Buftex Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Just heard the Colts released Marcus Pollard! He could be the great pass catching tight end TD has been looking for, since he came to Buffalo. He is like the second coming of Keith (K-Gun) McKellar, without all the injuries!

John from Riverside Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 This is actually turning out to be a good year for veteran TE's Pollard would have to be right up there at the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'd put Pollard above Bubba Franks at this point. Pollard is released, while GB would have the right to match our offer to Franks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes, the Colts thought so highly of him they cut him and kept Dallas Clark 248499[/snapback] Well, Dallas Clark is a lot younger, was a high draft pick for them, and was catching more balls for them than Pollard. Are you implying that Clark is not good? This was a salary cap move. The Colts are having their cap woes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_wag Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes, the Colts thought so highly of him they cut him and kept Dallas Clark 248499[/snapback] dallas clark was a 1st round pick who has been groomed to eventually take over for pollard.......nothing wrong with that reasoning........ would you have kept pollard at his 5M cap charge? are you suggesting they should have cut clark?

But JSP...this has all the makeing of a cost cutting move. I am kind of suprised they dont try to trade Pollard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that that your team is something like 12 million dollars over the cap, it is likely that you will have to cut some quality players to get under the cap!

Look, genius, I'm merely attempting to REFUTE your fact that Pollard is "the next coming of Keith McKellar". If he was THAT good (McKellar was AWESOME when healthy) he wouldn't be getting cut, and he wouldn't have been the second stringer. Capisce?

Buftex Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 If he's the "second coming of Keith McKellar" then yes. </facetious responses> 248522[/snapback] Actually, production wise, Marcus Pollard has had a much better career than McKelllar. I made the McKellar referance, because Pollian obtained him for the Colts, to play the role that McKellar played for the Bills, while he was here. If you think Pollard is not worth pursuing, you should probably watch al little more football! Or, if you don't know what your talking about, you have the option of not responding to a post. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem for Pollard was, though, that as all of those receivers started to emerge, his role in the offense started to diminish...when Peyton was making his way in the leauge, Pollard was a very valuable weapon for him...a pass catching tight end, with great speed, might be a big plus for Losman! I am not putting him in the Tony Gonzales category, but I think he is the best pass catching tight end that is available right now. I know people are jazzed up for Bubba Franks, but frankly, I don't see it! Sorry for calling you "tough guy"! I guess your crazy avatar got me riled up!

Reminded me of Spinks "walking" up to Tyson in '88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie68 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Pollard is a good player - this is a Salary cap move (keeping the youger guy). I watched a lot of Pollard this year. He'd be a great pick up if he's not looking for absurd $. Especially since the bills currently have nada at TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
