We Got The Whole 9

I wanted Brian Giles pretty badly and Hendry gave us Jacque Jones instead. I remember he went like 0-30 to start his Cubs career but eventually got on track. However his OBP always sucked ass.

I'm surprised (but happy) to see Posada under 5%

Pace needs to give Berry and Jefferson the Peppers treatment and show up on the doorstep when FA starts. Offer them the keys to the city; go above and beyond. You probably won't land em both but you gotta get one, IMO.

This is weird. Why would you.....on a team devoid of young talent....NOT want to bring back a young guy with the most talent on the roster? I understand if you don't want to pay him a ton of money, still wrong, but I could buy that more than what you say here. He barely fights for the ball is just flat out wrong. He won't reach his ceiling? You mean back-to-back 85 catch seasons, a 1400 yard season, a double digit TD season, a league leading 90 yards per game season isn't his ceiling? Well, that's more reason to sign him if you think a precision QB could make him even better. Oh and as for that "thread the needle" QB......you do know that Jeffery has (at times) been great with Cutler, Hoyer, Barkley, and McCown at QB, none of which apply. Yeah, I don't think he's a guy I want to give 15m to. Getting a PED suspension while on a franchise tag and the nagging injuries just makes me pause and question his reliability. But I also don't think he plays to his best (his ceiling; he reached it already IMO, now it's about getting back to it) without Cutler, or a guy who is not afraid to try and squeeze a pass in a tight window or just chuck up a 50/50 ball (largely what McCown did). He's still a little sloppy in his cuts and breaks and like I said often doesn't create much separation. I think this is a factor for why he was ignored for large stretches of games this year when we had game managing QBs who live in the middle of the field. Getting 150 targets he's gonna give you huge numbers but Taylor isn't the type to feed a guy like that, at least from what he's shown. So I like Taylor for his decision-making and the added element he brings in being able to escape the rush and move the chains with his legs if needed. But is Alshon gonna be utilized enough to make the money worth it? The target-distribution in Buffalo makes me wonder. He targeted his TE the most and gave his top 2 WR 70 each. I'd think we could use the money more wisely.

Better get a fuckin Uber, Satch

Don't miss out on the autographed Sean Marshall baseball - only $17! For real though, I just grabbed 6 new hats. I'm horsefeathering stoked.

I expect Pace to go hard after Berry and Jefferson. Say he gets Berry, then I'd like to draft Adams; if he gets Jefferson, then draft Hooker. Keep Amos in the rotation but he needs to show more propensity for big plays and not just be a 'Steady Eddie' type. Our Safeties could go from a near black hole to a huge strength this offseason. We have the cap and draft position to make it happen for sure. I'm down with signing Taylor but I am not too keen on Jeffery coming back. I'd rather bring in guys who could potentially take the top off a D and more precise route runners. His routes are still sloppy, he barely fights for the ball when a DB has a beat on it, and he doesn't create much separation so without a QB who can really thread the needle, I think he will not reach his ceiling. I feel like this draft is so deep on DL and we have Bullard developing, so as sick as adding Allen seems it would be, I really don't think you pass on a chance to add an elite Safety prospect, and can load up on DL in the middle rounds. I expect 2-3 CBs coming in FA+draft. The explosive element that Adoree brings would be huge for us. Getting him in the 2nd seems like great value. Pace could make some moves and have 7 of the top 106 picks if he gets crafty. Trade 3 to the Jets for 6 and their 2. Move back with one of those 2s and add another 3 or 4. Tons of potential to add a massive infusion of talent. I think it's worth the risk but if he feels Adams and Hooker would be gone, then I'm pleased as pie if he takes one of them at 3.

Motherfuckers at ESPNLA just took out Thompson and Trudell and will replace them with Stephen A next week. What a crock of horsefeathers.

I live in LA and for side money I Uber. So I get to talk to people of all walks of life. I usually prod just a little to see if they are sports fans and have found that pretty much everybody thinks this is a terrible move by the Chargers and don't really give a horsefeathers about them. They were rightfully excited to get the Rams back but couldn't care less that the Chargers are coming. But I'm pretty sure if they were getting the perennial playoff contenders of a few years ago, that would be different. The city is full of casual fans just waiting for a bandwagon to jump onto. But the teams suck so they are certainly fighting an uphill battle

horsefeathers, that would be an amazing boost to our speed and athleticism. That, along with the right additions in FA, could get this team to WC contention.

Havent bought a new console in 6-7 years but gonna have to get a PS so I can play The Show this season

Love the way Janikowski just lays there dumfounded of what happened

Tampa could get a nice haul for Kiermaier

I feel the same about Rademacher. I realize he's old but he puts the ball in play and gets on base a ton. He's hit at just about every stop, the power is trending up and he could very well have a big year at Iowa. There's no room for him in Chicago but I also like his potential to be a MLB player.

Allen was a no-show last night and Safety is a much bigger need than a DL, and also incredibly hard to find elite players at. If we go defense at 3, give me Hooker or even Adams. If we think we can get those guys by trading back a few spots (possibly picking up a 2018 1st rounder - see the Sammy Watkins trade where BUF went from 9 to 4 and had to surrender a 4th plus next year's 1st) that would be ideal to me since it's a much better class for QBs. DL are also ridiculously deep in this draft. I'd prefer to attack the secondary and get some receivers this year and possibly have 2 top 15 picks next year, if the sucky team that trades for the 3 this year continues to suck next year. We can also possibly use our 2nd and extra 4th to move back into the 1st this year and grab a QB.

Jimmy almost got skunked tonight

Exactly like my suit. So pimp.

I'd like to see what Fuller offers at FS before casting him off

Pair Hooker with a guy like Tony Jefferson and our defense could take a major step forward next year. We have a solid pass rush but seriously lack playmakers in the secondary. Way too succeptible to big plays.

Anybody like Malik Hooker at 3 if he declares and Garrett and Allen are off the board?

Lose, you losers

Broken fibula for Carr. 9ers didn't want the number 1 pick. Maybe they pull a miracle and beat Seattle next week.

Ajayi with his 3rd 200 yard game this season. 2nd against the Bills.

Just no. Maybe as a backup. MAYBE. I rather try to re sign Hoyer, draft a QB in 2nd/3rd, and let those 2 compete for the starting spot. I could be convinced for a 1st round pick on QB if Bears pick like 3rd and Browns/49ers go Garrett/Allen and they have their pick of QB, but even in that case, I would rather trade down as someone will overpay to get a QB. EDIT: This is under the assumption that Cutler is indeed 100% gone. Never said I wanted him to start but I'd rather have him than Hoyer.

I believe in Barkley. Get him some good Tackles, Pace. He's young with plenty of upside.
