Growl

I would rather reach for an OT then count on Michael Oher And Gettleman can clamor all he likes about going "BPA" because it's a cool nfl thing that the cool guys say but he's depended on the draft to fill needs both years he's been here (and is apparently working on the 3rd)

Ted Ginn fills a need on special teams Saying Ted Ginn fills a need on offense is silly

Bro ted Ginn we're good there

Having bodies isn't "filling a need" We aren't, or it should utterly horrify you if we are , simply trying to get 53 guys on the roster. We should be trying to field a team that is better than Seattle, New England. We shouldn't be trying to hold water. We should be trying to be the best. Michael Oher isn't addressing a need. Ted Ginn isn't addressing a need.

I would be content with waiting for the draft to add another receiver prospect if the extent of our offseason busy work wasn't seemingly limited to resigning our own aging players who weren't exactly conference champs last year anyways. We have other areas that need to be addressed and the first two rounds of the draft aren't quite going to be enough to touch up on it all.

I stopped reading when you insinuated that each of those teams aren't active offseason players every single year. That's just a blatant lack of football knowledge, I'm sorry to tell you.

Lol this is like saying we shouldn't try to find another pass rusher because "Charles Johnson and Kawann Short had enough sacks last year!!" Olsen isn't the one who needs to be replaced. I'm assuming, or at least hoping, you're smart enough to understand that. That argument falls apart when looked at critically. Nice try though! The insult even made it seem like it was really high brow too!!

Cute cliche', but all it says is that the teams that are ran well identify the proper talent and become annually dominant, the teams whose staff don't have an eye for talent spend money poorly on poor talent, and the teams that do neither wallow in their mediocrity, occasionally having a good year but mostly just finishing 7-9 or 7-8-1 every other year while their fanbase slowly begins to accept the mediocrity while accepting every outdated cliche' on team philosophy it's management churns out because it sounds real good

Why don't you stop talking then

Lol at people who desperately run to the Packers to try and back this stance.I know that's it's tough to find teams that back the stance of penny pinching greed the team has shown over the year, but let's at leat avoid this argument because it's a strawman that bursts into flames when you look at the leagues best teams Let's do a list of big time teams who are active in free agency every single year New England (reigning Super Bowl champions, 6 Super Bowl appearances with current philosophy) Seattle Seahawks (Two time conference champions, Super Bowl Championship last season) Denver Broncos ( perennially deep post season contenders, Super Bowl appearance last season) San Francisco 49ers (have consistently been one of league's most stacked teams, recent Super Bowl appearance, 3 straight conference championship appearances) Indianapolis Colts (young team, consistently great, consistently make deep postseason runs without fluking in with a losing record) The notion that we're "doing it the way it's meant to be done!" because you can isolate a team that oh so coincidentally has the best quarterback in the game is a laughable argument. Guess what? We're doing it wrong, and until management is willing to finally give up on stop trying to be the 70's Steelers and actually try and be a dominant, desperate, bold contender in today's game, we will stay where we are at.

Who bumped the Tiquan underwood thread

We were actually more expecting someone who falls into the "Had More Than Three Catches" tier.

So, when you consider all the other areas we are weak as well, we can take this mean that Gettleman's plan is to go 7 for 7 on this year's picks. I feel like there's a modicum of risk involved there

There's this dark part of me that thinks that Gettleman hates to sign players who receive interest from other teams because he likes to show how "crafty" he is. While I know that's not true, I do think it's absolutely true that Gettleman and his apparent 1995 outlook on free agency doesn't know how to respond when other teams start offering potential targets more than the 36 cents per/ he was planning on offering them. I can't help but wonder if he's just out of touch with the current market.

This team doesn't deserve this fanbase.

Watching the "it's just March!" Crowd predictably start to sweat come July is one of the most revealing moments of the Huddle year.

Let's have gif thread where we post Cam's reaction when news of our first free agency target broke

This is exactly the problem.

So many quality options were available at that position and this is the guy we spent the first day of FA courting. Disheartening, is really the only way to put it.

You spelled any of the other 31 teams you may have meant wrong. That word looks like Panthers.

Man Detroit got Ngata (plus a 7th) for dirt cheap. 4th and 5th. The Panthers are likely going to have to make a similar move if they want to compete next year, especially now that they are apparently content to let every but of talent in FA go elsewhere.

NFLN just reported that all of the contracts Indy dished out to these proven players are short so that they will be able to sign their young players when the time comes It's a shame that the NFL isn't allowing us to do that

Yeah mr scot I've already said the fluke playoff appearance we made last year don't impress me and shania much so let's just stop beating that drum
