Pitta has been bad. His lack of blocking has directly led to several failed plays in the past 3 games. He's a liability.

This is what gets me about this organization man. They are willing to go with D coordinators who are innovative, but they go with these re-treads at O coordinator. The result is a tired offense that is predictable because it's been seen over and over again.

We don't actually know what the PED was, do we.
And correct me if I'm wrong, don't you just have to carry a fake pee kit with you to avoid getting caught? I mean if you insist on using a banned substance, shouldn't you put a little more thought into your counter-testing plan. I thought I read it was stupidly easy to avoid detection of such things. Not endorsing cheating here, but if you can make something a complete non-issue, might as well do so. I'll bet some significant percentage of players are easily getting away with it. My guess 15 - 20% are at some point cycling on and off PEDs.

That's a good point. I might be wrong but isn't adderall considered a PED?

Yup, I'm glad his body has held up but he's not doing much out there positive. We'd save 3.3M if he's cut next season with 4.4M dead.

At least Pitta took a $4 million pay cut to play this year. I would imagine he'd have to do something similar if he wants to come back in 2017

they probably would do that. Hes not good. He never was that great really, and now that any quickness he once had, and was his only great attribute is gone, hes basically a waste of a spot. however...

I still have hope for Maxx returning healthy, but hes not played enough to know what you got. Gilmore seems to have issues staying healthy and has been up and down when he has played. Boyle is a bone head. Watson may not return the same either and was already questionable signing at his age pre-injury. that leaves Waller. Ive been pleasantly surprised by his play. He clearly still needs to learn how to play the position (routes which he was green at as a WR) but he does seem to be a matchup issue at times and his blocking has been surprisingly adequate. so theres still a lot of questions at the position, which a few months ago we would have thought it was a deep position with too much talent.

that said, no pay cut and hes likely a casualty.

Well, the whole tight end situation has been pitta-ful. I'm darren you to find a bright spot. Seriously, it's been a crockett of crap. A disappointment to the maxx.

He was worth it when he was getting open and catching passes. But since he went off against Cleveland in week 2, he is averaging 33 yards a game with ZERO touchdowns. He hasn't gotten in the end zone all season (although admittedly your red zone targets can become a lot less effective when you can't get in the fucking red zone.)

He's averaging less than five yards per target. His biggest asset was being automatic on 3rd and less-than-five, and that is gone too. He's really not bringing anything to the table, which is sad because the comeback story was pretty awesome.

Yeah, otherwise he at serious risk of getting 80/20'd and that might happen anyway. I'd imagine this'd be the team he would want to play for so he can still hang with Joe. What other team is going to give him much of a contract anyway?
