  1. LeShaun McCoy is a top shelf franchise running back with no dog in him. You may not like the personality but there's nothing wrong with the player.
  2. Well whatever the reason, keeping Rex would be another mistake. The first mistake was hiring him in the first place.
  3. No it's not Promo.His O-line draftees are horrible. The only good wideout is Sammy. But moving up and paying that price shows just how clueless he is. Oh yeah and if not Sammy it's Ebron. CJ Graham befor TY Hilton? Goodwin? Look at teams that know how to evaluate WRs Pitt, big Blue, Zona, Cinci etc... EJ is a monumental gaffe - bad enuf to get a GM fired in and of itself. He's pretty good evaluating defensive talent in the draft but you need a GM to be good on both sides, or at least not terrible.
  4. Whaley is no good at drafting players for the offence. He has not earned a new contract. If Pegs doesn't like him, he just doesn't renew. Getting rid of Rex is a bigger problem. He got Pegs by the short ones. Snake oil salesman and carnival barker. He's good at that tho.
  5. Novice owner's gaffe. But boy it was a doozie - 5yrs fully guaranteed. Sheesh.
  6. I don't think anyone knows for sure right now, We'll have a much better idea one year from now.
  7. O'Leary was ok today. Not just the catch (showed "football speed"). He made a good block too.
  8. Why so serious? Beating up the best corner in the league (in more ways than one). Don't worry someone will clock him sooner rather than later.
  9. Unless Boobie is the second coming of Easley on special teams (which I haven't noticed), I too would look to replace Boobie. We haven't seen enuf of Gilislee, but so far he looks like a good # 3, not a main backup to McCoy, and if, as has been suggested, Karlos is not the answer, then we could likely do with an upgrade. But I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the next three games. As for the Miller comparison, just checkout Miller's TD run versus the Giants with Gillislee's TD run vs Philly. Very similar styles it seems to me.
  10. You have a point, and if you're right Gillislee is probably not the guy you are looking for as a 1A. But who knows, he might surprise. I would think the next three games are important for him to show what he has.
  11. No no John. We're not talking about the top 5 franchise running back McCoy. We are talking about Gillislee. And I didn't say that we were weak at the RB position (tho we could use some upgrades if Karlos can't make it thru concussion protocols). Yeah, I really like Miller too. My comment re his being a poor man's Miller has more to do with running style (they are similar IMO) and the different degrees of accomplishment when you compare the two - not just the fact that Gillislee is a 3rd stringer.
  12. Not unhappy but doesn't look to be more than a poor man's Lamar Miller.
  13. No doubt Pettine has forgotten more football than I will ever know. But I like Russell Wilson. A lot. So much that I have no problem pairing him with an elite guy like Drew Brees.
  14. Every Sunday we see top shelf QBs do things in the passing game that Tyrod has never done. And it's unfortunately not just the acknowledged franchise guys. It's also the young up and comers, like Bortles, Winston, Mariota, Carr - and it includes someone like Wilson whose attempts have in the past at least been limited, like Tyrod 's. I don't think anyone knows for sure whether Tyrod can elevate his game to bona fide starter level, but it looks like we are going to find out. At the very least he should with the experience he will now be getting develop into good backup/change of pace type guy, which is certainly very nice to have. I just wouldn't be writing any blank checks anytime soon.
  15. He should have kicked Gragg in the stones when he 100% whiffed on Clowney.
  16. Agree. The question is will we be seeing more and more of his best version - and can his best version also get better? Jury is out. But clearly having some hope is not out of the question, based on what we saw today.
  17. To me, this is the best Tyrod has looked all year. Looked every bit a legit starting QB. Very encouraging.
  18. "And the little guy shall be left on the ground" - Solomon has spoken.
  19. I'm sold on Tyrod as a potentially top shelf backup QB in this league (assuming he can continue to develop and improve his game). That's very much a positive and confirms that he has a valuable role to play. A really good backup/change of pace type guy is extremely valuable to have. Can he become a bona fide franchise guy? Seems unlikely (to me) but if he can that's great. I don't have a problem with him as our starter entering 2016. At least we will all get to have a good hard look at him.
  20. As if he was an asset instead of a liability. I'd be ecstatic if we could just unload Rex and his ridiculous contract on somebody else.
  21. True, but why would they make such an important decision without the benefit of advice from a wise head. I mean having heard of Rex Ryan just isn't reason enuf. 25 for 5 - are you kidding me?
