Why do you love Pioli so much???? Seriously.... Everytime I question anything he does, you get all in an uproar. What is the connection there? Oh and please give me the he's the GM you aren't qualified to question him crap again.

Give me one thing you disagree with that he has done. Prove that you aren't his secret admirer. Do his glasses do it for you?

Wasn't this the bastard that was hurt all the time? I remember a thread about a lamb with a ginormous name that was broken all the time.

This sounds to me like a Nap Harris type retread. He got PT in St Louis (obviously, since he lead the team in tackles). If he was good why is he on the street. If his leading the team in tackles is so wonderful, why did he get a 1 year deal?

This doesn't sound to me to be a Diamond in the Rough situation. This sounds like the dude doesn't have the goods. And it's not like St. Louis is stacked at LB, like Baltimore was when they let Preist go (IIRC).

I don't think there are too many people that are clamoring to have Nap Harris back.

He lead the Rams in tackles for 4 seasons and I know there defense sucked, but the guy is 27 and has some experience. They didn't sign him for a ton of money and they signed him on a one year contract. Tinoisamoa > Zach

Tino turned down the Patriots to sign with Chicago instead. What makes you think he would've considered KC? Pioli probably knew better, hence the reason there was no public interest.

The only reports I've read say (or imply) that the Patriots didn't make him an offer, and that he had the two basically identical offers from Chicago and Buffalo to choose from. Have you got a link to back up your claim about the Patriots getting turned down? I'd love to read about any new info you can offer on this.

Just my take on it. IIRC the order of events was: PinoTino flew to N.E. for a visit; he left; the Pats signed Paris Lenon. Some say the Pats decided he didn't fit the 3-4 but I find it weird that the Pats showed that much interest in a guy, had him in the building, and then he walks out and signs with Chicago. I'd like to know what the contract he got from the Bears looks like, and compare it to what Lenon got from the Pats, to see if there were enough differences there for him to warrant choosing Chicago over New England or if the Pats just thought Lenon was a cheaper alternative.

In slight defense of the Pioli-questioners, I do find it interesting that Pioli hasn't signed more players this offseason and/or brought a bunch in for tryouts. If the roster's as bad as some of you claim, you would think a huge turnover is in order... unless Pioli thinks the players weren't as much of the problem? Maybe he actually likes the youth on the team better than players that he could go get, which would actually go against the very point being argued...

I think their might be more to this than some people believe, especially with the resigning of Jarrad Page.

And I agree with you about the depth. I think there is a pretty good chance Zach gets hurt this year. Who's backing him up??? Please don't say Dacus.

But Dacus is just the tyope of scrub that you are advocating. He could be the one that gets away!!!

Coincidentally, this is my problem with Pioli. He didn't bring more guys in.

He started on a shitty ass team. So ****ing what? Harris led the team in tackles the year before OUR horrible ****ing worthless waste of space defense ****ing fired his pussy ass. Just because he played doesn't mean he is good. At this point, I'd take some leadership over a worthless piece of ass that is a little younger. And if you are looking for I'mnotgoingtospellouthislongass****ingname to provide leadership, then, well, I guess you want to be like St. Louis.

Here's some interesting news. Pioli has a hot new prospect and I know Hunt is already going to say I told you so since he confirmed with us that Pioli is a shrewd evaluator of talent...

Here's the pick of the new prospect..
