    Well in his defense, look ato who he has had
    Well look at who he is had throwing him the ball. Tyrod Taylor Jake Locker Ryan Fitzpatrick. Not exactly great

    So what will Ben say now having a 6'7 Green, 6'4 Hunter 6'3 Bryant and a Brown. With Bell in the backfield...

    Insurance, like others have said. Probably more so for Coates, his hand was messed up bad.

    Thought they might make a play for Patterson but he's since been signed. I liked Hunter coming out of college, hasn't put it together in the pros though. Wont hurt having Ben throwing to him, maybe he'll be better.

    My 2 cents.....

    Hunter and Bryant are so similar and numbers of production match up so closely it's scary .

    He's more than just insurance. He's expected to come in and compete and upgrade DHB and Moreover Cobi Hamilton.

    Sammy Coates was injuryed but I don't believe that injury was his problem the last two games he played.
    He'll be on the roster this year unless something unexpected happens but he is on notice, produce or bye.

    I like Hunter. His QB's have been Fitzpatrick, Mettenberger, Mariota (rookie season) and Tyrod Taylor. Ben should make him better.

    No spot for Barwin, once they draft a OLB he will need to get some snaps.

    Over/Under 10 catches for him next season?

    I like Hunter, but knowing the Steelers, I can see him buried in the depth chart if he makes the team.

    Apparently Bryant is tweeting and none too happy with the #s comparison or signing... Good deal he should be fired up

    Ugh, come on Bryant, he's your teammate now. How about some tact.

    Dont know if he's intimidated by the signing or not but shouldn't be. Not in danger of losing his roster spot unless he isnt on the field.

    Bryant needs to shut his trap and focus solely on winning back the trust of his coaches and teammates!

    A little sensitive that we signed another tall, fast guy?

    And somebody needs to remind Martavis that he had NO FILM last year while Hunter was adding to his.

    Hes not wrong, theres no comparison other than fast.

    Dont know if he needs to be griping about it though.

    I will second that, he would be a nice fit for us if he still has a big motor?

    Yep.

    I get the sense that Bryant gets a bit misinterpreted in his media views. He doesn't seem to be complaining about the signing, more the assumptions by some that the signing is to replace him.

    He's young and needs a bit of media training (even if that phrase makes me die a little inside), but I'd need to see something more concrete to get on his back about it.

    Unless he gets suspended again, obvs.

    Well, we could sign Barwin and cut Moats to improve the pass rush.

    i hope he's not instead of bryant rather than with bryant and AB. DHB really doesn't bring that type of game to us anymore. he could be playing for his spot this year. mann will have quite the stable to work with and so will ben. add rogers and green with bell and there should be no excuses but to put up 30+ per game this year. :cool:

    Again, I love Bryant, but he's a moron. There's a reason I wanted to sign a FA WR. Hunter will work. The D still needs help at every level. Gotta add more, even if just depth.
