Cut Jarrett...

T.J. Houshmandzadeh-WR- Seahawks Sep. 5 - 4:02 pm et

Coach Brad Childress confirmed Sunday that the Vikings have no intentions of signing free agent T.J. Houshmandzadeh at this time.

Minnesota is believed to be Houshmandzadeh's landing spot of choice, but the team isn't going to bring him in before Week 1, if they do at all. Housh needs to start seriously considering Washington. If he signed with the Skins today, he could probably enter the starting lineup before Sunday's opener.

I am not one of those on the "we need to bring in a wr" fans. I figured all along with the not bringing in a vet, no trade or attempt for Boldin, etc the Panthers were going with what they have and I understood that for whatever it was worth. BUT with TJ it is an intriguing though. I dont think he will come here nor will the Panthers pursue him. I also dont know much about what kind of locker room guy or vet he would be here. That being said........ I do not think I would be opposed or upset if the Panthers did bring him in and cut Jarrett. If they did that, I would trust Fox and Hurney's judgement. A WR core with Smith, TJ and the three younge guys does seam much better then A WR core with Smith, Jarrett and the three younge guys.

This is one I would like to see the Panthers consider pursuing and see if they can bring him in..... assuming of course he would be an upgrade over Jarrett.

and you know what? If we did, I wouldn't be upset, because I love this team. whatever they do I'll roll with it, until I see its not going to work. But the constant TJ threads, bashing the FO for not signing him, or another vet, its just plain ridiculous. we are averaging 2-3 TJ threads a day. its obsessive and excessive.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
