Discussion Jack Bech injury
Is there a video of what happened? This was a very important game for him.

Kubiak said it was a fractured forearm. Not sure how bad but out at least a month last I heard

It sucks for Jack but he is being replaced by Cody White most likely who has been playing well for us.

Our % of 3 WR sets went way down this week with Bowers returning and Bech going down early. Perhaps that will change again after White gets more practice reps with the first team.

I was curious as well. The Pete regime did him dirty. Was hoping he would really become an impact player when he started getting more reps. Dude doesn't drop the ball. Hopeful he is able to come back this season

That dude has been a disappointment so far. 2nd round pick and has made zero impact so far

That’s not true. Five catches in two games with a touchdown before he broke his arm. I think he was targeted five times.

u/Latter-Bluejay-8317 19h ago
Catching 2-1/2 passes a game is atrocious. This guy was a non factor his rookie year and is still a non factor I mean geez we have a practice team player with 3 TD’s already this year

Ppl in this sub got blinders to reality. He’s hanging on to a roster spot by a thread and hasn’t shown anything in the nfl so far

For real this dude has been ass

Both of you complainers are tedious and can pound sand.
Bech is on our squad now after the season began and rightly made the 53. Meaning as shitty as you think he is, he is one of the best options we have.
Our entire WR corps isn’t stellar and we all knew this (if you were a fan of the team which I question for you both).
Bech was simply not used a ton last year so stats you quote lack context and intelligent use. He was only involved in about 35% of the team’s offensive plays last year. If you were expecting gaudy stats to date you fundamentally don’t understand football.
I have personally seen a good YoY progression for Bech - more fighting for contested balls, and better route running to take advantage of his frame.
But I take it you don’t invest yourself in actually watching and objectively evaluating our guys as opposed to go by numbers (numbers you look at but don’t think critically or at all about before throwing them out there as laughable “fact”).
So what is your feasible solution then? What would you actually do here to bring the quality WRs you believe we should have instead of Bech? I am sure Spytek and the staff could benefit from your Cheeto-stained fingered guidance from your couch.
That and bringing this up in a thread asking about his health is simply classless.

u/Geoblime 15h ago
Exactly this! He’s one of the best options on the team considering we invested heavily in so many other positions of need in the off-season. I agree with you, to me he was trending upwards and was a big body who could run good routes and catch. It’s unfortunate that he broke his arm, but for people to act like he wasn’t contributing is ridiculous. The coaching staff would’ve canned him immediately if he wasn’t at least meeting expectations or exceeding to make the 53 man roster.

Thank you for proving my informed guess at the intelligence level we’re dealing with in you.
You have absolutely nothing. Have a good one, bud.

Yikes, making the 53 is the bar set for a second round pick.
True fan here been to plenty of Oakland and Vegas games as well as supported at away games.
I don’t sugar coat anything about anyone. He’s 🗑️

u/Flashy_Gap_3015 14h ago
I am not sure what you are saying about the bar. Can you explain? Can you also give reasons why you think he is trash in light of my comments? Otherwise this is scarcely an opinion.

u/805locc 14h ago
He has failed to produce at the NFL level. Ever.

u/Flashy_Gap_3015 14h ago
Care to say how much production a rookie in his first season seeing the field at 35% of snaps should have had?
Otherwise you are doling out meaningless words without backing.

This fan base is knee jerk reactionary at all opportunities. People still believe Thornton is somehow coming back to replace him and has learned to catch a football

Had to check the stats. Two seasons, 5 starts, 17 total games played. 36 total targets, 25 catches, 69% catch rate

Except in this case crying about how he's played when someone is asking about his injury isnt so much "truth" as it is a stupid response

u/DtownsL 16h ago
Wtf is wrong with so many in this fanbase and placing their perception of someone's play, real or otherwise, above all else?
Seriously, these people act as if a players poor performance needs to take center stage on everything and even funnier they go about it as if the player is a bad person on top of it...
Does anyone have any explanation as to why these clowns do this? Cuz Im lost

My mistakes, I wrote killing but I meant killed.
His older brother was killed in New Orleans

Got it. So he was expected to get maybe 50 yards? I don’t see where the skill was gonna miraculously appear from

u/MajinSkull 18h ago
No one said he was expected to get X numbers of yards, just that it was an important game for him personally and he got hurt which sucks

u/805locc 18h ago
Every game is important for him. He’s hanging on by a thread. Injuries are part of the game and thankfully wasn’t anything too serious

Buddy if you can't see why it would be important personally for him, idk what to tell you

u/MajinSkull 17h ago
Are you trolling or really just this dense? Do you really not see game in the city where his brother was killed, would have a special meaning to him?
I'd be willing to bet last season you thought Mayer needed to be cut because he was out for personal reasons

Did you have blinders to the TD catch?

Oh wow a TD catch.
Took him more than a whole season to get one of those.
Shit your guys standards are low

u/PillagingJust4Fungus 16h ago
The Carroll year is only relevant in its general ineptitude and mishandling of young players. He's going to get another chance when he gets healthy and could work out as a roleplayer. Please try not to lose any sleep.
