I've posted it twice this week in separate threads. I would draft his replacement soon. He is to short for the stud WR's coming up these days. All these guys are 6'2"-6'5".

At 5'9" he is going to get dominated. If I could trade him and get great value, not good. I would do it and play Travis Daniels there and I would be comfortable with it.

Aron Rodgers is getting hosed.

I would personally like to see us test Flowers inside. Hypothetically, if we could move Flowers inside next year, we could draft a corner in the 2nd round who would be larger. Again, this only based on if Flowers could play inside.

Why? If we could move 5'9 Flowers inside, he'd potentially have a better matchup with slot receivers (i.e Welker, Harvin, etc) than playing against 6'2 plus receivers on the outside. Again, this isn't asking he get moved there now or permanently. I think that it wouldn't be a horrible idea to move him inside occasionally on 3rd down if we had another corner who could match up outside (i.e. having Carr and Routt). You have the potential to upgrade the slot and the outside if you were able to draft a larger corner who could play outside and if FLowers>Arenas in teh slot.

Flowers taking over K.Lew's spot at S? I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Landry + DeMarcus Milliner / Carrington Byndom / Jordan Poyer?

TO THE SHIP!

You have to be fucking shitting me. No he is not getting "dominated" and no he won't just because the recievers are tall.

wtf

[CoMoChief]

I'd draft a CB in the first rd next season.

Don't know of any other position we'd be able to use a 1st rd pick on.....perhaps safety or ILB.

I guess it also depends on what happens w/ Bowe.

Andrew Luck signed a 4 yr 22 million dollar deal?

He got Low Balled

here's why we can't move Flowers inside

Javier Arenas
Donald Washington
Jalil Brown

which means Pioli is terrible at drafting and evaluating a good outside cover corner. He tries to draft for "smarts" and the "right 53" and all that crap, instead of athletic talent even if they are stupid. He looks at intangibles that aren't speed, agility, etc so a guy can buy in. That is an awful to handle the CB position that relies so much on natural talent and skillsets.

he has hard on for drafting midget CBs too. (Terreance Wheatley in the 2nd, Javier Arenas, Ellis Hobbs, etc) and he just whiffs on CBs all the time. He's never been good at that position.

Not really

[ThaVirus]

I wouldn't be opposed to trading him in a season or two. I think he'll have a rough time when he hits 29/30 and starts losing his speed. He's short and not that fast to begin with so that won't be a good combo- Patrick Surtain all over again.

Of course, that would be conditional on our CB situation at that point. If it still looks like dogshit then we need to keep him. He'll at least be a solid starter into his early 30s due to his smarts and tackling ability.

Why would a GM want to trade for a curse:)

This staff's game is front seven/pass rush with an okay back end. Pretty much what the Giants do too. Tom Coughlin is part of the Parcells tree, so it's how these men roll, Romeo included.

Just need to get those crafty mobile BFF's on that DL. Takes time to find/develop those players and this team did the current staff no favors in that area. So, you got your Flowers. He gets burned now and then because there's no good enough pass rush/front seven.

Rookie salaries are not like they used to be.

It's not like he would get more had another team drafted him.

I could live with that, depending on trade offers. But if RAC stays here I doubt he would ever consider agreeing to trading him.

Did you watch games 1 & 2 of 2011?

[Brock]

You mean the ones where the entire team looked like they never played football before? Sure.

Nice how you tried to change the subject there ;)

But I was talking about, including when Flowers got beat for TD's by bigger, Taller WR's?

[themanwithnoname]

I certainly wouldn't complain if we got bigger corners that outplayed Flowers, but where are you people getting that Flowers is such a liability all of a sudden?

Right, because those guys don't do the same thing to taller corners. Revis is only 5'11 and he does pretty well.

[O.city]

How many corners are there in the league that are over 6 feet tall? Wr's are always going to be bigger than CB's.

[Dayze]

He ain't got shit on Warfield

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Did you watch games 1 & 2 of 2011?

Did you watch all his other career games where he's played at a near Pro Bowl level? Never faced a tall guy though!!!!!!

[A Salt Weapon]

He tries to draft for "smarts".

Like Poe, real textbook burner there. Surprised he choose football over being a doctor.

Attribute it to my lack of internet savvy or whatever, but who is that? Is it supposed to be someone of significance?

Not really. She made internet fame when she posted a series of videos to people who play a certain online game. Her youtube videos got a ton of hits and 4 chan adopter her as their mascot (queen) for a while.

Ahh hah! I've seen that Sorter's picture has been that for a while and just never knew/thought to ask who it was. From the pics in that link she seems like the typical over-use-of-make-up-flash-in-the-pan-internet-star. Definitely cute tho.

The Chiefs look like geniuses for locking up their star cornerback early, considering inferior players like Finnegan and Brandon Carr got bigger deals in free agency. It would also be nice if Justin Timberlake played him in a crazy dream sequence from a Richard Kelly movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdhois-aiYs). ooooh ... people around here are going to be pissed about that

about 1/2 the league has starting CBs that are 6'0'' or taller. Most are about 5'10 though

finding 5'9'' midgets is a lot rare though, guys like Brent Grimes, Flowers, Josh Wilson... being that small and trying to play the outside against WRs of today is probably one of the hardest things at the NFL level. So hats off to those guys for being able to play at a high level despite being the smallest at their position going up against guys like Megatron, Andre Johnson, etc.

[O.city]

Massive difference in 5"10 and 5"9 eh

[Ace Gunner]

shit on Warfield
