I would be happy (see isn't that better)

man those two would kill each other. literally.

also, god, stop with the whole "HE WONT SPEND A DIIIMMEE!!!" he has spent money in the past, he will again. No excuse for this shitty season but come on...

When was the last time we signed a big time free agent? I remember one year, we wasted a ton of money on Sean Gilbert and Doug Evans who both sucked. If anything, it must have scared ownership because I remember us being cheap since then and having to get excited when we'd signed washed up talent like Keyshawn Johnson or overrated talent like David Carr. I don't remember big time free agents even visiting us recently.

I know Jerry spend money in the past. Sure. BUT it's been awhile.

We went after some receiver from Seattle who bottomed out. We also went after Ken Lucas. We got Chris Harris. The FO has a history of going out and getting good players when it thinks they're worth the price. I just don't see him as cheap. You can argue the talent evaluation is poor and therefore we don't jump when we should, but I think we have had some great FA signings over the years, that while they may not have cost a ton, show he isn't exactly trying JUST to be cheap... he just sees no reason in spending money without a good reason.

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
