What do you mean we now need a move @ sg? Did they announce something? We're destroying these guys.
-
And now Rose has to sit.
-
I know it's not under his control but I hate when a guy can't stay healthy. Stop getting injured dammit.
-
If all else is equal I'm sure VJax would choose to play with Cutler. But the Skins may just overpay to tip the scales.
-
It sure seemed more on the "dumb" side than the "having fun" side to me....
-
We just beat them in their building. Who's worried?

Colston reeks of Muhsin Muhammad for me. Colston is a few years younger than Moose was when the Bears signed him, but Colston has had several knee surgeries. A 29-year old, with a knee history, coming from the most prolific passing offense of all time....I just think he's going to fail to live up to expectations. I'd rather go after Vincent Jackson, if the Bears are going after someone beyond 27. I wouldn't hate signing Colston, because it's obviously a huge need and he'd clearly be the best WR on the roster. But I wouldn't expect more than 2 solid years from him before he becomes overpaid. He seems like quality, but only because we are in such a bad position. I agree. He might be a decent signing for us, but if we truly want to turn the tables on our WR situation we would need to shoot higher.

top 5 running back? saying it doesn't make it so. and i'm not understanding the difference between being replaceable and not being that good. forte is not close to being a top 5 running back so he shouldn't be paid like it. being "not that good" could absolutely mean that someone is replaceable. it could also mean that forte isn't as good as people think he is compared to other running backs and not worthy of a huge long-term deal. that's not a huge stretch in logic. the idea that he is replaceable means that his numbers and production could be found easily elsewhere. hence, he's not that good. He's harder to judge because pure running isn't really where he shines. It's more the total yardage he produces in the offense, particularly the pass catching. I definitely agree he's replaceable. I like the franchise tag, and I think the likelihood he won't be franchised a 2nd year is relatively high. I'm all for not having strings attached when it comes to Forte. Don't sign him longterm.

Week of 3/4-3/10 Spring Training Game Thread
Soul replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Violation: statement not allowed until after the 9th inning of opening day. -
Yep. Very nice.
-
Well, we're winning after 2. And beating Detroit in Detroit is extraordinary. So as of right now, I'm liking where we are at. Just need to play 1 solid period against a good team.
-
Hah. 8.5 for the reference.
-
He didn't destroy the Patriots for SpyGate and that was straight up cheating so I dunno what he'll do to the Saints, but obviously with the NFL so concerned lately with concussions and all that the punishment definitely won't be light. Yeah, I think they'll be punished more because it put other players at serious risk. Although, I doubt the Saints invented this.... It sounds like the NFL is trying to get ahead of the story, issuing statements and hinting at potential punishments. I'll bet there were other teams doing something similar.

Known Liar&Cheater Ryan Braun Caught Lying&Cheating Again

Well I was too lazy to do any research, but I suspected something like this would be the case. -
WILL NOT LET THEM COME BACK! D-Rose mastery.
-
That's what you are supposed to do all the time Korver.
-
Moose/Bradley isn't even close to what we're talking about here.
-
I don't understand how one could be shocked when that very story line has been discussed all offseason to date. That's what people are expecting. It would hardly be shocking. Because it's never happened before with this franchise at the WR position. I don't see how anyone could not be shocked, regardless of storylines. It's one thing to talk about something like that, and quite another for it to actually happen.
-
Yeah, not worth it. I think Floyd and Wright will still be available at 19, and I'd be okay with either one of them. Get a big name free agent receiver to pair up with either one of those guys and the position will be a tremendous upgrade over last year. Well sure, but I'd be pretty shocked if they threw that much into one position in one offseason. Wouldn't you? A free agent and a higher draft pick? No, I would not be surprised. It's almost a necessity. He suggested a top FA though. So, VJax & Floyd for example. I'd love it, but would be shocked.

Don't worry, we'll have it figured out by late April.

I do like that one.

You mean in college? How about because a lot of defenders in college suck? Its not like the guy is coming from Abilene Christian. There was plenty of talent to judge his performances against. Sure he will be slower relatively, everyone is. not everyone will be slow like he is though. and johnny knox actually has had some really good seasons if we can talk about guys who get by on pure speed. Also we're not talking about whether Wright will get an opportunity in the NFL. We're talking about whether a team should invest 1st round mega money in him without him ever playing a down.
-
Yes, but would prefer to just let it pass and get on with actual baseball.
