Can we please

just stop it with the "Flowers has improved" meme, and accept that his so-called better play is an illusion created by a dramatically truncated playbook and the relative garbage around him on the OL?


Enough already. He still sucks. Another Jerry Top-10 gem,

Speaking of those, anybody seem Apple?
I think he would be a very functional RT

Flowers has improved

Don't see how anyone can argue with that. Playcalling or not
So 9 straight weeks

Yes, absolutely, if you think he looked anything more than JAG.

He will never justify his draft position. Never.

And unlike picks like Robinson, Mandarich, etc., EVERYONE KNEW Flowers was overdrafted. Only those geniuses Reese and Ross thought otherwise.
The next person who says he has improved

Top 10 pick and we hope he get to League average. Think about that.
You guys are so worried about Flowers who

Is at least suiting up and fighting for a job...meanwhile Eli Apple is getting healthy scratched 2 weeks in a row.

Both are indictments against Reese. You cannot fuck up top 10 picks. You just can’t. Period. That cock has done it twice in 3 years.
Well

When has flowers ever had to fight for a job?

And unless you've been absent from the board, Eli Apple has been getting ripped a new hole all season long around here.
TTH good points  
Bluesbreaker : 11/24/2017 1:43 am : link
I think he has played better is he the answer at LT I am not
sold 100% but you don't spend 10th round picks on RT's either . He isn't Greg Robinson yet but when you know he
is struggling against a speed rusher and offer no help that
part I don't get . Eli Apple has a family issue but again I am not sure that's the only reason your a healthy scratch .
I can understand initially but not two game .
Flowers will be graded at the end of the year it would be nice if we didn't have to go looking for one again .
There is no Blue Goose LT in this draft IMO
Let's face it,  
Doomster : 11/24/2017 7:12 am : link
when we have some semblance of a running game, and Eli gets rid of the ball quick, Flowers looks ok. But when trailing in the fourth quarter, and we have to pass, and Eli needs time on longer patterns, that's when you see the new improved Flowers!
No Blue Goose LT in draft?  
Doomster : 11/24/2017 7:16 am : link
Maybe we can get a decent LT in FAcy if we tell him he doesn't have to play RT!

Longest brain surgery in history...

you have to put some of the blame on the fact the QB can not move. Flowers has improved also another blame can go on the weapons we have left. No one respects or play threats at this time.

It wasn't nine games.. It just happened that he didn't give up a sack in those games but he still wasn't a good LT.. Just as an example Philly game he blew several run blocks to the point where our 4th and goal was completely ruined by him.. his horrible block gave us no hope on that play.. I am sure there have been other horrible plays in those nine weeks that we just don't remember.. but even if he is improved.. he isn't a top 20 or even a top 25 LT..
