I know!

Draft Daddy a 1st round QB for ****'s sake already!

"if our best player gets hurt we will most likely not win games" Geeeee no shit , great analysis

No. He's with a qb who doesn't care. Mccown cares not at all about turnovers so he will give Bowe the opportunity for jump balls. The browns don't have jc either.

Maclin is a lateral move

Grubbs and the line as a whole, is still a big question mark...I still HATE the fact we got rid of albert and again used a LATERAL move to waste a 1st round pick on a OL..I still dont think this line is as good as if we wouldve just kept albert and went a different direction....other than fisher.

We are still reeling from losing flowers, & carr beofre that, and now berry too...I mean tyvon branch 1 year deal when we LOST 3 franchise players over like 4 years?

I dunno...

I wouldnt be too surpised if the wheels fall off this thing this season

There isn't one worth taking this year.

That's just where we disagree. Maclin is such an upgrade.

They aren't done with the oline. Branch is depth. Parker is the starter.

How is he THAT much of an upgrade?

Explain this to me....I mean Dbowe had 15 TD's in a season

edit: I mean even if he is a little of an upgrade ....is that worth 10 million of dead money?

umm ... no

If he stays healthy, Maclin is a big upgrade in terms of fit,consistency and explosion.

It's about trust.

Bowe was unreliable as a route runner, and had critical drops.

Maclin is a precise route runner, and has sure hands.

Smith wil trust Maclin to be where he is supposed to be, and that he will make the catch.

Alex Smith will never have given Bowe the opportunities to make the kind of plays that he excels at making.

This is huge deal.

Anything the team can do to make Smith feel 'brave' is a good thing.

Yeah, KC's pass defense has really been reeling without Carr, Flowers, and Berry. :doh!:

Do you actually watch the games or just read the articles the next day in The Claythan Times?

even if I agreed with all of this, i dont see how its worth 10 million in dead money do make this move to slightly upgrade the WR1 spot

Yah losing berry, flowers and carr was nothing youre right

we can continually lose great players, year after year, and rely on the parkers of the world to bail us out every year

It's probably not, but that mistake was made in giving Bowe that big ass contract 2 years ago, not switching to Maclin. Sticking with Bowe just because you screwed up and gave him a big contract would just be compounding the problem.

I can see that logic...But I guess I was thinking we already have the 10 million in dead money so I mean unless its a YOUNG receiver (macalin isnt young) then I would probably just ride it to clear the dead money...

I dunno..I am all for improvements, just hate the 10 million in dead $$$
