her appeal can be summed up in this simple sentence "They love it when fatty falls down"

If you're saying they had to change the types of routes they asked from that position to suit the player then you're really not disagreeing with me.

Pish posh, all we need is a pulse and a passport, guys like Watson are a dime a dozen... Getting rid of a NI starter in exchange for a middling draft pick is a surefire way to build a cup contender. Not too hard to replace his production when he can't stay in the lineup. Denmark, C WPG 51 750 14.7 58 1 Kelly, A WPG 39 515 13.2 47 3 Moore, N WPG 32 469 14.7 51 0 Grigsby, N WPG 51 421 8.3 45 1 Kohlert, R WPG 27 348 12.9 37 3 Bryant, R WPG 17 207 12.2 47 0 Watson, C WPG 14 203 14.5 47 3 Feoli-Gudino, J WPG 23 200 8.7 22 2 Now aren't those some interesting numbers there... only one receiver is less than 12 yards per catch.... just saying. He's not a bad possession guy but he isn't as versatile as the other guys. and, he has more TD's than Moore & Denmark combined Setting the bar low doesn't impress me.

Well that's just ******* great news.

I sometimes play Civ 4. I was a beta tester for the game and still have a soft spot for it. Civ 4 was the first civilization game I played since the first one and it was a lot of fun.

Depth is just another component of progression, it is neither a reason nor an excuse. Depth is something that is primarily built in offseasons though, can you honestly expect depth to get better during a season? It's not bloodly likely since injuries deplete depth like clockwork during a season.

There is no way that offer was on the table. I'd fire Taman on the spot if he made that move. Taman has never shied away from trading first round picks for quarterbacks though, in fact I'm pretty sure he's been quoted as saying that first round picks for qbs or starting NIs is a no brainer or something similar.

Reasons and excuses, there is a world of difference and it's time some of you learned that.

I think that's the most important take away here... for the first time in years we have a quality HC and QB to build around... now we just need to fill in all the surrounding holes... Well that and not run them out of town at the first hiccup. Hell we already see people griping about Willy and MOS...

While I'd like to see Sears on the field as much as possible. If bruce is healthy he should play. He's been arguably our best DB this year. He most certainly has not. Randle has been the best and I don't think that's really up for debate. Johnson has been good no question about that, but has he been better than Washington? Not sure I can go that far. Was he any better than Sears was? Don't think I can say that either, has he been better than Leggett? Dunno about that either. Really what we have is a secondary that have all been doing quite a good job. Sears I wouldn't replace though, too much of a playmaker, gotta make room on the roster for guys like that. You know what "arguably" means right? I never claimed he was "the best". and Dave's saying that you can't even really make the "argument", for "reasons" that were "accurate".....Chris "Randle" has been our "best" DB all year by a "mile" and likely "the" best in the "league..... Other than his opinion, what reasons did he give to support Randle being our best db? He said it wasn't up for debate, then didn't debate it... No other reasons are needed, it's a fact.

Sherman didn't steal anything, he simply did an OK job and because of ratio reasons is still there. Rest assured that if it weren't for the ratio Sears would have been back there as soon as he was healthy.

Update had a few good segments, the new guy is a good standup for sure, hopefully that translates into some sketches. The Marvel can't fail bit was good, and the NFL stuff was decent but the rest of it was just such a mess.

because he has had a bad case of fumblitis througout his career. So that's why they are keeping him around? So he can fumble some more? Adrian Peterson used to fumble on a regular basis but he fixed that problem, so why can't Volny? they are obviously keeping him around because they like his work on special teams and feel that in a pinch he can handle the load, like if there's an injury in the game he can fill in. You realize that teams need depth players right?

Darian Durant will be back soon...

because he has had a bad case of fumblitis througout his career.

are they better than the people they brought in during the offseason? Do they have a chance of actually cracking the roster?

Sure they can, Durant has a history of always playing great in the playoffs. and by that of course you mean he has a history of beating playoff chokers right? Lots of wins vs. Burris in the playoffs.

Could they win in those places with a healthy Durant?

Why would Taman leak info about the offer for a player that was supposedly rejected knowing that a large portion of the fanbase can't stand the player in question? Sorry not buying it, Taman has nothing to gain by that. There is a very good reason the media in Winnipeg absolutely loves Brendan Taman still, it's because he is very open with them, he always told them a lot. It's part of why they hated Kelly and Mack so much, both guys basically told the media to go **** themselves. If you honestly think that Taman would leak his offer that got rejected for a player a lot of fans hate then I guess there is no use arguing lol. Better go back to the echo chamber at riderfans then. We all know how Taman operates, we had him here for years. He is really open with the media types, it's why they like him.

Well with Chambers out for the rest of the year they likely needed someone.

At this point I just can't see any teams other than Ottawa trading away QB depth. On the other hand, if they offered a first rounder for Brohm... Well Montreal might be willing to part with Brink or Smith... but does that really count as depth at this point?

It's funny that you accuse Madani of being a franchises media mouthpiece and then quote Rob Vanstone of all people as your source for Durants health.Vanstone provided his source, Durant & the team.No bias there.Who would you rather have as a source for Durant's health?Not the point, the point here is spin, you know, what you are doing. They're putting a shiny happy face on things so the fans and team don't panic. "Don't worry Durant will be back soon and it'll all get better" any thing to take the minds off the shut out loss.That conspiracy theory makes no sense. Are you suggesting that the Riders medical staff are being dishonest so they can give Riders fans false hope? Sorry but that is tinfoil hat material as that is the last thing you want to do if Durant can't come back. You really are thick aren't you? They are saying the absolute 100% best case scenario. Kind of like the Lions were putting on the brave face in the offseason with the best case for Lulay coming back. Happens allllllllllllll the time in pro sports.
