The funny this here is we had a pro bowl TE before this year, and now we have what we wanted before but no TE.

Ya but I'm glad we went in the direction we did. I'll take losing Alge and signing Turner and Coleman. Everything will work out.

As others have said it looks like Ryan likes him and has a connection with him and you do whatever it takes to keep Ryan happy.

When a receiver is drafted highly and has the proper situation around him, they rarely fail. Most top draft picks at wide receiver will flourish if they are in a good situation. And it's not that difficult to produce more than Jenkins.

Again, stop the argument. It's not going anywhere.

I'm actually liking Justin Peele. He doesn't really have the ability to get open by himself but when he is open, he has very good hands. He's also a pretty good blocker. At this point I'd rather have a blocker at TE who can catch the occasional pass than an explosive pass catcher at TE who can't block worth crap.

As a bonus, blocking TEs are MUCH cheaper.

Peele isnt that great of a blocker, but then again Im sure we are not paying him very much.
