  1. "Per PFF, Gilmore rated out as the 79th best cornerback in the NFL in 2012." Cue the PFF sucks chorus....your serve, Pre-Snap Read's Cian Fahey.
  2. I actually like Gilmore, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned with some of the things I have seen out of him. I'm not at the point where I think he is as good as some others think, but I could and hope I do get there.
  3. I think the exact opposite is at play sometimes - people can't bear the thought of whiffing on another top 10 pick so they will not/cannot admit he has looked downright awful out there at times. I could care less where he was picked. Based on draft position alone we should have the best secondary around in McKelvin and Gilmore, but we don't.
  4. So do you think he played good today? How about those "closer to the game"? I think this guy has been burned more than you realize or care to admit.
  5. Yeah, I've seen enough of Gilmore too to know he is not one of the "best in the league". No I'm not changing my opinion, which is based on what I see, not what I wish for since he was drafted so high. He still has the chance as a 2nd year player to develop some more consistency in his game, but I'm not optimistic.
  6. I'm afraid we have another Ronnie Jones situation on our hands. BTW, Crossman wasn't exactly highly regarded coming from Detroit.
  7. Classic! Sorry guy, Gilmore is no shut down corner. Pre-season, injury - keep 'em coming.
  8. Not snarky at all. Go back and watch his performance against the Redskins. If you can still say he was having a GREAT pre-season, then we won't likely agree on CB analysis. Hint: he was worse than Rogers in that game. Watch the games and come to your own conclusion. Don't blindly follow the crowd.
  9. Agree on Hogan. He has looked horrible on the admittedly few opportunities he's had. Can't understand why they don't give Easley a chance. I don't know - last game we saw Gilmore he was beaten like a rented mule by a QB who is not even in the league right now.
  10. That's what they'll have to do if they really want him. Minny reports their coach and GM have spoken with Freeman, and supposedly giving him the recruiting pitch. Can Whaley/Marrone out recruit them? Do they want to?
  11. I'm only thinking Flynn if Freeman goes to the Raiders and they cut him. New lower contract and no picks. Hey, it's better than Pat White IMHO.
  12. I like your first 2 choices. My fear, however, is that the front office does not want to bring in anyone who might pose a threat to EJ once he gets back. IMHO, the first 2 on that list would be breathing down his neck.
