Fairly disappointed in a few Huddlers today.

I haven't read past the first few posts. Should I not?

[Mr. Scot]

Would he tell on me though?

Just kidding!!!!!!! Obviously not, but I couldn't resist jumping at the opportunity of rustling a few jimmies on this late friday afternoon.

But on a serious note, a mean streak isn't something you can just develop. Hanging out with Norwell ain't going to do jack poo, it's something you have or you don't. Like I said I don't mind this signing because of the low risk, I haven't paid any attention to the product Martin brings on the field so I can't bash this signing.

 

Disagree.

 

Sometimes, teammates can arguably have a bigger influence on players than coaches do.

 

Turner talked about how he thought he was 'nasty' till Norwell showed him a whole other level.

 

For that matter, how many stories have you seen of bullying victims going apes--t on people when they've finally had enough?

 

As mentioned, I'm not his biggest fan, but I acknowledge the possibilities are worth what minimal risk we're taking.

[Chief Keek]

Nice, finally got some depth at the OT position.

[Mr. Scot]

You want another good reason to support this?

 

Frank Garcia hates the idea.

 

Given Frank's track record, I'd call that a good sign.

2nd last part I agree with. We can only hope everything finally clicks and being in a good environment helps him out. I get that Miami was a mess of a situation but I'm not sure why the Niners gave up on him so quickly when he's still under his rookie contract.

The Niners gave up on him for the same reason they gave up on most of their coaches.

 

He was associated with Harbaugh.

mean streak or not, he and oher are insanely better than who we had last year.

 

those two with our interior line and remmers for rotational work makes for what cam has never had...a complete, reliable and solid OL.

 

none of our OTs may be all-pro, but seriously, do they have to be? all we need is reliable. oher is healthy now and back with the OL coach that helped make him so good in baltimore and martin is in a very good and stable lockerroom situation (ie, no drama).

 

and consider this....oher, martin, and remmers is the base for what we have to work with heading into the season. they are the foundation that can be built upon and added to. even if we do nothing else, the OL as a whole unit is much better than it was last year or even the previous year (and no i'm not saying either are better than gross).

Don't worry he won't be on the 53 man roster next year.  The coaches will see for themselves how much he sucks.  

[top dawg]

Welcome , just look at the grin and the stack of cash in his hand

Damn! I don't see any pussy right there.

Get it? I win!

the 500+ page thread about Jarrett Boykin's VISIT 2 weeks ago didn't tip you off?

 

[Cary Kollins]

Yeah I rememebr that insane mean streak our former stud LT Jordan Gross had.

Man, he was scary!

[tondi]

Not a fan of the guy but its hard to be against bringing him in on a deal like this where he doesn't cost much and we can cut him with zero cap impact at any time. 

[Mr. Scot]

@RapSheet: Hard not to like what #Panthers have done at tackle: Signed Oher, claimed Martin. Good value, won’t affect comp picks, creates competition

Even Ian Rapoport sees the big picture.

Michael Oher was injured and played bad. Isn’t actually bad RT @RobSchroeder12: @RapSheet both players are bad, but other than that I agree
