Remember this thread friends. When Fleener is missing games and Ertz and Eifert are killing the league.

I love Allen by the way, this has nothing to do with him. 2 tightends is still a good idea.

so because he had problems this year he is never going to be healthy again?

I dow understand how y'all are sitting here saying Ertz is better. If Ertz was better than Fleener, he would've STARTED OVER FLEENER. But did he? No. So who's the better TE?

Why did Henson start over Brady? A lot can happen in a yr. Ertz has become a man.

He's a Junior now right? So he was there for 2 years. He had TWO years to start over Fleener. And don't say he was a freshman. Freshman can start over upper classmen

Late bloomer. Toilolo(sp?) played more than him too, but who's better now?

Quarterback Andrew Luck targets Ertz significantly more than his two other tight ends, Coby Fleener and Levine Toilolo. Heading into the USC game, Luck looked to Ertz 31 times, Fleener 21 times and Toilolo 12 times.

From an espn article after Ertz was injured in the sc gm. Seems Luck prefered him over Fleener too.

so your complaining about Fleener being hurt and you mention that Ertz has an injury history?

He either missed the Fiesta Bowl or left early. The biggest gm of the yr

 

He missed no games.   Started the Fiesta Bowl,  caught a couple of passes,  then sprained an ankle.   Bad enough that he missed the combine about 6-7 weeks later.

 

That's it.    And this is his entire injury history.   He had minor back surgery one off-season.   But that didn't impact any games.

 

Oh, Ertz missed about 5-6 games with a bad leg that he hurt in the 2011 season, Coby's senior year.   But no one thinks of him as injury prone.    

 

Hey, it's football.   Guys get hurt.    Give it enough time, and Andrew Luck will likely get hurt.   Stuff happens.

 

Look...  maybe Fleener works out and maybe he doesn't.   But it's been just one year.   Give it time, and let's see what happens.  Maybe he turns out pretty good...

 

Here's Fleener's bio:

remind me never to go to war with Goodluck by my side in the trenches--putting the white flag up pretty quickly.  Fleener has had 1 yr and you're already looking at shipping him off.  Injuries are a part of the game, but he may never miss another game, and has shown enough to give confidence for the future

And if it happens in reverse and Fleener is tearing it up and Ertz and Eifert are subpar/injured can we all point and laugh at you and your thread?

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
