Wed, 27 Apr 2005 07:34:30 -0700

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports free agent WR Az-Zahir Hakim (Lions) may be an option for the Kansas City Chiefs.

guess this just goes back to, would you rather have Az or Morton..

I'd rather have Az I think

I think people are underestimating Caphonso Thorpe. When healthy, he was basically Troy Williamson. Same speed and hands. Right now, he's a few tenths of a second slower than Williamson, but could regain the rest. I think he might be the offensive sleeper of the whole draft.

Great. Why don't we cut Kennison, too, then. Let's just throw Thorpe and Parker out there as our starters.

No but do you realize how much speed we'll have on the field with both Parker and Thorpe on the field? Two 4.4 guys as the 2nd and 3rd WRs is smokin fast. Kennison is still fast and quick but he's lost his long speed but with those three guys on the field our WRs are very fast. Very inexperienced but very fast and dangerous.

4.4? Nah, 4.35, baby!
I never said anything about cutting Kennison, or starting Thorpe. I'm just saying he'll surprise people. As for the main argument, I like Morton w/ a restructured contract over Az, if only for timing w/ Green.

I say sign Az and Issac.

Morton is history. Kennison isn't exactly an all-pro. Bo is a huge question mark with his blown out knee. Parker ain't ready to be a starter. Dante is a kick returner. Thorpe is a middle round rookie. Horn is essentially a special teamer.

The reason why Az would take away from the development of the younger guys is obvious. We all know how DV feels about "his players" and how hard it is for him to take off his homer glasses long enough to see that an Eric Hicks sucks. We bring in Hakim and he will be a starter whether he deserves it or not. By the time anybody can pull DVs head back outta Hakim's butt, the season will be a lost cause again.

Just say no to Hakim.

Just say no to Hakim.

If that's the case he'll be here until DV leaves, and that's that. No sense in fighting it with your mentality.

And if it worked for other coaches, I'm all for DV picking favorites. I just don't think he should have any say about defensive players.

Man screw getting Az. I dont even wanna hear all of my STL friends (down at MU) bitching about how we stole all of their offensive philosophy and players and such. Az is no more better at WR than Dante Hall, theyre the same damn kinda player. Im tired of us getting these little small WR's. Parker is a lil thing too. All we need is another 5-9 5-10 WR that cant jump up and nag balls out of DB's hands.
