Not a big Samuel fan, he's soft, but I'm certainly not opposed to it.
dude's great against the pass, though. not exactly a shut down corner, but QBs don't like throwing towards him. only had 40 targets last year. when the ball was caught, he did an incredible job at stopping the receiver. he was much better than gamble in that regard.

samuel > cromartie, but i'd be fine with either. cromartie could be around for longer and he's got experience working with rivera so he should be familiar with some of the things that they want to do defensively. samuel knows the system from mcdermott and jim johnson who taught both rivera and mcdermott.

Philly just sent Broderick Bunkley(14th overall pick in 06 draft) to the browns for a 5th round choice... Not saying Bunkley is a stud or anything but he's a hell of alot better than the DT's we have currently.

I would have thought the asking price for him would have been higher, maybe the same will be said for Samuel.

Wishful thinking.

wouldnt be surprised either way.

that contract plus a player would be an awful lot to give up.

might just make sense to wait until the demand/price goes down on FAs left on the market and hope for the best.

But then theres the risk we enter the season with Gamble and random bum who probably isn't even as talented as Marshall. If you want something, go get it!

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
