We sign Ball, Bucks sign Sterling Moore


top dawg

Recommended Posts

I was just perusing the news for the day, and this caught my eye:

"Filling in for a disappointing Morris Claiborne, Moore finished the season as one of the 25 best cornerbacks in football, according to Pro Football Focus. Over 713 snaps, he broke up eight passes and allowed just 61 percent of the passes thrown his way to be caught."

They signed him to $1.525 million, a cheaper contract than we did Ball. I am curious as to which is going to turn out to be the better deal. Moore is a lot younger with some upside, but of course Ball has more experience.

I know that Ball has balled out in spurts before, and last year was probably Moore's first appreciable playing time, but it would be interesting to see how Ball has ranked cover the years vs. Moore's stint last year,

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
