What makes you think this is improbable?

I thINk all skepticism is warranted until he shows what he can do in the regular season. Did any of us expect outsiders to be excited about Tyrod Talor?

Haha, good one.

How does this prove RB's are a dime a dozen?

You're absolutely right - I figured just showing you can get Wilson or Romo in the same range of where Joique Bell falls would make my point - thanks for adding to it. There's more talented QB's 1-15 than there are RB's 1-15. I know you agree, but speaking to Observers' post - RB's are definitely not a dime a dozen. I'd say they are the second hardest commodity to find behind CB.

I could not disagree more and the stats do too. The top passing QB for yards last year was Brees at 4,952 the 15th QB was Wilson at 3,475 The top yards RB last year was Murray at 1,845 the 15th RB was Joique Bell at 860 You don't see a bigger drop in they type of player you get?

I get it but unless they are actually not being signed because they are suspended and teams are waiting until they're not - it isn't really a punishment. Not an easy policy to write because as you say - you don't want to ruin their career.

Good point. Seems as though the suspension should start if/when they get signed.

Whoever voted C or below is a complete psycho.

It won't matter - we'll miss Fred's pass blocking twice per game and be in shambles.

It's not genius for sure - but it's another brick on the foundation that Whaley is a capable GM. It is much easier to negotiate after someone's cut and it's also fair to say he could have signed elsewhere and his agent surely tried or could have tried. Whaley clearly knew his value and understood the market - because of this Whaley brought him back on his terms - and if it wasn't on his terms would have let him walk. He executed this perfectly.

Look man I'm not trying to be too ugly but your opinion of how Darby's first year is to the extreme of negativity. What about that he'll be playing behind one of the consensus top 3 defensive lines in all of football and an excellent corner on the other side? Do you not think our front 7 and the fact he'll be playing against every teams second best WR should help? Do you not think that Rex Ryan who's defenses have ranked 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 11th, 6th since being a head coach might be able to help a young corner not get "taken to the woodshed"? "What little I've seen" - enough said ".. he has NO ball awareness" - none, really? ".. will get burned by taller, more savvy WR's" - he's 5'11" with longer arms than Gilmore - not exactly short for a corner. "All we can do is hope ... he becomes a serviceable corner" - Well I guess we'll see if all the factors involved lend to a bit more than hoping.

You're right because any other team could have signed him.

Whaley is so good at what he does and clowning you haters. Some of us just not ready to accept how capable our organization is now.

Oh give me a break. When posts are made to draw attention to someones uneducated pessimism issues they should be called out. Who is he to predict such a specific failure of a player when we have one of the great defensive coaches in the last decade?

I just can't believe the early results. I mean the initial sting should have worn off by now. I'm embarrassed that we're not smarter fans than this.

Has to be the silliest post I've read in a while. Not so much because of how stupid the comments are but that you tried so hard to make it seem smart.

Prisco - A sanctuary columnist.

Saints - 6-10

They would be forced to cut him and draft one.

Next year will be the tough year if we get Bradham and Dareus done. I guess Harvin, restructuring Mario and Clay, then losing players like Wood / Mckelvin / Kyle might be needed to get Gilmore and Glenn to stay.

I do no think they have the kind of defense to stop us to 10 points.

I predict it will be a close game.

Yes - got the wrong person

Doesn't surprise me teams would call about him. He's got plenty of upside and he's skilled enough to be a starter.
