Well somebody has to play on those bad teams. That's just a decision a player has to make. But plenty of them are happy to take more money to play on a bad team, especially if they get to be the guy at that position. Not only do they get more money and more opportunity, but they also get to help turn a team around. In the case of Harper, he was getting out from under Irvin's shadow (as well as Smith and Novacek). And just looking at the numbers at the time, it seems like he got far more money to play in Tampa than DAL would give him. And it was probably a good move because much of that TB contract was gtd and he ended up getting hurt anyways. If he had gotten hurt in DAL, he would have gotten a fraction of the money. But I don't really see most agents as toxic. These players need somebody advocating for them and looking out for their interests, as well as someone to navigate the complexities of contract negotiations and contract language. Agents can do all of that and more. I bet if you asked players, most would say they are more than worth the 4-15% they give them. You should see how hard some of these low-level agents work, especially the ones that represent college players who are just trying to get drafted. It's a serious grind.

Your missing my point. This was not a pass first offense so any opportunities for Pittman last year were dictated by the run game. I can see the offense being more balanced under Ryan and we can see even better numbers from Pitt. 1300 yards and 10 tds would not surprise me.

That's a pretty tall order for MAC, amirite?

I have to agree. MAC blocks really well. But he really should, given his sheer size and nearly 12" hands. But as a pass catcher and athlete, MAC appears to be very heavy-footed and plodding. And if I had to guess, this is probably one reason why Reich doesn't use him in the short-intermediate range, outside of a pick play or drag hot route where they can scheme him open. Reich doesn't just forget about him or take him out of the playbook for fun. He sees MAC in practice everyday.
