Just going to throw this out there:

Would you rather have Horton or Ealy?

When we cut Horton we held onto Ealy. We've cut Horton twice if I remember correctly. Ealy would be cheap, Peppers could help, Ealy obviously has some talent. 

I'm not advocating...just throwing it out there...well because...Huddle

Horton is dependable, unlike Ealy.

Landry's overrated, but the other guys are fair points.

For us, he would've been worth it had we won SB50. But then again, he was never good long term, so I'd say he's a bust.

But Gettleman was the one who first realized that and fleeced Bellicheck. Very few people have ever done that.

Just think if we had had the slot receiver that produced more yards than any other slot receiver in NFL history for his first three years, along with Kelvin Benjamin (who is/was also "overrated" according to some). Hell, even without Benjamin in '15, Landry may have made a winning difference against the Broncos.

Logic tells me because he was release and we can sign him for next to nothing and continue to develope him keeping what we already received from the pats it's a no brainer to bring him back under these conditions but what do I know..

I agree with this assessment.  If we can claim off waivers why wouldn't you bring him back?

 

if he is a cancer then fine but we will never know.

Landry is pretty damn good

Makes stupid decisions half the time. He's force fed the ball more-so than Cam force feeding KB in '14 and '16.

I personally don't get the hype. If you look at just his tape alone, he doesn't look that special. I get why people look at his stats and pop their eyes open wide, but very few times do I see him act as a top tier slot receiver that he's supposed to be.

Both Gettleman and Hurney f*ckd up on their chances to take care of the 2nd WR position. 

Both guys couldn't have had the draft go any better for them and they pissed it away. 

Hurney with his Amini over Alshon pick in the 2nd round and then Gettleman with his Ealy pick. Both of these aren't "hindsight is 20/20" cases either. These both should have been no brainers that would've finally given us that 2nd WR.

Both Ealy and Robinson were projected in rds 2 or 3 so not sure where you are going with that argument. We had a need and had just drafted a first rd receiver. Hindsight is wonderful.

Here's some hindsight for you. No Ealy and then no Hardy. If he wanted to be good he could have been.

He's trying to make something happen.

Down 24-0 with 47 seconds left in the half.  Landry was 5th in the league last year in YAC yards, given the situation you want to see him try and make something happen.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
