One Teams Trash Isn't Our Treasure.

Guys, there still alot of time left before teams have to make cuts to get down to 53 players. Teams cutting players now only means there is something wrong with them, injuries etc or there would be no point in them being cut. Do we need 300 threads on bringing in every injured player/scrub being cut right now?

But..... but..... but, could you imagine a receiving core made up of Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco, Plaxico Buress, and Jordan Shipley? Just saying, they all could have been ours this off season.

Would we have been better off this year? Yeah, probably so. But, you're not trying to go for quick over the hill veteran bandaids when you have a superstar 23 year old QB. We need to build around Cam for the next decade, not go for quick fixes.

I am starting to believe in Norman (I hope I don't get a big "Psyche!" once the season starts), so perhaps I'd do a little bit of leisurely dumpster diving for a defensive tackle who could get some pressure on the inside from the inside, but I don't believe any will be falling out of the sky into BOA anytime soon. Other than that, I am ready for our team to take the bull by the horns and go for what it knows. As for all the FA threads, I just think that the people who make them, and the people that react to them, should just relax.

You may not find a pro bowl starter at this point being cut but you can find decent roleplayers that can improve the depth of a team, because there are many players that perform better in one system than another.

this. this is the time of year when these threads are the most pertinent, IMO. not only are you looking at guys who are being let go from other teams because they have such depth, but you're looking at your own guys who might be second or third string but are completely lacking by comparison to other guys available.

take a team with depth at a certain position... like us at wide receiver. we are constantly mulling over the possibility of having to cut somebody really good, like pilares and even gettis' name has been thrown around (by idiots, i confess.) if we could ****** up a pilares-caliber player at any position we're lacking for depth we'd be doing really well for ourselves. this is one of the strengths of our scouting department, i believe... picking through guys with a fine tooth comb and finding out who can contribute to the team as role players.

bring on the what-if threads.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
