The biggest mistake JR can make is leaving $$ on the table.

man... i really didn't think we were going to end up in the Joseph sweepstakes, especially with Cromartie and Rogers still out there

but when Clayton said there was going to be news last night, and then nothing... have to admit, i hoped hurney got a last minute word in with Joseph

can't wait for news to start pouring in today

[PantherBrew]

That is true of any position and hardly a reason to not sign talent.

wut?

Throwing money at the "best" free agents is not a winning strategy.

It all depends on how they fit our scheme.

I had this thought as well!

[JawnyBlaze]

If we could sign Joseph, I would be more than happy with the way FA worked out for us regardless of what vet QB we sign.

[GotSwag?]

qb - newton - clausen

rb - double trouble and goodson

fb - fiametta

wrs - smith, lafell, gettis, hawaiian dude, edwards

te - shockey, barnidge, hartSUCK

ol - Gross, Wharton, Kalil, ?, Otah

de- cj, hardy, brown, brayton

dt - edwards, 2 rooks

lb core(one of the best) - Beast, TD, Anderson, Connor

cb - Gamble, Cpt, Burney, several others

safeties - martin and godfrey (both played decent last year)

We have a tough schedule but im expecting around 8-8. TOO much talent not to unless you have a injury filled season like last. Im another one that LOL at ppl who think this team had 2-14 talent last year.

We essentially have pro bowler at RB, WR, TE, LT, C, RT, DE, MLB, OLB, and CB. Not saying they will, but they have that talent. You can say the same thing about a lot of teams in the league sure, but their is mad talent on this team. Its all up to Cam on how far we go. Hes got the pieces around him.

Best talent based on ESPN's opinion?

I hope that Marty's and Rivera's free agent strategy isn't based on John Clayton's best available FA's

[Happy Panther]

Yes I trust the front office to evaluate talent. If they decide that neither Joseph or Rogers fit into our CB system (which is very weak) then we fail.

[rayzor]

if not joseph then carlos rogers or chris carr. cromartie ,even.

[Happy Panther]

agree

[Sword]

you build through the draft not overpriced free agents...we have brandon hogan and kendrick burney to try and evaluate this year..if we can get another CB on the cheap sure, but they aren't going to make us world beaters themselves.

or...

and this may seem crazy...

you bring in some talent to play while the young guys develop.

We need that at both QB and CB

This has been our strategy for 16 years and we have had a winning season exactly 4 times.

Maybe its time to try something different

that's all great but that's the fox era motto, starting the vet fa's over rookies and inexperienced players and they may not even be any better then them.

I think the FO is trying not to overbloat their salary cap number with high priced FA's, but with players they know and trust.
