what if both of those guys suck?
look we are talking about a null issue anyway he will not be a chief

Look I like the draft as much as anyone but if you want to build the entire team that way and are going to turn your nose up at every FA, we're looking at 2013 as the earliest year of this team being good.

Mecca you think adalius thomas has any gas left in the tank?

POND_OF_RED · 02-01-2010, 02:39 AM

Who says Peppers won't adjust to the 3-4 as well as you all are thinking? It's all about taking a chance and I'd much rather take a chance on a guy that isn't going to cost around 30 million dollars

Mecca · 02-01-2010, 02:40 AM

He's athletic, that's really all it takes.

It's not like he's going to get repeatedly dropped into coverage.

Eh, I think he was a product of being on Baltimore, they continue to plug guys into that scheme and have them look good.

Call me crazy but I think Peppers is better at 30 than Kindle will ever be

Mecca · 02-01-2010, 02:43 AM

Kindle is a typical Texas guy a supreme athlete that has been poorly coached never produced to his level of talent. I personally like him for upside but he is risky..he also has character issues.

Sergio Kindle is basically an older version of Aaron Maybin.

No way it happens. This team isn't going to go out and spend 30 million dollars on one player when we have a lot more holes to fill. I don't care if we suck for the next 3 years as long as we get a solid nucleus of young talent in here. I got too sick of watching Carl make this team mediocre year after year by spending all his money in the FA market on guys on the downslope of their careers. This draft has a lot of promising OLB's to take a chance on so I'd much rather just do that. I'd much rather spend the money in FA on a NT and maybe a safety if we don't think Berry will be available.

Mecca · 02-01-2010, 03:00 AM

If you haven't noticed, there not being a cap is going to severely limit who is a FA.

POND_OF_RED · 02-01-2010, 03:02 AM

Which in turn will drive Peppers price through the roof. No thanks.

salame · 02-01-2010, 03:03 AM

I didn't say I thought we would get Peppers. I would bet money that we DONT get him. Would I take him? Hell Yes. I would love to have him. But it's about as realistic as us getting Peyton Manning or Andre Johnson

And if there's no cap why do you care about the money?

POND_OF_RED · 02-01-2010, 03:10 AM

Just because there isn't a cap doesn't mean Clark won't set one for his budget.
