So... any Tuesday of the month I can show up at BOA and have just as much of a shot as a Donnie Avery?

Cool...

I'm 55 years old, 6'6" 260 lbs and in very good health. And I'd look a hell of a lot better running across the field with one of those giant flags than those fat boys doing it now...

I think I have seen you. Do you take your dog out for a walk with your shirt off and some short cut off jorts?? If so....nice.

couple reasons beyond the narrow-minded "hurney SUX!!!!" thoughts...

1) he just isn't as good as advertised and isn't an upgrade over what we have (despite the hate for naanee)

2) he would rather go play for a team that he would be getting more targets...like the titans. britt being out for the season means that there will be more balls to catch than here where it's a pretty crowded field of receivers.

3) he wasnt very impressive in his workout, despite cat growl's vast knowledge

Hurney took one look at his resume' and said "A legitimate number two Receiver? Screw that. You know how much I hate those. Besides, this guy has done way too much. Let's sign Sucky McSuckson, the UDFA the Browns just cut. He was a guy we really liked coming out of Eastern Kansas Tech A&M of Northern Kansas last year. I can't begin to imagine why he hasn't been signed to a multi year deal, but man are we lucky."

:iagree:

If we had signed him, I'd be all for it but I don't think it was a make or break decision. I like what we've seen from LaFell so far. Of all our "needs" WR has to be near the bottom. With Smitty, Olsen, Shockey, Stewart and Lafell all proving to be reliable pass catchers so far this year I don't think we really need someone like Avery. If we're going to sign anyone it should probably be some defensive guys (if the opportunity arises to get a playmaker) with the way we're losing players left and right to injury.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
