I think we also have to keep in mind that prolly less than 10% of what we hear thru the media has any teeth. Most media outlets are putting two (we have dire need for WR) and two (we have some money to spend) together and coming up with four (we are very serious about signing Wallace).... We'll soon see what's really happening...
Same could be said about Jake Long. Well they did just dump their only play making WR. It makes sense.
That's fair criticism. They other stuff was just made up. How many QBs turned out pretty good last year? WR has a higher chance of success than QB.
I guess 4 QBs turned out pretty good. And you could stretch for Weeden I suppose, if you wanted to. Not sure how many WRs from last eyar made an immediate impact. But again, out of 15 or so receievrs drafted how much more than 4 or 5 turn out well. And under your scenario we would be getting 3 of them. It's not a criticism, I just think it's an unrealistic scenario
Thanks for the insight. I don't know a lot about him I will be honest. I am just trying to keep a biased view, in any case he signs on as a Dolphin I am a fan of him as any other player. Any player could be the next great or the next dud its really all guessing games anyways.
I seriously don't understand the problem you have with reading. You keep bringing up "immediate impact" when I have very clearly not argued in favor of the drafted WRs being immediate impacts. I also don't think odds improve or worsen based on how many a team takes in a given year. I don't think there have been many teams that have even taken WRs in the first 3 rounds of a single draft.
The Packers have the right plan on how to build things, and this is the reason they have had sustained success. They understand that you build your team through the draft, and if you parlay into free agency, you go after players who have been underpaid but you do't have to break the bank for them. Really, the only big money they spent in free agency was when they gave Charles Woodson a 5 year, $55 million contract that was structured great. They also didn't take three receivers high in one draft. They took one in 2006, one in 2007, and one in 2008....all in the 2nd to 3rd rounds, and then they took another one in the 2nd round in 2011. No first round picks. No big money. They put the proper value on the receiver position, IMO.
Wow, a 26 year old millionaire would rather come play in Miami than in Cleveland. Perhaps Wallace had a long talk with Lebron and decided the winters on South Beach are far better than the winters in Cleveland. South Beach, great weather during the winter and no state income taxes. Miami has a lot to offer. Now if Ireland can just close the deal for a change.
That was the same logic I used for Chip Kelly staying at Oregon. Who the hell wants to live in a place like Filthadelphia when they have a great job in a great city like Eugene, Oregon?
I don't know the exact amount he got from Philly, but he was making, I believe, between 3.5 and 4 mil a season at Oregon.
So would Chip apparently, just like some people would rather live in Cleveland or Indianapolis than Miami.
