Broncos whiffed on a 4th rounder named Phillip Blake. He was drafted in 2011, never played an actual regular snap, and he was just released. He was stashed on the PS a couple of years in a row, but looking back his spot could have been better used elsewhere. Some guys need more development, but even with that sometimes the investment doesn't pay off. Still hit or miss imo.

you can make the case that every draft pick, no matter the round, is hit or miss

So I see the Packers are using the backup QB roster spot like I use the kicker spot in fantasy football.

I hope Randall Cobb is ready to take some snaps!

I have no idea why they didn't just keep VY. Maybe they want Wallace as scout team QB for 2 weeks, then they'll bring a real backup back in?

because that spot could've been used in an area that you are lacking, such as LB, DL, OL. but your coaching staff is too fucking stupid and lacks vision for the broader picture. you'll see that soon enough (actually you already have, but you yourself are blind to it as well)

We don't have areas that are lacking, brah. Anything after the third round is just taking a shot to see we can uncover a diamond in the rough.

pretty sure they got rid of mesko because allen is cheaper.

Allen his directional kicking was better than that of Mesko, something the Patriots need more then just the massive leg of Mesko.

Still, Mesko was great, on and off the field, for the team and the community and a proven player, where Allen is still a rookie.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'm looking at the Lions schedule and there is a real chance they start 1-5.

If that would assure the firing of Jim Schwartz, I may be for that.

the odds aren't great but this is a no-risk situation for us. if he contributes absolutely anything, it is a win. we got a 4th round pick for nothing. if he shows nothing through the first 6 weeks, then we drop him when manningham is off the pup list.

the niners gave up nothing for him. he is a 4th round pick and a big bodied dude. that is what we are looking for in WR's. we are not a team that is going to put the ball up 40 or 50 times a game because we don't need to do that.

this signing basically means nothing to us except taking a chance on a 4th round pick with some potential. if he doesn't work out oh well. the original point is the seachickens look foolish and i will always support that!

For all your talk of the Seahawks looking foolish, you're putting an absurd amount of stock in the fact he was a 4th rounder.

Smart organizations know when to cut their losses and not put in good money after bad. We also know not to foolishly cling to players like Winfield just because of past performance. So, contrary to what you say, we are indeed looking to the future.

What's he bitching about? He got his signing bonus and now he's gonna make $10k a week for being on the PS, that is if he accepts to be on the Raiders PS. He's free to sign to whatever PS.

EDIT: Josh Fatman going to be jealous, going to all you can eat Korean BBQ tonight with my coworkers. It'll cost less than Lunchbox's "fine dining" seafood dish.

Does anyone like Eagle fans?
Click to expand...

Not sure about on here, but Iggles fans are some of the best at Phins games. I was really surprised with their turnout (there are a lot of Eagles fans here somehow) and they were all pretty nice, and really rowdy for their team. Better than Raiders, Pats and Jets fans, that's for sure. PEACE.

Lol you didn't 'cut your losses' with Harper, you tried to sneak him on the PS squad because you were stupidly blinded by the preseason success of your other two nobody receivers (can't wait to revisit this in December when they've completely busted), and you got burned. Then, after said burning by a far superior FO, you desperately tried to convince Harper to still stay like that lame loser friend everyone knew growing up who'd let you borrow anything just to be his friend.
