Norwood and Funch need to be a quick study

No time to panic about the WR situation yet. I think with Norwood and Cotchery we have guys that are reliable. Add Funchess to the mix once he is ready. Ginn and Brown are the speed guys to keep a defense honest (at least the possibility of long completion).  There is no one avaiable that will be much help, and a trade will get us raped. Once they get Norwood and Funchess in the mix, we should be okay.

Stop saying nobody is available that could help, James Jones just scored two tds off the street. There are guys out there better than what we have. 

Can you please just shut the front door about James Jones already? I mean jesus christ. The dude was in Green Bay for YEARS working with the BEST QB IN THE NFL who is familiar with him and has an established relationship with.  It makes sense that he was able to come in and produce in an offense that he was FAMILIAR with that required a refresher. We traded for Norwood a few weeks ago and he's still trying to get up to speed with our offense. 

Also they have an offensive coordinator who isn't a fuging doorknob. So please AceBoogie, stop bitching like a 13 year old girl at a jewish sleep away camp.

I called in November of last year we would reunite with Ginn this year

 

Here's my new bold prediction: LaFell is going to get cut in New England during the season and we're going to bring him back. 

 

Donald "Oh wee mayne" LaFell makes his glorious return home

I was pleased with Cotchery yesterday. He already matched his touchdown total from last year in our first game.

There's no reason that shouldn't continue either.  Cotch is a good red zone target.  He knows what he's doing out there, and defenses tend to forget about him in the red zone.

I never once said we should have signed James Jones. I'm simply pointing out that we are quick to dismiss a guy as "done" and that isn't always true. If we cut Philly Brown today, how many teams would sign him? What about Ginn? Nobody would sign Ginn and if they did it would be to return kicks. Our whole WR group is made up of a bunch of guys nobody else wants.

James Jones wouldn't have mad a difference here, he's still a possession receiver. 

He went back to a team, offense, and quarterback he had several years of familiarity with, let a lone a playbook he already knows. 

If you thought he'd come here and be a number one off the bat you're delusional. He was let go by Green Bay two years ago, and Oakland cut him after one, and he only returned to Green Bay post injury to Nelson which left them twin at the position. 

Guys need to be patient and let Norwood, and Funchess get acclimated. It's gonna be funny when by mid-season and these guys have a level of comfort what the James Jones wanters will say...

I'd rather see two young receivers get meaningful reps to prepare us down the road, Jones would be a band-aid. Funchess, Norwood, and Benjamin upon return could be a very formidable group, it makes more sense to get those two involved than hope a 31 year old possession receiver can save our receiving group.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd welcome this with open arms.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
