    Why? Jones & White are interchangeable with Hartline & Bess. :shifty:

    True but this year I dont really see anyone on his level. Jones is a freak.

    Da'Rick Rogers has some of that ability if he uses the offseason to work on his speed.

    Just look at the receiving targets all four of the teams playing today have.

    Falcons: White, Jones, Douglas, Gonzalez
    Ravens: Smith, Boldin, Jones
    49ers: Moss, Crabtree, Davis, Manningham when he's healthy
    Pats: Welker, Lloyd, Gronk, Hernandez


    Then there is us: Hartline, Bess, and Fasano. Hell ya

    Not just his speed but decreasing his stupidity/Dez Bryant factor.

    The Pats and Falcons illustrate your point. The inclusion of the 49ers and Ravens is just silly

    In what way? I'd take both those team's receiving corps over ours everytime. Did you see Boldin and Smith last week?

    The Niners might. The Ravens certainly don't Smith and Boldin are way better than any WR on our team could even dream of being.
    Not to mention they have 2 TE's who are better than Fasano.

    Speaking of first round WR's, what's the deal with the 49ner's first overall pick A.J. Jenkins?

    No argument against upgrading at WR. But as usual, the better QB in Kaepernick led his team to victory and not the better WR. If great WR led their teams to super bowls then A. Johnson, C. Johnson, L. Fitzgerald, J. Jones, AJ Green would be playing for the Lombardi trophy on a regular basis.

    Do you think Miami would be better off today with Jones instead of:

    Mike Pouncey
    Daniel Thomas
    Clyde Gates
    Ryan Tannehill
    Lamar Miller

    Probably not Tannehill or maybe Pouncey. But the other 3, yes.

    You so thoroughly misunderstand the argument, i can only imagine the reason being your irrational Tannehill hatred from the second he was drafted.

    Thats because his defense yet again choked in the 2nd half.

    No, this is silly ! Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin are the most dangerous combo in the league, next to White and Jones. And Gonzalez inst much better than Pitta at this point, If at all. Not to mention Rice/Peirce > Turner/Rodgers. The pats are probably paying 3x as much for Welker and Lloyd as the 9ers are for Crabtree and Moss. I'll take the latter, and Vernon Davis over Hernandez..... Gore/James>Ridley/Vareen.

    Not sure what the point of this question is, or how to even attempt to answer it ! What do they have to do with the statement your responding to...???? which states that it would pay dividends to draft a WR in the 1st round. Obviously we didnt chose any of those players over Julio Jones, or any other WR for that matter.

    This is not true in the least when factoring in all pass catchers <WR, TE, and RB>, their playmaking ability, threat to beat you deep, as well as how dynamic both groups are. The Niners & Ravens personnel can beat you all over the field, make the tough catch, and make plays after the catch. Heck, the Niners have enough talent that their 1st round receiver never saw a snap this year.

    Since when?

    Not necessarily. That playbook takes a while to master.

    Parcells or Ireland passed on Boldin when he desperately wanted to be here....bad decision.

    The Falcons have as many holes as the Dolphins do. I think they'd have been better off keeping all those picks, and getting guys like Randall Cobb, TY Hilton, Davon House, Justin Houston, etc.

    The point is that one needs to consider not only the cost, but the opportunity cost as well.

    Even looking at it on a more granular level, I think Aldon Smith or JJ Watt would be much more valuable to the Falcons than Julio Jones is right now.

    Their TE is retiring, and thats another major hole for them now. Thats in addition to a defense that routinely blew big leads, and whose only legitimate pass rusher is on the decline. Who will step up for them without a bunch of picks coming into their second and third seasons? They took a shortcut and that almost never works.

    Shortcuts don't always work. But so far neither has Teflon Jeff's long winding road.
    Aqua just laid out what the 2 teams have done since both basically rebooted at the same time. Advantage: Falcons.
    However this offseason is going to go a long way in sealing the short term future of the Dolphins.

    Yeah, the Falcons hit on a QB. That doesn't change the reality of their trade for Julio Jones.
     
  40. I would also list Ray Rice as a recieving threat for the Ravens
