Jacoby Jones signs with Chargers

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.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
