  1. Some folks are just never satisfied. We go into the season with Ginn, people will scream "WTF? He drops too many passes". We let him go, the same people will scream "WTF? We needed his speed!"
  2. Richardson doesn't decide who stays on the roster. Gettleman and Rivera do. They cut Bersin last year and put him on the practice squad in favor of Norwood. That added him back a few weeks later and deactivated Norwood.
  3. Well, ya know if a rookie doesn't look like a Hall of Famer on his first snap in training camp, he's probably a bust.
  4. Both had issues. No word on either being serious, though.
  5. Actually my first suspect would have been Jeremy himself.
  6. Boy's got big arms. I see he also has the Delhomme tongue thing going.
  7. A good performance in preseason can go a long way toward changing a team's opinion, though.
  8. To complete that analogy, you're only allowed three items and you already have a Chicken Kiev and a Leg of Lamb on your plate, yet you still order the four hamburgers knowing that you won't even get to eat three of them anyway. I'm hungry now.
  9. Only 53 guys make the final roster, and most of those will be players returning from last year. When there are only a few spots available, getting the best players you can for those spots is true "common sense".
  10. As the draft goes on, the quality of the players available gets lower. The equation is simple: One good player and two who won't make the roster means you wind up with one good player. Packaging the picks means you don't waste your time on two guys who weren't going to make it anyway and you wind up with one great player. It's not hard to understand.
  11. Actually his 'wasted resources' comment is exactly right. The choice would be between using three draft picks to get one good player and two who won't make it out of camp versus trading away the two lower picks to move up and get a great player. That's smart management, and smart teams do it all the time.
  12. Actually it's also about the number of spots available on the roster. The reason why we traded up last year was because we didn't have room for nine rookies on an already crowded roster. Same situation applies this year. Someone with team building experience knows that.
  13. Lots of reaches in the first round yesterday. That actually bodes well for us as a good number of quality players fell into the second.
  14. Nah. I'm just not wasting the effort. See, what makes it easy is I don't really have to convince anyone that you're not very bright because enough people already know.
  15. You're not important enough to do that. It was more just a drive by, and an understandable one given that - as is well known - you're hardly ever right about much of anything.
