Are you going to risk giving him a Dana Stubblefield fat contract and risk watching him do nothing? Haven't we learned? I say pass no matter how talented he is, we have too may needs to blow our money on a player who is on the cusp of of maybe the down side of his career.

Not every stud d-lineman free agent is the next Dana Stubblefield.

For the record I'm not an advocate of signing him. But saying he's an average player because he got shut down in one game doesn't make any sense.

I didn't say he was average, I said "or maybe he's average"? I've seen lots of games were he disappears, especially the big ones and I've seem have some great games. It's a crapshoot.

ok so you suggest that maybe he's average, semantics.

Either way the guy isn't average, or maybe average.

Every single team has made a bust trade or signing.. if "learning" means never doing the same thing again we'd never acquire players in any method, that's trades, free agency and udfa, draft, etc
