[quote=CRedskinsRule;1278967]tell that to minnesota fans, who now have exactly the same duality on their message board. KC is KC, he can't/hasn't won anything with any team he has been on, and had we overpaid him, with the train wreck that our club has been, we wouldn't have been in any better place. than we are now.[/quote]

Most fans are dumb and don't even know what they're watching.

Check a GB message board and you'll find your fair share of A-Rod haters.

[quote=Ruhskins;1278959]I think it is ridiculous for people to say that Kirk is a scrub and that Heinecke is better than him.

[B]That being said, I don't think Kirk gets us to 25-21-1 had he stayed in our team. He would have given us stability at the position, but we wouldn't have had the offensive pieces he's had in Minnesota[/B].[/quote]

We'll never know because we let that ship sail. And then we failed to trade him once it was obvious he wasn't coming back. So many mistakes.

I think he could be another Garcon type of signing here. A guy that was a little under the radar with his first team but could really be ready to take off.

Casey Keenum was 11-3 with that roster minus the upgrades they added for Kirk. they had a great defence and kick ass receivers with one of the best running games in the league. Kirk was supposed to be the move to get them over the hump and into the superbowl . . . but instead they regressed BAD with kirk at the helm.

Yep ... that’s the way it is !

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Assuming anyone we signed, signed for a very reasonable deal, who is the one guy you absolutely have to have?

It would have been Robinson for me. Damn franchise tag is killing my off-season.

Still thinking WR though. Give me Golladay or Corey Davis.

The bridge is probably broken, but I'd happily bring back Trent too. He is still well above average, and he is a future member of the ring of honor.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Didn't realize this but Jim Hanifan passed away at 87 a few months ago. If the HOF decides to ever let assistants in he would be at the top of the list. He also had some good Cardinals teams back in the 80's w/ Roy Green and Neil Lomax when the Cards were in the NFC East.

Some of the great coaches and players that we had are really getting up there in age.

I don't see anyone out there that fits the category of "absolutely have to have". There are a lot of nice options out there though.

If they can get Corey Davis for a reasonable contract, I think he would be a great #2. However, it would be smart to NOT overpay for a WR considering how deep this draft class is at WR.

Gerald Everett would be a nice complement to Logan Thomas. The other TE options will probably be too expensive.

Malcolm Butler could be a good addition to the secondary without breaking the bank. I'm hoping Darby comes back though.

Basically can't wait until Sunday when we'll get an idea who they are targeting.

I do expect them to add a free agent QB.

Was wondering the same thing. I think they meant both. And just for the record I am totally on board with Wolves or Red Wolves, that W with claw scratches, and howling on every first down at home. Think it is bad ass actually. All the other ferocious animals are represented lets give the wolf its due.

Hadn't thought it could be understood both ways... it can though. But the video being about the renaming process and how can fans participate in it, that's the main meaning IMO.

In terms of Williams, yeah, their medical staff didn't kill me last time, let's give them another crack at it, LOL. NO WAY he ever signed here again, for any price.

In terms of players we might still realistically sign, Tre Boston. I know, another Panther, but FS one gaping hole on roster, Boston a solid center fielder. If he can be had for $4M a year or less on 1-2 year deal, I'm loving it. Especially because not a great draft for safeties. If we got him 2 years for $6M or 3 years for $10M that would be a solid signing and nothing prevents us drafting a FS. I suspect he is probably looking more $5M+ a year, and that is too much.

No way we should have paid kind of money Henry and others commanded at TE. Almost $13M a year for Henry, who can't stay healthy? No way. The Jordan Reed debacle all over. Even Everett got $6M. Hoping FO can find a gem at TE to sign as FA still, but things picked fairly clean, not a great draft at TE either.

If we could exit FA with a FS and TE before the draft we would have crushed it. I'm assuming the plan is to draft at least one LB so more signings there may be a waste.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

[quote=BaltimoreSkins;1278955]Three years later and we are still debating Kirk. IMO no he is not a top 10 QB, but his stats are good and the knock people give him in the 4th quarter I don't get either. Last year he had a 117 rating with 13 TDs and 2 interceptions in the 4th quarter. In close games where margin of victory/defeat was less than 7 points he had a 110 rating and 22 TDs and 6 ints. His salary the thee people closest to him in A/Y are Rodgers, Goff and Wentz. Those three have all played in Super Bowls but I would take KC over Goff and Wentz.[/quote]

WRs hate Cousins. He is Captain checkdown and terrible deep ball accuracy. NEVER going to win the big one.

Goff it just doesn't click mentally and may never come on. McVeigh did everything imaginable to help him succeed on some absolutely stacked Os and he fell flat on his face. McVay trading so much to get rid of him (and get Stafford) and giving up on him says a lot. If you can't succeed with McVeigh calling plays and the embarrassment of riches Rams had, where do you expect to succeed. They need to run a college spread O so Goff can process it, LOL.

Who knows Wentz, LOL. For all the promise, he's rolling up on 30 and hasn't done squat.

Picking among those three like asking which limb to cut off. I'd go Wentz, simply because there is no way Cousins or Goff ever win SB.

If he can do it, go for it. It can save Fitz a few hits too and keep him fresh.

As long as we don't have to hear the announcers fawning all over him like they do with Hill as he runs for 3 yards, or show video of him running shirtless. I wish someone would lay Hill out already.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

On a couple of 4th and 1s, we tried Logan Thomas in that wildcat direct snap to him .. I dont remember us converting on either attempt.

im guessing Montez would be used in a similar role .... BUT we already have Fitz, Allen and Heinike so I dont see us ever dressing 4 Qbs unless someone gets hurt.

Yes, someone can always be worse, but it depends on the decision making by the owner. We just need an owner that can let football people run the team and make most of the decisions. Snyder has shown repeatedly that he won't do that. He's doing it now because he is trying to keep any attention away from himself, but who knows what will happen once he is no longer under investigation.

There's always a risk in having a new owner, but even under the current conditions, I've seen enough of Snyder to be fine with a new owner.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

20+ years of Dan running a once proud franchise into the ground... hell yeah I'd take a chance on literally anyone other than him to own the team.
