please aceboogie when you go to the games you need to tell everybody around you your amazing theories about DG.

 

i already know what you look like so if i see you there i will put my tin foil hat, sit right next to you legs folded in the indian position and listen to you preach to your minions.

 

we're shifting to a culture that values production over sentimentality

 

some fans are having a harder time with it than others it seems

Steve Smith was covered either by a zone defense or man to man coverage with the best corner, but they never rolled coverage his way to help out the corner. In zones he'd be covered by 1 man in whichever zone. A true number 1 with single coverage every single play of every game would get at least 1600+ yards with ease and 10+ touchdowns. While Smitty was covered by the best corner (and he wasn't always, there were plays where Ginn was on the field that they had #1 covering him and even Olsen at times), he was never doubled. Calvin Johnson against single coverage for an entire season would get 3000 yards. It's not like he put up 800 yards against double coverage every game. Megatron puts up twice what Smitty did against double AND triple coverage than Smitty against single. Is it not clear to you that Smitty's getting old and is not a number 1? If we could've kept him for $5m/year and moved him to the slot that would've been perfect, but we couldn't. If we kept him he would've been making $10m+/year. It's what had to be done, though the way it was done was wrong.

Did we try? No

I'm 100% against drafting a defensive player with the first pick and I don't care who it is. We are 4 years in and the talent surrounding Cam Newton has declined every single year. We are already paying him 14.5 in 2015 and that number will only go up. That's like buying a Lamborghini and putting Walmart tires on it. This poo has to stop.

The man stood on the damn podium and said he wanted a WR. He said at the pro bowl he has faith in management to surround him with weapons and we all know what he meant.

What have people been saying all offseason? Gettleman's main goal was to surround Cam Newton with weapons. You can not afford to keep telling Cam to fug off. When Cam doesn't trust his teammates to get the job done, he turns into bad Cam. I don't have faith in Byron Bell as our starting LT or Jerricho Cotchery as our #1 WR that's fuging insane.

We were the #2 defense and one of the worst passing offenses in the league, now we have a down graded wr crew, and a worse oline, and y'all are sitting here discussing take another defensive player?? fug all that noise.

 

I feel your pain. But, if Fuller or Dennard (and maybe even Verrett, to my chagrin) is there, I would bet we would take them if all our top prospects are gone.

In all honesty it depends on who's left and what happens in the other rounds.
