Mr. Wolf

Mr. Dynamite, If Mr. Wolf saw your avatar on his property, he would be persuaded to promptly bust a cap in his ass.

The thing that makes no sense to me, is that of all the teams listed, none of them are trading for Henry to make him their starter. Now, I understand that Fred Taylor and Chris Brown have issues with staying healthy, but for that matter the guy he's behind right now has a completely reconstructed knee. I just don't see why Travis would be willing to sign an extension (which will probably be tantamount to getting a trade done), when he's still going to be brought in as a #2 back.

Say... do any of you know a guy by the name of BILL BRASKY?

According to NFLPA.org, McGahee is only under contract for 3 more years (through the 2007 season). In addition to this, he's represented by Drew Rosenhaus, so you have to figure that if (and seemingly it's more a question of when at this point) he has a big time year, he's going to want to tear up his contract and hold out.

Golly, yes! You don't have to twist Mr. Wolf's arm for FREE RIBS. Gosh knows the last time Mr. Wolf had a good home cooked meal.

Mr. Wolf feels that Corey Simon is the only true fair market value for a Travis Henry. In addition to being fair market value for Travis Henry, Corey Simon will also greatly enhance our front 7.

This reminds Mr. Wolf of a time when... I was making love with Cecilia up in my bedroom. I went to wash my face, but come back to find Mark Cuban had taken my place! Oh Cecilia Mr. Wolf was down on his knees, beggin you please to come home (sing it with Mr. Wolf now *clap* *clap* *clap*) to come hoooome!

I agree with this. I am a big JP supporter and hope that he turns out to be great, but if he struggles, it can't keep this team from the playoffs in '05. Bringing in Holcolmb was a great move, IMO. He's shown he can play decent, and at times very well, and get a team into the playoffs. If we're losing games left and right with JP, Kelly has to take the reigns before it's too late. There's too much talent on this team right now that it's in its prime to waste it. I don't want to wake up one day, only to find JP has finally turned the corner, but Sam Adams and Troy Vincent have retired, Clements has moved on, and Moulds, Spikes and Fletcher are on the downside. I'm convinced that this team, with a decent to good QB, can not just make the playoffs, but contend for a championship right now.

For what it's worth, lets look at the respective resumes of Reed, Monk, and Watters. Andre Reed: 7 consecutive Pro Bowl appearances (1988-1994) Ranks 4th all time in receptions (951) Ranks 6th all time in receiving yards (13,198) Ranks 10th all time in receiving TD's (87) Art Monk: 3 time Pro Bowler (1984-86) Ranks 5th all time in receptions (940) Ranks 9th all time in receiving yards (12,721) Ranks 29th(t) all time in receiving TD's (68) Ricky Watters: Elected to 5 Pro Bowls (1992-96) Ranks 15th all time in rushing yards (10,643) Ranks 15th all time in rushing TD's (78) Ranks 12th all time in total yards from scrimmage I've also added one other component to the comparison: how each of these players performed in playoff games. I've taken their total stats from all of their playoff appearances and divided them into the number of playoff games they appeared in to represent a statistical average playoff game for each player. Here are the results: Andre Reed: 4.47 receptions, 64.7 yds (avg. 14.5 yds) 0.47 TD's Team: 10-9 in playoffs Ricky Watters: 60.6 yards rushing (avg. 3.8 yds) 3.7 receptions for 41 yds (avg. 11.08 yds) 1.09 TD's Team: 6-5 record in playoffs Monk: 4.6 receptions, 70.8 yds (avg. 15.4 yds) 0.47 TD's Team: 10-5 record in playoffs For what it's worth, those are the numbers I came up with. You can argue there's more than just pure stats involved in electing players to the hall of fame, but looking at the on field production I'd have to say of the 3 players in question here, Andre has the most impressive production on the field, and if you're even considering Monk or Watters, Reed has to be in. Though I'm a Bills fan, it's hard to see an objective argument that a WR elected to 7 consecutive Pro Bowls and ranking in the top 10 all time in all major statistical categories at his position, isn't a virtual lock for the Hall. Of all the WR's who have EVER played in the NFL... only 3 have caught more passes than Andre!

IMHO, a lot of it depends on what our roster looks like on opening day. I think Donahoe will still make a move or two to bolster the roster.

I'm with you. I want us to get Corey Simon. If we can land him for Henry and a late rd. pick, what a coup it would be! And then come June... Red Rover Red Rover, send Ty Law right over. Oooooo-WEEEEE! would we have a defense!

JP will be an above average QB it sounds like. Please tell your lovers and friends that Mr. Wolf had to do it agaaaaiiin! Please tell your lovers and friends that Mr. Wolf had to do it agaaaaiiin!

No doubt about that. For all of his downfalls, Drew's arm strength is amongst the finest of all time. When he has the time to sit back there he can effortlessly flick his wrist and send a perfect spiral to the opposite end of the field and hit a receiver in perfect stride. If JP is anywhere near that talented at it, he'll be far ahead of the game.

Mr. Wolf's sentiments exactly! This thread is like being foreplayed and then not getting any action.

The PT Cruiser with wood trim is the bomb diggity. That's the ride that Mr. Wolf rolls in.
