  1. He has a rep for being an underachiever. And his being dumped by th last two teams who had him doesn't look good.

    It's possible he gets another shot, but I'm fine if he doesn't (here, anyway).

    I see, thanks.

    Hey as long as we can get rid of old man Harper for the S, they then can sign James then lol

    I'm fairly indifferent when it comes to Harper these days.

  2. Wr group would virtually almost be the 30 and over club.

    Eh, I can kind of see your point, but it is fairly moot. Ted Ginn just turned 30, but he has been running boys all up and down the field.

    Jones is only 31, it's not as if we are trying to sign Jerry Rice off the street here.

  3. I am too, but I also don't think James Jones is very good. 

    I haven't seen a ton of film on him, though I'm generally familiar with him. Can you elaborate a bit?

    I just find it odd that a guy who has managed at least 600 yards/3 TD's the last 5 consecutive seasons isn't at least worth a look.

  4. I have my reasons.   Imo, he is like Cotchery redux.  He has put up solid numbers throughout his career, but the best of them were when he was surrounded by talent in a pass-heavy system.   He won't be that guy here.  Remember everyone creaming their pants over Cotchery because of the numbers he put up in Pittsburgh?  Same deal... 

    I haven't exactly been enamored with Cotchery due to last year, but I'm open to exploring all options.

  5. People will be clamoring for him here, but I didn't think he could catch when we wanted him after he was released from GB, and now he's flopped off of 2 more teams in 1 season. I don't want to touch him, and that's a lot for me to say because I want to touch everyone

    Our options aren't exactly stellar, unless we manage a trade.

    You're welcome to touch me, I taste like strawberries.

  6. He's also gotten names like Edmund Kugbila, Kenjon Barner, amd Tyler Gaffney. If youre willing to part with this season on the off chance we find another AJ Klein, then that's your call but I'd wager most here are not, nor should the employees in that office.

    the team's inability to prepare for injuries dealt them this hand. We failed to act when the opportunities were there. We made our bed and now we will either have to do something or lie in it. 

    Kugbila was definitely a big swing, and a miss. But he was a fourth rounder. I think Gettleman learned his lesson there.

    As for Barner, and Gaffney. If two of the three acquisition mistakes from Gettleman that you can come up with are sixth round draft picks, well, it could be much worse. See Marty Hurney trading away first rounders like they were candy.

  7. There have been plenty of people on this very message board suggesting Cotchery should not have a roster spot. Jeremy is not wrong about that. Maybe it's a vocal minority, but they're out there. 

    That stems just about entirely from his performance last season. It's not the fans fault that he too often disappeared in games.

    He's going to get plenty of opportunities this season with KB out. We need him to bounce back.
