taglientep: don't necessarily disagree. But there are 3 TE's that are all very similar in their skillset (IMO) coming out this year: Ebron; Amaro; ASJ. All of them aren't going in the first round.
hahaha.. ya man, so true! Look at the Texans..they go from playoffs last 4 years or so to being worst team in NFL with #1 pick. They'll be back in playoffs next year. We'll be 7-9 next year.
In a perfect world, I would prioritize those signings as:
1. Dareus
2. Hughes
3. A. Williams
4. Searcy
5. Freddy
If we can lock up the first 3 I would be very happy.
isn't A. Williams signed through 2014? And Searcy too? And Freddy?
I think Jerry Hughes deserves a nice contract. For all the criticizing myself and others do about roster moves on this team, the Hughes pickup was EXCELLENT. He's a perfect match for this scheme. The guy has 9 sacks and 2 forced fumbles and he's only 25. Sign him up!
He had a decent game vs. Atlanta last week too, and actually beat the Falcons..something we weren't able to do. He's still in playoff contention and we're not; Tuel will never be.
I haven't. And quite frankly, that carried over into the 1st quarter of the games vs. the Jags. The INT that EJ threw on that bubble screen was inexcusable. Versus ANY OTHER team, we would've gotten blown out of that game yesterday in the 1st half.
Thankfully our defense showed up in the first half. EJ everntually did put together some good drives so that should definitely be seen as a positive. In the end, we just want the arrow to be pointing up on this guy. But man he's got a long way to go still.
Bingo. Yet Marrone and Co. had Flynn in Buffalo for 3 weeks and he never saw the field during that period of the season when QB's were going down left and right. Our season was put in the hands of TUEL. Great coaching.
Ya my reasoning is awful. Flynn has 5 yrs of NFL experience; a 62.9 career completion %; 2,243 yards; 7.43 yard/avg; 16 TD; 9 INT and we had him on the sideline holding a clipboard vs. the Chiefs while JEFF TUEL single-handedly loses us the game.
Flynn will always be a better backup than Tuel. Yesterday, today, and 10 yrs from now.
Though he had a solid game yeaterday, it remains a position that can be upgraded in the off season. Chandler is a FA too. Perfect time to wish him well and upgrade.
Positions we should upgrade at: lb, LG, TE, WR
Lol. Ya i have no idea how he let that crappy player beat him out.
Guys, IM TALKING ABOUT FLYNN AS A BACK UP - NOT AS AN ANSWER TO STARTING QB.
Would you rather have tuel, thad, or flynn as a backup? Answer appears to be easy.
