It's Still Not Rocket Science.

The release of Brian Hartline has unleashed a slew of complex theorizationalizing by everybody who thinks they have a clue about analytics.

It was about his age and injuries, and about at least two and maybe four guys on the roster who can do what he does.

Young guys, two of which are under contract for four years.

Some writers always think that one old veteran receiver is critical.  No it's not.  Receivers aren't quarterbacks or cornerbacks.

That's why Andrew Hawkins could be next.  He's a really good and reliable player when healthy, but he's hit the big three-oh and he's getting dinged up too.

Hue Jackson wont keep guys just because he knows them.

Hue Jackson almost certainly had Terrelle Pryor penciled in as soon as he signed his contract.

They don't consider it critical to have a veteran wide receiver to be a role model.  The new guys are young, but they're not children.  And wide receivers aren't quarterbacks.

Brian Hartline won't be out of work for long.  I wish him all the best.
