A lot of it is self-inflicted though. I agree that he shouldn't be vilified for making a business decision, but the negative perception has been helped by his own actions. Posting images of strip...
I don't get what was meant then by getting credit for this year. What did that mean, when people were saying that.
The other thing I don't get, is why he wouldn't just come in at this point. He...
Kaepernick was Kaepernicked because he just isn't that good... he just isn't worth it. Is he better than Nathan Peterman, and probably 20 other guys holding clipboards right now? Yeah, maybe. But a)...
With respect to Saxon, I won't personally put him in Munchak's hallowed level as a position coach. I think a lot of guys can have success behind this line.
I look at the Patriots, and there is...
The team that signs him is a sucker. I hope a intrepid reporter investigates and writes a story about RBs who miss an entire year (due to injury, or any other reason), and how they come back to...
Has to be Ridley, for the above point. But also, no one would pick him up if he got cut. Burns should be cut, no doubt. He is beyond salvaging. I think he's proven he's a never-was, but I think he...
The big question to me, is how to use Bell to the maximum. To me, it is a waste to just have Bell or Conner serve as each other's backup or spell each other. I would be interested in knowing if a...
Nice!
As for Feiler and his journey, it continues to show how great Munchak is with these guys. No question Gilbert walks. And while Foster has had a nice long run with us, he's probably going to...
Other contending teams have done this type of thing... but... I can't believe I'm saying this... the way Bud Dupree has played the past few weeks, I'd pass on this particular player.
This agent is an idiot then, unless he gets $8m more than Gurley, or at least the amount the Steelers offered him, this season was a complete wash. He can maybe argue that it saved Bell a season's...
I never said I thought he could. I'm just saying let's call his bluff.
I think (to continue with the poker analogies) he's overplayed his hand. I think he tried to bet his hand, the Steelers...
I'm seeing all this talk about the team lacking a 3rd WR... They should put Bell as the slot, or whatever he thinks he can play best, and let him "prove" that he is the 3rd WR that he has been...
Deep down, Conner can't wait for Bell to come back. And the BEST thing for him would be if the Steelers gave Bell back the job, relegating Conner to his previous role (bench). Because Conner has...
This has happened before, when Bud has put together a few good plays in a game and people think the light has gone on (e.g. MIA playoff game). I'll withhold my optimism for now. IMO, its more likely...
If this season turns into anything we would consider a success (reality says success doesn't necessarily mean SB or bust; a deep run in playoffs would be successful IMO), it will be because of: the...
I don't think that's true at all, though I agree with the notion that he should stick to football more at this point.
Weird he's been on so many teams already. I may be wrong, but I always thought Hyde had the ability to be a big-time back. Put him on our offense, I think he looks like Conner.
I agree, but it only takes one suitor.
Every week Conner balls out too, it also makes Bell look a little less great.
With Peterson too, I imagine he has the ability to kick inside a la Rod Woodson as he ages. I'm assuming here, since there is a level of instinctiveness and physicality (tackling) that is necessary...
I think you're seeing how gawdawful his replacements are. To me, that means Sutton and Sensabaugh. I agree that this position is so deficient that it is hard to imagine us making a serious run.
You don't think so? I'm a fan, but I kinda think it will be hard for James to continue this well. The last thing I want to see is a worn down Conner running into the stack in December and January. If...
Another solid game from Haden, the dropped INT notwithstanding. I shudder to think of this secondary without this guy. Put bubble wrap around him from Mon-Sat, give him massages, acupuncture, cryo,...
Who I'm assuming was responsible for Don Julio. If not him, then props to the coaches for devising a way to take him out of the game.
There is a glimmer of optimism for me and Matakevich. I'm not saying he's going to become Zach Thomas, but I won't be surprised to see him approach double-digit tackles at the end of the game....
