top dawg

Nicks wasn't signed until roughly around this time last year, and his market has taken a hit, but that doesn't mean that he won't be signed. He would probably make a good WR3 with some upside on several teams.

Gurley in the first, Agholor in the second, and Ogbuehi in the third would make me happy.

Fear Gurley, Huddle! You should. {LOL like Vincent Price at the end of Thriller} Gooooooo Dawgs! Sick 'em! Woof woof woof woof!

What, was this thread bumped out if desperation? Nothing new here.

Denarius Moore visiting the Jets tomorrow.

I honestly don't know the Browns' strategy. They have basically been flailing in the kiddie pool even though they are in no danger of drowning. What a sight.

We all have our opinions.

Thomas, didn't I basically say that in the first post you quoted (not to mention I confirmed it in the post afterwards)? Technically his position is WR, and that's what I was obviously referring to. Hence why I said that he was signed primarily to be our returner. I basically trust him as a returner, though I do note his drop off in production last season as a concern.

I agree totally. I just don't think that Gettleman is going to put all his eggs in one basket with these two guys.

If you think that Ginn fulfills our need for speed at WR, then watch Gettleman acquire someone else via draft. He is a career returner with decidedly small nondescript contributions at WR for a reason. Sure you can point to his one season here, but that was hardly earth shattering, and our resulting early exit from the playoffs just screamed "Upgrade!" Ginn's real value is as an upgrade to special teams, and hopefully his production will not continue falling off from last season.

Ted Ginn and Michael Oher cannot be trusted at this point to sufficiently fill our needs at their respective positions. I will be shocked if we don't draft someone at each position to hedge our bets, so to speak. Indeed, I believe that the primary purpose of signing Ginn was for special teams and to provide depth at wide receiver, not to be our answer for a speedy receiver (in terms of moving further into the playoffs).

I don't care if we use free agency or trades to HELP us win a championship, just as long as we win one. Both are valid and proven tools to that end. The trick is determining when to use these tools to supplement your team. Only a fool would say that you always have to take risks and/or pull out your bank roll to build a championship caliber team. Only another fool would say that you always have to keep your hands in your pocket. Like a good coach, the best GMs are able to develop a game plan and put it into action, but also continually evaluate a situation and adapt to attain and sustain success. I don't get why so many fail to see that. I guess people want to fool others and/or fool themselves.

And yet, John Schneider in Seattle has made a ton of moves during his tenure. There's not one set way to build a championship team, the GM just has to know what he is doing, and why. The ability to adapt (and adapt on the fly) seems like the least appreciated part of being a GM as far as this place is concerned.

According to Rap, after all is said and done, the Bucs will have paid Johnson 16 mil for 14 games. What a train wreck of a decision.

Stevie Johnson visiting Pats on Monday. Rumor had it that it makes sense for them to get a WR that has had some success against Revis

Reggie Bush to the 49ers

I am tired of trying to connect the dots to prove some nebulous point. Cam needs more legitimate weapons. Any objective observer should be able to see that. I don't care how we get them, and we don't have to bankrupt the team to do it.

The better question in my mind is whether or not Bersin can be easily upgraded. I absolutely believe that he can, along with most of our receiving corps.

I bet the Saints draft DGB

Well, that's your point, and you're free to have it. Some of us think that we would do well to sign a mid to lower tier vet (depending on definition), and that by doing so it would help our receiving corps and playoff prospects to be in a much stronger position. Playoffs? Well, we were in there, so no use to saying that we shouldn't have been. All I know is that I'd like to continue to go back, and signing a cheap vet who has valuable experience and can make a difference on the field makes me feel more secure in our ability to do that. I don't believe, like others, that we should overpay for anyone, but I also believe that there may be a couple of options this year---not next---notwithstanding our cap that we may be able to sign once the smoke settles. Being that the 2015 free agency period is still relatively early I hope that we can sign a guy, but if we don't, we don't. In that scenario, we will just have to put more emphasis (hopefully) on drafting to upgrade holes at the position. Now that is how I feel. It's a little different than way you feel, or perhaps how others feel, but it's no more or less valid. What some people need to learn is that there is more than one way to get to Raleigh. Some take I40, some take US1, some take US70, some take HWY50, some take US264 and some take HWY401. They are all valid ways.

I was trying to figure out the same thing last night on Saints Report, which really didn't offer much other than something about Bees making a comment about Stills' "Cali" attitude one time. I did see where Stills defended Trent Richardson for being late. I guess it comes down to team chemistry, and the FO making a point and clearing house. Stills' attitude had to be worse than we know. Meanwhile, Toon has a great one. I guess Miami has to have their share of diva WRs, IDK.

Don't know if this was mentioned, but Phins trying to acquire Stills

Well, we can always go back to the record. I've often wondered about what percentage of certain members' posts will be hyperbolic, belittling, or sarcastic in nature.

Truthfully, it's just that nobody cares. Jeremy doesn't have to do anything, and people will still argue, troll, and use hyperbole as a means to circumvent discussing valid points.

Some of us already know. Igo was obviously trying to get a back and forth discussion going.
