So you didn't watch them play at all this year? BTW, Brady was 24 of 38 in the AFCCG.

How is that not getting it done?

Hope this helps

Brady isn't getting it done like he use to. Smoke & mirrors always has been part of Peyton's game(intelligence for most). With the arm strength being less reliable it's more so now

I really thought calling Manning smoke & mirrors would be the contested part. Catching the defense with 12 men on the field. Getting them to jump off sides so you get 3 downs to get 5 yards. You can take more down the field shots.

He could likely be had for less than Hester...If the Chiefs got 500+ yards receiving out of him in year 1 of Reid, makes sense they'll get more out of him as the offense evolves. Not to mention the fact that Dex can spell RB if necessary, and Hester cant. Dex is an ascending player, Hester isnt. You can do more with Dex. Id just hate to lose Dex when his best years are ahead. I dont mind overpaying a bit to keep him. Just my take...

Dex has grown on me as well, I've used the analogy "handy little pocket multi-tool" quite a bit because it fits... but if he ends up being too expensive then I'm down for letting him go.

I'm all about stocking this team up the right way, the Steelers dominated for so long because they never hesitated to ditch guys who cost too much and drafted well to replace them.

Obvious question is obvious. :thumb:

I can't wait for the meltdown when we re-sign the guy...

If they do resign him it shouldn't be for much more than hesters deal a few years ago which was 2mil per.

The real DMC:

" Dexter 'Ludacris' Mc'motha ****in' Cluster "

I'll take Andre Roberts over McCluster.

Wouldn't mind Ted Ginn for PR/KR and an occasional 9-route if Avery is tired. Meh on the rest. Need to look to the draft for our answer at WR.

Also sign Hester if the price is right... Guessing it won't be but wanting to be used like McCluster and back with his ST's coach wouldn't shock me.

If you're looking to improve your receiving corps, and the plan to so includes signing Hester, that is a flawed plan.

Hester sucks as a receiver, and he hasn't been nearly as productive as a returner without Taub.

Wouldn't mind him as a punt returner, but if I were going to pick up a WR it would be Decker.

UDFA rookie, wonder what his compensation level will be. I've like this guy since his rookie year, and kept thinking seattle was wasting a starting spot on Sydney rice for a couple years now.

Cribbs have anything left in the tank?
