    FWIW, I think Wilson can do Queen's job. I just don't think he can be the thumper in the D.

    But I heard today that the proposed return is like a 5th. For that, I'm keeping Queen. Even if he doesn't keep the starting job.

    I'd trade Queen... hopefully for at least a 4th rounder (would the Eagles make that deal?)... and I'd push hard to sign FA Leo Chenal, who is young and, I think, better than Queen, and should come cheaper.

    I think Tomlin had more than 10 of Cowher's players.

    I am actually surprised that Leo has yet to be contacted by any team. Among the players I expected to go get signed immediately, Chenal was among the top players on my list.

    Yea those guys both have pretty rough injury histories so we will see. Not sure you can count on either.

    i wouldn't mind seeing them go after bobby okereke. can cover, force fumbles and tackle well.

    as for dowdle, he's a pretty good receiver as well. i don't think we lose that part of the game much. :cool:

    Pickens was good but he was not a all-pro when he was with the steelers....Too often he wasn't used enough as a weapon with us

    Rodgers is more mobile than Cousins.

    I would rather have Geno Smith than Cousins, but I still think AR is coming back.

    The weird thing to me is the Falcons have 2QBs that haven't shown they can stay healthy for a season in Penix and Tua, yet they let Cousins go. I don't think any of those options is great. But what are they doing? I would have kept Cousins like a Flacco vet in the QB room just in case. They were talking about this on the radio this morning so I'm not the only one confused with the Falcons moves.

    I guess they wanted out from under his salary because he did a decent job last year. Based on numbers anyway. 5-3, 10 TDs, 5 int. One game he threw for almost 400 yards and 3 TD’s.

    I was thinking he was much worse than that but was probably remembering his first season back from achillies injury where he was horrid.

    And what most won't say, Tomlin kept 6 of Cowher's coaches.
