Spinner 0 Posted September 12, 2016 I didn't see the game but how did Fleener only have 6 yards...2 receivers had 280 but Fleener a no-show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brotherbock 349 Posted September 13, 2016 Fleener is not a good football player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted September 13, 2016 I'll give him another game or two...on my bench. If he doesn't pull it together he's hitting the waivers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 816 Posted September 13, 2016 Fleener is not a good football player. Apparently IND used a two-TE set which sort of excused his lame stats there. But if he stinks it up with Drew Brees where every TE does well, then I guess he just stinks. Could be a flukish game... or a precedent of things to come. Need a few more weeks before the trend is obvious. Welcome to Week 1 of the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need a few more weeks before the trend is obvious. Welcome to Week 1 of the NFL. I think it was Luck. They played together I college, right? I suspect that Luck just knew, after those college years, "Oh, right, Fleener is gonna run that stupid mistaken route that he can never figure out, so I'll throw it there". Everyone else doesn't know exactly what dumb thing he's gonna pull, so they will have trouble getting him the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted September 13, 2016 Brees doesn't need a safety valve at TE, he's too busy lighting up the WRs on the outside. There's no better QB in the league at finding the single coverage. What an absolute focking assasin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted September 13, 2016 I'm gonna ride it out and see how it goes. If he puts up another goose egg next week I'll bench him and try to make a trade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mack 1 6 Posted September 13, 2016 There were rumblings that dude had trouble with the playbook during training camp. Thought those Stanford cats were smart. Oh well. He's on my bench till further notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DankNuggs 305 Posted September 13, 2016 He will ease into production... First couple weeks may take some patience, but i'd imagine by mid season into the stretch run he will be balling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobSanders_33 127 Posted September 13, 2016 I'm gonna ride it out and see how it goes. If he puts up another goose egg next week I'll bench him and try to make a trade He sure will have a lot of trade value then. I think with all the weapons this year including Michael Thomas in the middle of the field and Cadet getting work he is going to have a lot of uneven games. That can be expected from a lot of TE's but people had dreams of him being a top 4 TE and that is not going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brotherbock 349 Posted September 14, 2016 Thought those Stanford cats were smart. No way. They have the same grade inflation as the Ivy League schools. Once you get in, you're guaranteed a B minimum just for being enrolled. George W Bush went to Yale and Harvard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldtimer 84 Posted September 14, 2016 I figured he would end the season as a TE1, but probably no better than 7th or 8th. I still think he has a shot to be right in that middle-of-the-pack TE group. Probably a few decent games, and a lot of low touch games where he is no better than average. He is the only TE I have, so I'm stuck with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted September 14, 2016 Brees went to Fleener early, the timing was off. I don't think the trust is there yet. But it is inevitable that they will get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
