My dream scenario is we sign Andre Johnson. Please do not give KB the Smitty treatment and leave him out there on a island by himself his entire career.

Ginn would be a nice pick up but nothing more, Harvin can't stay healthy and I'm not the biggest Torrey Smith fan. I imagine Johnson can be had for a lot cheaper than Cobb and AJ can still win on the outside and would be a nice veteran addition teams have to account for.

Breathe in, breathe out. It's going to be okay.

Jones is very concerning because he fit our mold of the type of FAs we sign and he filled a huge need in the return game, if we can't even land a guy like Jones then who are we going to land?

I think Gettleman made a mistake making his dollar tree comment, he should have lowered expectations and still beat the "we are still cap challenged" comment to not get hopes up

Looks like my concern about this off season is starting to be justified. First Marshall then Jones. Two down

 

Oh yeah.  Panic before the negotiating period even starts is really smart :rolleyes:

 

To be honest, I'm not ready to write our return game off even if we don't get Ginn.  Definitely not this early in the process.

Marshall was drafted during the Truman administration and Jones sucks.

I certainly hope they werent the standard.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
