  1. To be fair Newton was the hammer when he got into the open field. The last LB I can think of that would have really tried to take him on is Ray Lewis (and obviously a ton of hard nosed bastards before him). Almost everyone made a 'business decision' when the 6'5", 250lb Newton was running free and didn't go for the kill shot.
  2. After what he's done to this franchise he needs the public embarrassment of being a first round pick (the #1 overall pick) that was cut after his third season. He doesn't have it.
  3. Especially when that 71 yard carry should have been a 7 yard carry if Scott could fuging tackle.
  4. 3-9 last year, 0-9 in conference. They're a terrible football team. 63rd ranked recruiting class last year too.
  5. I'd play him primarily at CB, his money position, and sprinkle him in at WR.
  6. Started the trend of quitting on your teammates before a Bowl Game. Sandbagged it with the Panthers when he realised we weren't winning poo - loads of soft tissue injuries to keep him out of games. Eventually we had to trade him.
  7. 2 first round picks for a player you were unwilling to spend half your cap space on. Seems a decent, if not ideal, deal.
  8. We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
  9. Agree to disagree. Neither was the most qualified candidate on the market that offseason. Both conceded to Tepper's demands to try and rescue Young in return for a job as an NFL HC and GM. They screwed it up when they traded the world for Young - but anyone with a brain knew that.
  10. They were both clearly hired on the premise that they'd try to rescue Young.
  11. Think we had to negotiate because (for some reason) we weren't willing to eat any of his salary.
  12. Ah so they are actually watching the game tape then. Good to know.
  13. It's odd considering they didn't give him a chance - when they let him on the field he had Plummer throwing him the ball.
  14. If a 34 year old Adam Thielen is the lynchpin of your O you have a massive QB problem.
  15. Cos he looks much better?
  16. So you're paying franchise DL money to guy who you just hope can occupy two blockers and not give up ground? Seems unwise.
  17. Nah, he's not big enough to be a 3-4 NT and realistically it's a waste of his skills. He's tailor made to be a 4-3 DT or a 3-4 DE.
  18. Lewis needs to stop grabbing so much jersey.
  19. Allen was borderline unplayable in College. He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
  20. They threw him to the wolves. He needed to sit a year and rework his footwork. I wanted to sit at #9 and take him if he fell (he obviously didn't) - I didn't envision him being so fragile.
  21. Wasn't he an excellent DC? (which is why he kept getting HC interviews despite failing at his first few)
