Rivera says Cam wasn't consulted in WR moves

[Fox007]

The offense has actually relied less on Cam each year he's been here. 643 attempts passing/running rookie year, 612 in 2012, and 584 in 2013.

 

I still think Shula needs to use him more and do a better job of using him in general but.....it's Shula.

 

I can't help but be afraid of wasting some dominant defensive years with an empty suit on offense.

[Mr. Scot]

It's not good business when it creates this much of shitstorm.

I seriously doubt they give a rip about message board s--tstorms.

(nor should they)

[Jase]

when you start letting QBs lobby for receivers, you risk ending up with an unholy matrimony of mcnabb-T.O. proportions.

[Mr. Scot]

Why would they consult him?

I'm all for consulting him...

...as soon as he gains a background in scouting and player evaluation.

Till that happens, nope.

[Cary Kollins]

More ammo for the resident drama queens.

I've always agreed with not consulting the athlete when it comes to moves. Then again, if this athlete is who you are going to base your franchise around clearly his opinions arent the final say, but I do believe their opinion should be at least recognized.

Part of the reason we are not picking up a bunch of high priced vet receivers is because we are managing the cap so we can pay Cam a boatload.  Part of why Brady was pissed about Welker was because he restructured with the intent of the team resigning Walker, then they didn't if I remember correctly ( I could have made that up).....  So if Cam wanted to take much less money we would likely give him more consideration on who we pick up at receiver.  I haven't heard that is happening.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't expect them to consult Luke on defensive player decisions either.

Anytime you consult a player, they're pretty much always gonna suggest you build on their side of the ball.

If cutting Smith was purely a football decision, then it was a really dumb decision.

but haven't you heard, luke told thomas davis' wife that he was upset that we don't treat our players nicely and won't want to play here after his contract is up.

[dugbug]

So you don't consult with your franchise qb on who he's throwing the ball to? He deserves better than coming back from vacation to an empty cupboard

Not really

[Mr. Scot]

I'm sure...

Assuming the story is actually true, Luke has only been in the league one year. He'll learn about the business side of the game pretty quick.

In short, you're not in college anymore kid. It's a job now. And the thing about jobs is that sometimes, people get fired.

Great...now we're spreading stories about stories from TD's wife.

I don't consult my employees when I'm terminating one of their peers.

This is no different in my eyes. My job is to steer the ship. It's my neck on the line. I let an employee talk me out of it, then poo hits the fan?

My ass is the one filing for unemployment.
