The Fox regime has been pretty good about not letting good players leave

[Fiz]

back in the heyday of the atlanta braves run of dominance (when they'd at least wait until the postseason before they collapsed) there was an old saying: don't trade for a braves pitcher. if the braves didn't want him, there was nothing to be done with him. this held up until the braves traded their best pitching prospect for 130 games of JD Drew and Eli Merrero to prop up a meaningless record that no one gave a poo about anymore and put off the much needed year of rebuilding just to satiate bobby cox RRARARARARARAGAG fug YOU BOBBY COX

anyway, with only one notable except, Fox and co haven't been hit by any huge free agents leaving for greener pastures, which means that they value their own, and they have a good eye for talent. Only a couple of guys really stand out to me as major misses, and in 8 years that's pretty good.

2003

Hannibal Navies - sucked

Jamar Nesbit - never more than a grease man

2004

Kevin Dyson - sucked

Greg Favors - had one year left then fell apart

Deon Grant - overrated as hell, never more than serviceable

Reggie Howard - just a dude

Jeno James - okay he was pretty good. THIS ONE SUCKED

Jermaine Wiggins - sucked

2005

Brian Allen - I've never heard of this man

Travares Tillman - terrible

2006

Idrees Bashir - terrible

Ricky Manning Jr. - sucked after rule change, horrible off the field issues

Marlon McRee - murdered by angry chargers fans

Kemp Rasmussen - terrible

tutan reyes - started 9 games in the last 5 years

dante wesley - grease man

will witherspoon - fffffffffffffffffffff

2007

Vinny Ciurciu - grease man

Chris Draft - meh

Mike Siedman - worthless bust

2008

Drew Carter - worthless

Keary Colbert - tricked shanahan into signing him. now installing windows for lowes

Marquand Manuel - no lie: the worst safety in the league

Kindal Moorehead - fffffffffffffff boy that depth coulda helped!

2009

Geoff Hangartner - had to be let go. we couldn't afford him. im sure they would have liked to keep him

Mark Jones - cut by tennessee in training camp

Jason Kyle - had to be done to keep peppers, doesn't look bad because it didn't screw us

Frank Omiyale - useless in chicago

Adam Seward - he a bitch

there's only three in there in 8 years of fox free agency that stick out as bad losses. that's pretty cool.

now of course this doesn't take into consideration all the players that have received extensions that boggle the mind, and of course jovan haye getting cut after fifteen minutes, and maybe it's just a side effect of fox always staying on the side of sticking with players he knows, but it's kinda cool there's not many players i have to watch and think OH poo WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

thank you satan

Moorehead was pretty invisible in Atlanta as I remember, he was a decent depth tho.

THE SHOE IS THE SIGn

[DelhommesTheMan]

Tony Brown and Jovan Haye come to mind.....Although we were "stacked" on the line when they were here. Also Jarrett Bush who plays for Green Bay the past few years..

[Carolina Husker]

Not keeping Mark Jones was a mistake.

[Panthro]

where do we put Jovan Haye in this?

[CatMan72]

The problem here is that Fox/Hurney brought in most if not all of those guys - so this could just as easily be interpreted as an enditement of their ability to identify and aquire talent on a consistent basis...

Yup, both those guys were victims of a numbers game when they were with us... we had bigger holes to fill.

[Kurb]

Jarrett Bush is horrible.

Choke yourself for mentioning him.

These guys were cuts/attempted practice squad additions. But when it comes to letting FA's go we have a pretty good track record.

[X-Clown]

You forgot about letting Moose go for three years.

[GRWatcher]

Dante Wesley came back & is doing very well for us. Grease man indeed. See 1st Bucs 2009 game.

Terry Cousin left in 2004 but came back & played ST/safety well until he retired. Now does sports commentary for the Fox tv station in Charlotte.

Mark Jones would be with us if he had passed his physical. Once he healed, he re-signed with TN.

You missed the "Predator" who cut his hair and last I knew was with Houston doing well.

There was also a fullback that we cut that is a starter for TN. Casey Cramer?

Taye Biddle who is now a NY Giant. Met him, upstanding young man. Fast as hell.

Just off the top of my head. There's many more, I'm sure. These here probably would be remembered by fans, even Huddle members.

By doing well, you mean on IR for both of the 2 seasons he left the Panthers?
