that is what we did last year
how did that work out when our #1 WR was Walt Powell??? BARF
We need legit NFL WR's as starters and depth, not the black hole that currently exists after both of our injured starters
if we lowballed him with some silly offer I will be pissed
a clear chance to upgrade our poor WR corp and we low ball?
Hoping this regime isnt dumb
Still hoping he is just doing due diligence
But I am deflated
ok then that might not always be an option haha...if that was truly the time he was signed/knew about minicamps that may have been his only option
however...first flight out of chicago to buffalo monday morning, no problem...in pads and stretching by 9
I'm not weighing in on Fred or Not-To-Fred, only with the bolded comment here..
how exactly are we deep at the position? We have Shady, JWill and then nothing, correct?? A bunch of FB's that I dont think we want to be a change of pace back OR a feature back (if injury)
there are literally ALWAYS seats from chicago to buffalo, ALWAYS...both chicago airports are one of the main hubs that flights from buffalo and vice versa stop at...if you dont believe it, try to book a flight daily at various times for the next week, I guarantee you will always find a flight option same day
yea we get it, you lift bro, so you eat a lot bro, good for you : )
I do cardio and eat like a rabit during the week because I drink beer and eat like sh!t on weekends
I am not hoping he is GREAT
I am hoping he is better than the trash heap/"maybe's" that make up the current depth chart on our roster at WR
He is a proven talent in the NFL that would come relatively cheap, provide production and LEADERSHIP...we must get this done
Holmes has done exactly what in his career? Brown has done exactly what in his career? Sure there might be some upside with both of these guys, but I would certainly not want either of them starting as #1, #2 or #3 on my NFL offense...
Yea they were in cap hell and chose to keep other core players instead (Berry, Houston), and have someone they think can replace Maclin in Hill...its quite clear why they chose to part ways with Maclin and it has nothing to do with on or off field performance
??? upgraded with what? A draft pick who is already injured?
I have high hopes for Zay Jones, and hope his injury is indeed extremely minor. But after two injured WRs we have exactly ZILCH at the position. Maclin signing takes this WR corp from "below average" to "above average" NFL roster/depth...we NEED to sign Maclin or someone like Decker to even feel good about going into this season at the position
I believe he is saying he is NOT a one trick pony a-la Mike Wallace/Goodwin type...he can run route tree, and has not been exclusively used as a deep threat only WR
im certainly with you there, I would have been fine using our first this year on Mahomes while still keeping TT
Need to solidify the position at all costs
Having Maclin here will help whoever is under center/in the shotgun formation (bringing the thread back to Maclin!!!)
ok gotcha...yea he will be a FA, Brees, Rivers...there will be options for other QB needy teams, and we can draft ours
Unless TT has a stellar year, im not betting on it, but its not out of the realm of possibilities
I'm not saying they didnt get their player, I'm saying tanking doesnt work very well in the NFL - EVEN if you get the player you want. It is hard to win in the NFL and even getting your franchise QB doesnt guarantee anything
I hope your talking about some other team and not us
A) the Pats wont trade him in division
B) why would we want him? what has he ever done? of course he would have some success in spot starts in the Patriots system, I could go play QB there and put up respectable numbers (and I dont even have any arms)
