Smashmouth Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 braylon signed for 3.5 mil, not 1 mil Braylon signed for 1 mil . if he gets 90 catches or makes the pro bowl he gets the other 2.5 Do you think Braylon even sniffs those incentives with Alex Smith at QB ?

Smashmouth Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 People, back away from the ledge. Three bottom line about our wr moves is that we may have a significantly better group this year than last. Not only are mason and burress better than edwards and cotchery if each play arty the level they did the last time they were on a football field, but we appear to have a 4th wr who can actually play wr. (as good as smith was as a swiss army knife, he was useless as a wr) Our floor is significantly lower, too - if burress is rusty and mason breaks down we're in serious trouble - but ignoring the upside is myopic Your right ignoring the upside is myopic but hopeing a 34 year old and 37 year old will be effective well into the playoffs is as well. Masons numbers tailed off last year and he was ineffective in the playoffs. Plaxico has not played the game in 2 years, has to learn a new offense, and has a swollen ankle (swollen not good at all) that becomes harder to recover from at an advanced age no matter how great a shape your in. Are these the kind of concernes we need as a playoff contender ? Dont get me wrong Ill be rooting for these guys as much as anyone but the age issues really concern me.

Dont forget to add in at least Turner and Kerley who should make the roster. They will take some of the burden off Plax and Mason during the regular season.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 So which "mistake" do you think could have been prevented??? There's a few in this thread alone...but I'm not one to argue on the validity of contraceptives and i hear time-travel is still in the works.

amuck Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 plax/mason for edwards/ cotchery, VERY BAD DEAL. HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH EDWARDS NOT COMING BACK AT ALL. BUT COTCHERY IS ( imo )BETTER THEN EATHER PLAX OR MASON. HOLMES/COTCHERY/KERLEY, THOUGH THIS LOOKED REALLY GOOD GOING INTO THIS YEAR. INSTEAD WE HAVE HOLMES/ VERY GOOD DEAL. PLAX/ DRUNK WHO SHOOTS HIMSELF MASON/ OLD MAN WITH COBWEDS ON HIS a$$. IMO WE TOOK A VERY BAD STEP BACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, YOU DON'T NEED TO PUT everything IN CAPS LOCKS OR IN WEIRD FORMATS LIKE THIS LIKE MY COMPUTERS DOS SYSTEM. END RANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm going to go with Braylon, because him signing for 1 M is just ridiculous. But they both hurt. A poll? Why a poll? Who cares what a stinking poll says. I want to know what Charlie Burp says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
