This is the 4th damn thread currently on this topic. Let's recap: 1. No credible source says a deal is in the works; 2. The Raven's say they are not shopping him; 3. He's injured; 4. Many of us think he's a lazy malcontent; 5. Many of us think he's a top 5 LT; 6. Some of us think he's worth a #2 pick and more; 7. Some of us don't; 8. Some think the deal is close; 9. Some think the whole thing has been BS from the start. That should cover 90% of the posts, so please - let's stop starting Gaither trade threads!

Maybin < Batten........yikes.

I think that sums it up pretty well.

Whatever, it's still Peter King and at last check, we hate him, but we like this idea that he is "promoting" from his devil's den in New England.

Long post, but well thought out. I happen to agree and fully expect to see TE under center against Miami. Actually I'm really intrigued to see how much a competent offensive coach can improve TE's performance by playing to his strengths. I also fully expect TE to get knocked out of a game by mid year after Wang or Bell whiff against a speed rush or someone misses against a blitz. Despite it all, I'm pumped for what's to come.

Another thread reporting Gaither is injured. Let's just face it, this is not going to happen. Buddy thinks Wang and Bell can do the job.

Foot problems are a bear. I'm the middle of recovering from foot surgery now and it takes forever to be able to use it like you used to. No clue what injury Gaither has but the pounding your feet take at LT has got to be brutal. I think this injury report will be a good excuse as any for the FO to stay away from Gaither. I think Buddy believes that Wang and Bell can do the job and he won't sink a ton of money or give away high picks for a top performer now. This is a rebuilding year and that's what we have to all understand - like it or not.

I lost my tally sheet, but I think your right. We hate Peter King.....but we like this idea, despite it coming for Peter King, so the idea overshadows the man. That work?

Don't confuse a good b*tch session with facts! You're absoulutely right and like it or not folks, them's the facts.

Dubious at best, but what the Hell, there's not a lot going on let's play. What does the Board think of the reported price tag for Gaither?

Met one. Same dog but half sized. The dog has no idea it is smaller. Has the same good nature and lack of fear. Great city dog!

Well, my dog could walk through a wall but is a really Pu**y when it rains. Looks fierce but not so much in a down pour.

I have a Bull Terrier (Target & Spuds McKenzie) also a chick magnet and one that is often asked "Hey, why the long face?" They're pretty steady in the wind.

We should have a avatar draft.

You gotta have Erik Flowers in there.

I'd go with that but his prayers weren't answered!

I agree. It's best not to smoke him out. He's always come through. We should have a NGU bat-signal type of light to let him know when he (could be a she as well) is needed.

I just think it's a clear sign from Buddy that Maybin wasn't his pick. And yes, a number one pick should be starting. If Maybin = Batten, he won't be on the squad. We should know soon enough. I don't think we need three years to evaluate this guy.

Because Peters was fat, out of shape and played like it. Plus he didn't want to be here and would have been a pain in the *ss in the locker room.

Sorry then. Just seemed harsh and I'm tired of all the disrespect on this board, especially after the Tim Graham fiasco. Didn't mean to add to it!

Hey with New Orleans and Pittsburgh on the list we're in good company. National writers are overly impressed with "name" signings and are agog with Jets and Phins. I think they will be surprised this year. The writer did like Chan however.

+1 Adams would be great insurance in case the young guys aren't ready.

Not always. A LT usually is more athletic and quick than a RT or guard. They aren't the maulers with the straight-ahead power of the rest of the OL.

I don't abide factory farming. I shoot my own venison (the ultimate free range speed beef) buy organic and invest yearly in a quarter of a grass feed cow for meat. So how does that make Vick any less of a bastard dog torturer and killer POS? If you want to preach against animal abuse I'm with you. But don't use a "we're all as bad as Vick" argument!
