Max Starks

[isonator07]

Rams release Max Starks. Might be a good idea to bring him back.

[The Man of Steel]

Just do it.

[flippy]

If we somehow get Max back, you can put 12-4 in stone ;)

[The Man of Steel]

My gut feeling is telling me that Guy Whimper goes and Max comes back to town by Friday.

[ramblinjim]

I hope the Man of Steel is right. Max CANNOT be worse. Heck, I'm not sure how much worse I would be........ And I'm 40, 5'8 and slow.

Releases by three franchises now... Not thanks

[Flasteel]

Do it!! :tt2

Better than any OT we have on the roster...sad but true. He will not help the long term plans but would certainly provide stability to a line that is in disarray.

[Starlifter]

Starks is Tomlins own personal case of herpes. he never goes away.

it's tomlin's fault for getting the disease in the first place. better draft picks were the cure and a recognition that pouncy hasn't played an entire season yet would have been the cure.

12-4 here we come...:)

[feltdizz]

12-4 easy money... already called my bookie.

[tjs1974]

No Brainer. The Steelers got to sign Max back. No way will he play any worse than Adams at LT and Ben is very comfortable having Max protect his blind side.

[feltdizz]

Maybe Ben was protesting to get Max back... both of them look like trash without each other

EXACTLY
We were a sieve with him "anchoring" the LT spot last year! If we brought him back, we would still be a sieve!

Besides, Tomlin just talked about accountability. Bringing back some roody poo like Starks would only undermine that mindset.

He can't possibly be worse than Adams.

I agree... but I think Starks is Ben' binkie... his Linus blanket.

[feltdizz]

Maybe... but I'm not so sure. Starks has been Adams bad this year on 2 teams. Maybe Starks plays for Ben but if he plays like he has this year you will see why he was released by 2 teams in 3 weeks.

He's not. But if he is barely better (which I think is the case), it doesn't change the fact that our line sucks. I've suggested trying something completely new (exploring the possibility of Foster or Decastro stepping in there), and allowing that (if they can prove capable) to spark an attitude adjustment that could improve our line. Imagine if Decastro was able to pull off an Alan Faneca that one year, when he stepped up for the team and took over at LT. It would show leadership, sacrifice, AND AN URGENCY that could be infectious.

That is the kind of change we need--a leadership lift. Not replacing a hot pile of $h!t with a warm pile of sh1+.

[Jigawatts]

Agreed with all of the above, but for some reason Ben and Max go together like Jenny and Forest

And Adams plays about as well as Lt. Dan would... After the war....

Hot damn.... lol

OMG, we gotta start calling him Lt. Dan. I hope that name sticks. Classic!!!!

Trade for Levi Brown and sign Max Starks. Clean slate at tackle.

I'm sold! Where do I sign up?

[phillyesq]

I doubt Starks comes back after the Levi trade. Saw him a bit in one of the Rams games, and he looked brutal, but was also cold off the bench.

If Whimper doesn't go to make room for Levi, I'd still prefer Max to Whimper. If they didn't trust Whimper in the Vikings game despite Adams getting abused, he has no business being on an NFL roster.

And that's the bottom line.
