I'm not sure where people are getting that he is trashing his team. Notice there are no quotes of him saying he is not convinced that this years passing game won't be good as last years. That is what the writer wrote down. I believe a lot of people on the team were shocked when Smith got let go and rightfully so. I just never seem to get the D WIll hate that goes on sometimes. It is his fault for making good money? If I was in the same spot as him, I wouldn't even blink at the thought of taking a paycut. You have to get the money while you can. With that being said, It is not position to worry about how much "so and so" makes. I could careless. I leave the money issues up to the front office. I am a fan of my team and I will always root for the product on the field, even in hard times ( if you could only see me in 2010 lol).

 

Take the money and run...got no problem with that. But don't wonder (out loud) what the team is doing when they have no money to bring top FA WRs when so much money is tied up in the RB postion...your postion.

Again, what does deangelo or his correct have to do with our moves at the WR position?

To think the two are linked implies that someone believes money is the reasoning for the moves we've made, which is just as silly as ridiculing someone for taking millions of dollars when offered to them

 

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make here.  But to think that our cap situation, partially caused by having two massive RB contracts on the books, isn't influencing our receiver moves then you are not paying attention.

Most people don't realize in order to run the ball effectively you need a good oline or a damn good scheme, we have neither. You can put Leseasn McCoy back there it won't matter. Watch the Eagels, he runs through wide open holes. You also need legitimate threats at WR, if they don't fear the pass its 8 or 9 in the box and you ain't running against that.

I'm sorry but you don't put that much money into one guy if he can't do anything without linemen creating wide open holes. If that's how you run the ball with success, then deangelo shouldn't even have been playing here since 2011, which is exactly the point I've been making the last three years!

Why would it be influenced by the cap? What does the cap have to do with which players you sign and retain?

I thought posters stopped falling for that management bargaining chip propaganda about the time the saints dished out massive dollars to one of the best players available this offseason

And you'll also find a better oline/scheme. 

 

wait

 

so if we found a better oline/scheme than dwill would be better? HOLY poo why didn't i think of that?

 

i dunno probably because if i drafted a RB in the 5th or 6th round he could still post similar production with a better oline/scheme and be the fraction of the cost.

 

then buddy, we could use that money to bring in a FA that you have been bitching and crying about all offseason.

Just because you play on an NFL team doesn't mean you know how to run one or put together one that can win a championship.

 

Coaches coach, players play, and GM's put together the team.  I expect Gettlemen could play running back about as well as D-lo could gernal manage an NFL team.

And another thing is that even though he's being underpaid and it affects his game more directly, we don't hear cam newton bitching about the front office. Instead, the biggest albatross on the team is wondering why the FO can't corral a receiver.

...and some people wonder why Williams isn't a very popular guy on these boards. I mean technically Stewart is an even bigger waste of money long term, but at least he isn't complaining

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
