Trade Deadline Moves, News, and Speculation

[Soul Rebel]

I don't want to disrupt chemistry, but Ginn has dropped several passes with nothing but the endzone in front of him. It doesn't hurt as bad against JAX and IND, because we won.  However, in January, those drops cannot happen, and I don't think it's fixable on the fly. It sucks bc Ginn has had his best years here in Carolina and continuously gets separation from good corners. It's not the rest of the personnel that concerns me (though lack of pass rush does), but if we have the chance to add a Garcon/Jeffrey/Floyd without hurting our cap long-term (Norman, Short) then I think we should pull the trigger. 

Cam is having a phenomenal year and has improved his touch and deep ball, as well as his patience and progressions. SB windows are usually small, and at 7-0, if we need a more sure-handed WR to help this offense, I'm okay with it.  Conversley, if it doesn't happen, I'm not losing sleep over it..... I just think that the unit of Ginn/Brown/Cotchery isn't the kind of group that marches through the playoffs to Levi's Stadium.

They must've been out of the "piss mediocrity" shirts in his size

So that's why he's always out of excellence. He pissing it out.

Browns want:

A 1st round pick + more for Joe Thomas

A 3rd round pick for Alex Mack

A 3rd round pick for Barkevious Mingo

 

They aren't getting that and LOL at a 3rd for Mingo. I guess when someone gives you a 1st for Trent Richardson your expectations can get skewed.

I get the whole "lets not mess with team chemistry" philosophy but come on, Ginn almost cost us the game. I saw somewhere that we have over 15 total drops in the last 3 games. Our WRs are bad, really bad. I honestly don't care if we make a trade or not because I know Gman doesn't have many options but we need to stop this bullshit were we act like our WRs are fine. They are not. 

So do we replace Gano since he almost lost us the game as well have missed other crucial points in this season as well .....?

Why the hate for Sparks?  She did awesome.

Maybe he's kidding? She was great.

Hard to blame them though. They finally have a decent squad and no reason to trade any centerpieces of it unless you get an overpay.

We should trade Jordin Sparks, a terrible anthem singer, for Taylor Swift. Could breathe new life to this team.

Taylor Swift is wack

Knew it wouldn't go well for the guy that made that comment originally.

Ugh. I can't believe he missed that extra point...and of course it ends up being hugely important. But he came through in the clutch and nailed overtime. Bomb squad did work last night.

7-0

 

 

Why make any trades? 

even the best maintained engines need to replace a part here or there to stay that way

[mc52beast]

Don't bet your house because you believe Getty will pull off a trade, the team is 7-0 and the fans are happy... watch out though when we lose in the playoffs because our receivers have fumble fingers

Whatever happened to Norwood?

Is he just not picking up the playbook quick enough?

I hope we didnt waste a draft pick. This guy needs to crack the lineup.

He's probably just not very good. There's a reason a team with terrible WR's was willing to trade him.
