Evaluating Talent.....What We Really Have

[OneBadassCat]

let's move forward...

QB:

try moore out this year and see what he can do. if he can't do the job get rd of both him and jake (and feeley as well). draft a QB from a pro-style offense early and pick another up from FA in the offseason. keep hunter in the PS...i don't care. let him develop. go into camp next year with mccown as the starter. the FA should be experienced and familiar with whatever system we run to be mainly used as another set of eyes for the QB on the field.

RB:

willams/stewart/sutton/fiammetta (hoover will likely retire, imo)

WR:

smith/jarrett/moore/goodson (yes, goodson should be moved to WR or at least be considered a RB/WR hybrid) + draft or grab a good respectable WR from FA next year and let the cream rise to the top. moose has no contract after this year. lets not give him another one and let's focus on developing talent by giving the young ones real opportunities. whoever isn't starters should only be kept if they are a real asset to special teams.

TE:

don't change a thing

OL:

get robinson involved more and give him a shot at RG. keep the starting 5 intact but plan on robinson moving into vincents spot and give otah and robinson experience working together since that is likely the future of that side. scrap everyone else and bring in 2-3 more experienced linemen as depth. we should have 8 OL active at all times and have 9-10 on the 53 man roster.

Dline:

only way peppers and kemo are kept is if there is no cap next year.

DEs: johnson, brayton, brown, peppers (or some brayton type DE brought in via FA). i don't care one way or the other about taylor.

DTs: tank, thomas, leonard, irvin, lewis, and kemo (if uncapped). might try to find another solid run stuffing DT. to compete with thomas and kemo (if either/both are kept).

LBs:

keep beason and davis for sure. diggs, connor, anderson should all be kept but let SAM be a legit competition. get rid of landon johnson. bring in a FA/rookie for depth but only if their real strength is in special teams.

DB:

core needs to be gamble, marshall, munnerlynn, harris, martin. depth for defensive backs should come from people who are chosen as STers first. wesley is a shoe in. godfrey only kept if he can contribute on running down returners.

STs:

get rid of all kickers and bring in two who can do it all...and i mean do it all. i would love to have a punter who played rugby as a fly half or a scrum half who can punt, kick, throw, or run with ease to give the STs some more options. i'd also be happy chasing after the next ray guy award winner to come out of college (whoever that is).

if you aren't in a starting role then you better be able to be solid on special teams. i would love for us to be able to go after people who are special teams players first in positions that we need depth in.

Holy poo could you imagine our d-line(all healthy) in a goaline situation?

Peppers, Leonard, Thomas, Kemoatu, Tank Tyler, Charles Johnson

[Hairless Cat]

Nice write up Uptownd, but you have grade inflation going on. I'd move all the A 's to B' s the B' s to C 's and etc.

Were more average in NFL talent than above average. otherwise we'd have a winning record this year.

And *opposing RB* cuts around the corner for six!

F for the QB?

come on- be objective ......

ryan leaf, jamarcus russel = F

Jake is a C- QB

F is just your bias // F QB's dont start in the NFL

[Snake]

The 3 major problems this team has are.

Sitting on leads and not putting teams away.

Not stopping teams on 3rd downs and 4th downs.

Not being able to pass the ball on offense.

all other problems are minor compared to these and if we can fix all of those problems we will be a very good team.

IMO Jake dose not need to be starting. Thats coming from someone who has defended him till this year. I like Jake as a person and think he would be a great mentor to a young QB and would be a great backup but not a starter.

[The Faceless]

IMHO I don't think Gamble is worth the contract we paid. IF and i reiterate IF we had to trade someone to get draft picks, picks plus players, what have you, trade him instead of Smith or Stewart. We've found some good DB's lately and we could pick a good one in the draft and let CJ Wilson play more.

well if he wasnt starting i would say he is an F

[rayzor]

how many teams around the league would jake still be starting for?

i can see cleveland, buffalo (already shown he can throw to their players), oakland, and maybe tampa.

beyond that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone willing to put up with his crap. even in those situations, though, they were at least willing to see what other options they have and not happy with the idea of settling.
