Is James going to be our main TE going forward?

    Mac,
    I was in Taiwan for liberty and training. Going back to Okinawa we had to do a beach landing AKA Amphibious Assault at Orwan Bay on Okinawa. I bought a James Gang album when in Taiwan. When we landed we had to dump our packs and the customs guys were. (American Customs) one of which I was certified as one of them. I knew this Bytch who did it, I took my class to be a customs guy with him. He took my James Gang album, called it contraband. I know he stole it but I never caught up to him to take it back. There is a law no albums were allowed into OKI from other countries. But he could have walked off. He lucked out in the end because I forgot his name.

    Same here ... but with James I look at him as a clumsy version of Heath..he always seem be off balance after the catch...his feet have to catch up to the body

    I like JJ, but based on what we've seen from him thus far he's not the answer for the #1 TE. Obviously the Steelers don't think he's the answer since they've went out and signed a TE the last two seasons.
    If (and that's a big if) Vance McDonald can cut down on the drops and stay healthy, he's easily the best TE on the team.

    I think they are just looking for a different type of TE, one they can send down the seam.

    JJ doesnt offer that, hes more in the mold of a Heath Miller (not as good obviously).

    For how they use him though, I like what JJ does.

    I have an old James Gang album where the end of the first side is a continuous groove with Joe Walsh saying turn me over, turn me over,...
    On the flip side it keeps repeating play me again, play me again,...

    I got two beefs with J. James overall. The drops and the YAC. I imagine YAC has little chance to be improved, but damn, just catch the ball PLEASE.

    JJ is okay. I like him. He just doesn't have a lot to offer. He's a second or third TE on most teams.
    McDonald has the potential to be twice the TE as James. Don't know if we'll see that potential realized though?
