This has to be posted in the other thread about how Tomlin is putting FAs off...
I clicked on the thread thinking "heh, I wonder if this is Jack just posting a picture of Mel Blount." True story.
I'm sure if Ben has neck surgery and shortly after becomes a free agent, he will take note to ask for less than what Tom Brady is currently...
I'm surprised the report didn't also mention how our D was really old as well, given how behind the times it seemed to be.
How is Moats a better addition than Mitchell?
I just have the feeling that Blount would turn out to be another Keven Barlow. So it's "none of the above" for me.
With absolutely no evidence to support this, it's my opinion that Starks was always going to re-sign with the Packers. As for the other moves......
Could we cut him in camp without penalty?
Is it a case of Moats OR Harrison? Moats seems to me like the kind of signing we did with that former Bengal the other year... completely forget...
Buying his jersey already, Busman?
BOOM!
I suppose I just see the Palmer signing as a different level of FA than, say, Mitchell or Starks. Palmer is no different to the bodies we'll be...
Come on, Jack, not every FA signing is going to be splash. Even the big spenders are picking up one year vet deals like this. If Tomlin was out...
Don't often agree with you, fella, but you're spot on with this one.
MB arguments never die, Jack, they just eventually go to a better place (page 2)! I might be way off, but I think you two are arguing about...
The debates stay much the same - it's kind of reassuring, in a way...
Exactly. Superbowls are won in March.
It doesn't seem out of the question for us... perhaps there was more than money going on? Possiblity of being the no. 2 receiver, perhaps?
Isn't there's also something warped about being so insistent on a coach's failings that you turn anything into evidence for it - even his successes?
I think I stopped at the quote: "Mediocrity doesn't last long in Pittsburgh". Fiction! Chad Scott lasted a fair while.
