NFL Offseason
- Thread starter bmoneynova
- Start date
The only thing to do is let this play out. Maxwell was an impact signing and Gore was a good one. Not signing Maclin is a mistake IMO but I think burrs said it: Chip feels his scheme will always keep the offense strong regardless of the skill positions. I cannot believe that they will enter the season with Riley Cooper as the #1 receiver.
BTW, this has to be all about money because Maclin will not match his stats from last season with Alex Smith throwing to him. Still a mistake IMO to let him go.

5.5M for Sanchez as a backup? Doesn't seem right. Think this lends more credibility to Eagles moving up for Mariota. Sanchez will start till Mariota is up to speed.

Alex Smith and Sanchex/Foles is a flat out wash. I am not sure how the Eagles are better yet. Jettisoning RB1 and a damn good receiver for ...Frank Gore? Kelly's system still requires athletes - and he just downgraded in two big spots, and he doesnt have a QB1.
Yes, a lot of off season to go but I am having a hard time hearing how a 27 year old RB might be past his expiration date and yet a 32 year old with as many miles as any RB in football can step in a be an acceptable replacement.
Dmil, I for one don't believe the McCoy move was about a 27-year old getting past his prime, but 100% had to do with paying said RB over 11 million per. Gore at a reasonable # is ok. I haven't seen any numbers, tho. I actually think Polk can be a good player if he stays healthy. Sproles will do what he does. I'm not really worried about the RB position.
WR is a different story. Personally, I don't think Maclin was worth 10 million, (If that's what he wanted). He's a good player, not really a clear-cut #1, but better than what they have now, obviously. I'm going to reserve judgement until the rest of this plays out. I don't think they go into next year with Matthews, Cooper, and Huff (Who I think has a chance to be decent) as their top three WR's.
The QB situation? Well, who knows how that plays out. We'll see.

With Gore, I saw 2 years, 7 million with 5.5 guaranteed.
49ers also getting Torrey Smith who didn't fit well with Steve Smith.

Sooo we dont get McCourty, which means we still need a safety...and still need another damn CB because they'll want to keep Boykin in the slot? I suppose they could snag Tramon Williams for average money and why the hell not, they just signed 31 yr old Frank Gore so it's not like they're not trying to win now.
And now...we need a damn WR. CAN NOT go into the season with Matthews, Cooper, Huff as the 1-2-3. Cooper SUCKS. Please buy him out, just get him outta here, swallow the money I dont even care. He stinks. Stinks.
Sign Worilds? All this freed up money has gotta go someplace right?
Gonna be kinda tough to fill these holes in the draft if we trade half of it for Mariota.
Kelly is full of himself it's amazing. I understand it's system, system, system with him. But come on, you need PLAYERS that actually strike some fear into a damn defense. Christ, imagine Foles trying to pilot this mediocre core of skill guys. Jesus. Dude is used to having DeSean, LeSean, Maclin. Now he's got...nothing. They almost HAVE to go get Mariota now and give defenses something to think about.

Love how Kelly and Hinkie shit all over the fans with terrible moves and some brainwashed COPers tow this party line of "they have a plan". No they really don't.

whoa.

Not sure how you can pay attention even a little bit and say they don't have a plan. You can say these plans ae flawed and or unproven to be successful, but it's not terribly hard to see the plan in either case.
Kelly has basically pulled a Michael Corelone here. He settled all Eagles business. Desean Jackson is dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia, Trent Cole, Stracci, Cuneo, Shady McCoy. They all answered for Sonny.
no, did not, but was reading some stuff this morning that speculated Kelly was basically getting rid of guys who likely have questioned his ways the last couple of years - thats what made me think of it, and a GF reference is never very far away from me. It's kelly's way or the highway it seems. I think evey decent HC in sports needs to operate like this to some degree.Originally posted by wcburrs87:
Dmil, the GF reference is a BB2N from my Twitter account
Did you see it and are busting chops?
And at the end, it's......."So, don't tell me you are innocent, Howie."
So a fake angry black guy who gets paid to scream and stir up controversy as a poor man's JohnnyGentle has done just that?
I'm shocked.
ADP, if he's getting passed up at 6 and by teams that need qb's, what does that say about the guy? I never understood why anyone thought the Iggles would have to pay an arm and a leg for a qb going 6. I understood it for RG3 because it was going luck 1 and then him, so noone could have a chance. But with all these teams passing, it would be insane for any of the teams before the Jets to not pick him and deal him. I never understood why this wasn't getting compared to the Sanchez trade which is almost the exact same situation. The jets traded up from 17 to 5 to pick Sanchize and gave up an additional second rounder and some so so players. Shouldn't that be the model of this deal and not RG3?
Selmore, the only people comparing it to RGIII were folks like DMIL and the uniformed/GM"s trying to get others trade up. The Jets aren't getting 3 1's to come up and draft Mariota at #6. Who really thought that would happen. Oh wait.....

This is awesome. Gore is thinking, "emm, they resigned Sanchez and let Maclin walk after letting McCoy walk...hello 8 man fronts....and who is handing the ball off to me....yeah uh I'll go play with Andrew Luck with T.Y Hilton taking the top off the defense".
Jesus Christ, I dont blame him one damn bit.
Where the hell does Kelly turn if he cant get Mariota? This looks really, really bad.
