Carolina a potential landing spot for Mebane?

[klumme]

The Giants tendered him. Of course they want him. Try again.

Hawks tendered Mebane.. Try again.

Mebane is not that great and is on top on the list because there aren't many good guys out there.

Are you related to him or what. You seem to be beating the drum for a talent that isn't really that good. And no he wouldn't be an uograde over Landri. No need to waste money on a guy a mediocre team doesn't even want,

He would absolutley be a upgrade over Landri. He had a down year because of missed games and a nagging calf injury. He had really good season back in2008 and never repeated it, but still played consistnely well over the years since. And is both good in the run and pass.

As just been said...Seahawks tendered Mebane. Nice fail.

[The Saltman]

Well unless we have a full season of 2010 rules all that is pointless.

All of you need to try again.

Williams didn't have a good year in 2010. He had a career low in sacks and was not his normal dominant self. So yes Williams has been a better player but wasn't last year.

Williams had more tackles this year than in 2009 when he got an All-Pro selection, but made the Pro Bowl. Sacks are in no way the sole factor in evaluating DTs. Landri's stats were inflated from being on the field for so long. You have to be delusional to think he was better than Williams last season.

"Insane in the Mebane... INSANE IN THE BRAIN!"

Oh god...lol

Could you go back in the thread and show where I was "beating the drum"?

I just thought your reasoning was off by putting such a heavy emphasis on stats especially a single year. Stats are fun to mess around with but they rarely bring clarity to a field as chaotic as football.

If Landri is a better or comparable player to Mebane then it should not be based on the fact that 43 is a bigger number than 31. There needs to be more correlation and it isn't there.

Personally I'm on the Coefield bandwagon as it makes more sense overall.

TO say you would consider anytthing else but the numbers as most important is ridiculous to me. I have folks who work for me whose job is to sell programs to families. If they came to me saying they did a great job but the results of their sales were totally lacking I would show them them the door. The same is true in any career or sport. The result is what matters and that is measured in stats which comparable numbers based on agreed upon criteria.

THe whole notion that results don't seem to matter is a huddle thing I don't understand. In the rest of the world, results are what matters above all else.

Bottom line is the reports are Seattle isn't going to resign him, i have seem nothing to suggest that is the case with Cofield. Have you?? If not they are the same at all.

No he wouldn't be an upgrade over Landrin and the bottom line is that I pulled Landri's numbers out of the hat because he had better numbers than Mebane not because he was that great. Even if he was an upgrade over Landri that doesn't say much and doesn't justify paying much of anything for him. Still I am not convinced he is an upgrade at all.

[panthers55]

As just been said...Seahawks tendered Mebane. Nice fail.

Difference is that not all players get tendered for the same reason. Johnson was tendered by us and we definitely intend on keeping him. Other guys like Marshall were tendered but we aren't expected to actually sign him, so all tenders are the not the same.

That is the case with Cofield and Mebane. The Giants tendered Cofield and intend to resign him, Mebane by all accounts won't be. But since it didn't cost them anything, they did it anyway.

Landri's stats were inflated from being on the field for so long. You have to be delusional to think he was better than Williams last season.

First of all did Williams make thhe probowl this year?? No. Did he have a great year?? No. Did anyone say Landri was better than Williams?? No. But Landri was more productive this year, the numbers show that.

As for the premise Landri was more productive because he was on the field more, that is totally unproven unless you have find me stats about how many snaps each took this year. (Uptown might have that stat) Landri was a role player and not on the field for every snap. So even though the Panther's defense was on the field, to say Landri was on the field more than Williams is speculation without stats or numbers to back it up.

Then again according to you, who looks at those, after all they don't mean much at all. Funny how you argue against numbers in one sentence and then try and use them to justify yourself in the next one. Either stats matter or they don't. You can't use them just when you want to and ignore them otherwise.

Well the fact that they keep drafting DTs says something. But yes I would think Giants want him back but simply wont pay what he is about to get in FA. And I think that is the exact same reason Seahawks think they cant keep Mebane.

Both clubs want to resign but wont because it is to expensive. So yes I think their situations is very much the same. I am not saying Mebane is just as good as Cofield but only that their situations is the same.

The thing with Mebane is he can play all three downs. Landri can not. That reason alone makes Mebane the better player. But I agree with the Seahawks that he will be to expensive for what he brings and therefore I am not on the sign Mebane wagon.
