Beane did not call us last minute

Don't you know? How easy it is to pull guys from other teams. Especially if you don't even know if you are going to actually trade your own asset and what you will get for it. 

I mean the difficult thing is to sound like you know everything on a message board using hindsight, we have so many smart people here I cant believe they dont have impactful jobs to do. To come up with names suggesting getting them is a no-brainer, that is hard stuff right there buddy.

1. Seems like it’s pretty easy considering Beane snagged Benji for a measly 3rd and 7th.

Seattle grabbed Duane Brown (a legit LT) for a 2nd and 3rd. Which considering how important that position is, isn’t much of a price to solidify that spot.

2. There were several names that were being dangled at the deadline that would’ve come in and replaced KB nicely.

Donte Moncrief is a free agent after this season and with the Colts going nowhere they were listening on him. 

TY Hilton, Martavis Bryant both are proven deep speed guys that were on the market as well.

There are some real temper-tantrum capable babies on this board, could only imagine how they spend their days when not saying anything in front of a computer.

I spend mine making a lot of money at my “impactful job”. How about you?

Who exactly? The only Wr truly on the market was TY Hilton, and they wanted waaay too much for him.

Kelvin wasn’t truly on the market.   There are 31 teams that all have guys that could be on the market. 

Hilton and Landry both were on the market though.

You spend a lot of time bitching and crying like a bitch on a message board. Sure that is working out great for you. When I see FreeFua I think of a bib, and pacifier and a dirty diaper. And your posts coincide with that.

Thanks for coming around and being the voice of reason here, Jeremy. And, you are correct - it is a hard pill to swallow that we have to give up on a player that had great promise. The fact of the matter is, the Panthers knew of KB's issues when they drafted him. That is why he fell so late in the 1st. But, they thought he would develop and grow out of those issues, but KB only regressed the longer he was here. I will say that the lack of burst and separation is not all his fault. He is not that type of receiver. Having said that, I hope he does well in Buffaloe, but I don't think he is the player they think they are getting.

Will it work for us this year? Maybe, maybe not...but it was still the right move. At 8.5 mil, KB had to be a starter here, but we needed him NOT to be on the field as much. You can't pay a part-time player that much to sit on the bench. As hard as it is to accept, it was time to move on. In the next 8 weeks we can find out if we can roll with the WRs we have or if we need to bring someone else in.

So now Hurney had 24 hours to try and replace Benji with one of the other guys on the market and not 5 minutes.

Hurney is even dumber than I had initially thought.

There's a key flaw to this line of thinking though:

Hurney wasn't looking to replace Benjamin, only to dump him. 

Per Hurney's own statements, he believes getting rid of Benjamin is, by itself, a move to make our receiving corps faster and more effective.

Basically, he believes that trading Benjamin is addition by subtraction. He didn't look for a replacement because he didn't think one was necessary. 

And what does that boil down to? 

That the answer is on the roster.

Martavus Bryant was not on the market. He wants out, but the Steelers specifically said he was not going anywhere. 

Landry is just another possession receiver and we have a bunch of them already.

The only WR worth a crap who was really available is Hilton, and they wanted a first for him.

And Donte Moncrief? Really? Did you just google receivers on the trade block to come up with that one?

 

You are really reaching to find reasons to hate on the coaching staff, the GM and the owners. It is really tiresome, but have at it.

Ah yes the guy who comes into a thread to whine about what the majority of a internet message board has been doing over the last 48 hours calling someone else a mental midget...

Makes sense

*FreeFua* when we didnt pick up Moncrief one minute before the trade deadline:

[Mr. Scot]

Again, you guys are arguing about who he didn't pick up when per Hurney himself he never intended to pick up anybody. 

It's a moot point.
