    Brown traded to Raiders

    I see I'm late to this thread but no way in hell would I give up the #12 pick for an aging head case. Would he make the offense better? Yes. But do you pass on the next (potential) Hall of Famer for a guy on the wrong side of 30 who seems to be all about "me". No thanks hard pass.

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    "Whoosh" Passes open hand over head. I have read your posts. You have stated you were in favor of releasing Hawk. So have I. I guess the difference is you keep insisting he was released also due to salary cap savings, and I've said salary likely had little if anything to do with it. You were...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    Considering league veteran minimum is just under $1 mil I would still consider that a low offer. Since you don't think Hawk is worth that much you are questioning Marvin Lewis' ability to judge defenses, or perhaps Lewis thinks AJ may be better suited to playing the middle in a 4-3 to which I...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    Oh and That probably made my point better than anything I've said. If he's not worth having around at a bargain basement price than why have him on the roster at all? PS I will go on second guessing Marvin Lewis as long as you feel free to second guess Ted Thompson. Either one has more...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    HRE - You bring up a valid point about the ghosts of the NFC Championship game and the exorcism. Not one I had considered. However, had AJ the value he once did he would still be a Packer. Wimm - of course it's about cost vs. value. That is my point. I think we all know Jones was a weak link...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    Unfortunately Wimm that doesn't prove your assumption the cap was one of two primary factors. The fact there is one experienced ILB is irrelevant, since TT is willing to start rookies or second year players. I'm speculating TT plans to resign both Raji and Guion. Both will come cheap. Raji only...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    In my opinion the circumstances indicate the cap savings was a secondary consideration. TT could've kept both Hawk and Jones while signing Cobb, Bulaga and the draft picks and not damaged the cap for the future. Therefore, in both cases the logical deduction is TT believes the odds are the...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    Sorry. I realize you don't know me well enough to know my dry sense of humor. That being said, for the last few years some people here have ragged vehemently about how Hawk was slow and needed replacing. I more often than not defended him as at the least steady, capable, dependable and...

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    I would speculate many posters here would comment not having Hawk or Jones anywhere near the defense has already improved it.

    Compensatory Picks Announced

    I heard Ted Thompson had to beg Goodell not to take away one of the 6th rounders to punish the Packers for foisting that human turnstyle off on someone else.

    Jumal Rolle

    Lots of people are ragging on TT over the Rolle loss. I agree it seems in hindsight especially to be a mistake. I even questioned it at the time. However, TT is most likely human and therefore prone to making a mistake. As long as this one doesn't turn out to be on the order of say Jerry...

    Bears support change in OT rule (effect of GB/Seahawks game)

    I agree with longtimefan's premise. I liked the thrill of sudden death but since we're looking for both sides to have an equal chance of winning the game and the rules have already been altered forever (we're not going back to sudden death now) I think coming up with a way for both sides to get...

    Bears support change in OT rule (effect of GB/Seahawks game)

    What decides the game? Is there a time limit as in they play an entire extra quarter or some portion of one? Or is your version more like the college version where whoever scores a touchdown that isn't matched wins?
