    Let the Beanie watch begin

    I'm not questioning your background in fact, I find your posts interesting and I always make it a point to read them. As for your comments on Graves, could it be that agents don't like dealing with him because he's a tough negotiator? A good negotiator always seeks to gain a psychological...

    Let the Beanie watch begin

    You're right, Stafford's contract has absolutely nothing to do with Beanie's, as I was using him to make a point about how position averages for proven players can't be applied to rookie salaries. Regardless of the position they play, the top 10 spots will typically make more than the NFL...

    Let the Beanie watch begin

    I agree with you but I'm talking about rookie contracts - where the pay scale can't be measured against those for proven NFL players. Staffords' contract sure doesn't look average to me. Neither one of knows what's happening between Graves and Wells agent so I'm curious as to what insight you...

    Let the Beanie watch begin

    Why is Graves always blamed for not getting the deal done? Oh, I forgot - he should open the vault for Beanie and give him everything. Wells is a RB which is a premier position and the signing of a D-lineman at 32 means aboslutely nothing as his agent isn't going to slot him based upn Hood's...

    Sources: Hawks Hot After Amare..

    Ain't happening. There's no way that Rick Sund will trade Marvin Williams or Al Horford so give up on this fantasy. Josh Smith is the guy they're looking to move but there aren't many (or any) teams willing to pay the trade kicker. Childress, the pick and Speedy Claxton will be the only other...

    The Cardinals' Defense 2009

    I'm really excited about Calais Campbell. He's got all of the physical tools and seems to have great intangibles. I loved the way he stepped in between Boldin and Haley. That was a bold move for a rookie. I think everyone's overreacting to Davis comment. The other team gets paid to play as...

    Cards re-open Dansby, Wilson contract talks

    That is good news and I do think that his deal gets done. I'm not convinced that Dansby really wants to test the uncapped market in 2010 mainly due to injury risk. Besides, I'm sure his agent is astute enough to know that the value of a dollar is much greater in 2009 than it will be in 2010...

    Strategy...

    I couldn't agree more. Hood is/was always an average CB who plays hard and is a real pro. Unfortunately, he just makes too much money especially when he can be replaced by younger and cheaper guys who'll be just as effective. I think the young guys on the D will surprise this year -...

    Why not just trade Hood?

    You must not have seen Mcfadden play...he has ball skills and can really turn his hips - something that Hood lacks. I like Hood and think he's a real pro but not at that price. Ralph Brown can replace him and although Toler is raw, I think he'll surprise us...

    Our Division ;Who had the best draft?

    I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Nate Davis has a learning disability related to dsylexia - which impairs his reading comprehension as well as the ability to express himself through writing. He's primarily a visual learner so I'm amazed at what he's been able to accomplish. My hat's off...

    Florio reports McFadden about to decide between us, Dolphins, Steelers and Eagles

    I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion as we wouldn't be on the list without a competitive offer. An agent's job is to shop his client around to get the best deal possible so the first team a player visits doesn't necessarily mean anything - unless you're willing to pay above market...

    Cardinals Staying In-House

    Dansby's real value shouldn't be measured in stats as his athletic ability allows the Cards to run many of their pass defense schemes - especially those where Wilson is blitzing or playing in the box. His talent would be wasted on the outside chasing QBs especially since he has the ability to...

    Merrill Hoge is an idiot Super Bowl addition

    I make it a point to not watch Merrill Hodge so I didn't get to hear his analysis but the only thing that matters is how the Cards offense matches up with the Steelers D and vice versa. The last time I watched a game O-lines played against D-lines..WRs against DBs..etc. He's an ex-football...

    Does Breaston's success make it easier to trade Boldin?

    I grew up in the STL and have been in Houston for 15 years. I think you and I may be the only Cards fans in town. I have my sons here with me but unfortunately, I've failed as a father - they're Cowboys fans.

    Does Breaston's success make it easier to trade Boldin?

    I don't think this franchise falls apart if Q is traded and we've proven that we can win without him Yes, it comes down to business and the fact is, Q is going to wear down at some point as his style of play is not conducive to longevity. I say move him while he still has value.

    Replay on Fitz td that was overturned

    I thought the outside of his toe touched the ground before he came down on the line - which should have given him a TD. It was a tough call so I don't blame the refs for that one. This was a very tough game to call and they did make several mistakes. I'm not sure if you taped the game but go...

    Another Rumor

    I'm a Boldin fan but do have concerns about his injury history. He plays like a RB which increases the chance of injury and as a result, his performance level will decrease with an injury this year. I think now is the time to trade him as his value will is lowered if that happens.

    Ram's Jackson loses accrued year of NFL service

    I actually think this is a smart move on his part. I'm a St. Lousian (Cards fan for life) and have been following this quite closely. The Rams thought he'd give in on this point but now he's gained leverage. The lifespan of a NFL RB is what - 3 to 5 years? Given that, I'd be more concerned...

    Official: Childress Going to Greece

    Come on, give us a little sympathy for one day. I just can't believe this and the really sad part is that we didn't get anything for him and we'll also have to renounce his rights to free up the cap hold. This is setting an interesting precedent and I''m sure that other players will do the...

    Looking at Lue

    It's easy to keep your turnover count down when you rarely bring up the ball and all you do is dribble in the same spot before taking a shot i.e. a bit of a ball hog.

    Looking at Lue

    As a Hawks fan, I wouldn't put much faith in that profile. Lue can shoot (a little streaky at times) and doesn't mind the pressure of taking the last shot. That's about it as he gets abused on D, is not a PG as he doesn't have the skills and vision to run an offense. Yeah he's got a nice...

    Ford/Simmons on Shaq/Marion deal

    Man, I couldn't agree more as I thought the Pacers played much better ball without O'neal and I don't understand how anyone can think that he can can stay healthy for a full year. I'll give him credit for taking the risk but this ain't exactly the Celtics part deaux. Of course Ford has his own...

    Aeneas to mentor / coach DRC?

    Agree completely however Aenas can show DRC what it takes to be a great player. It's up to DRC to use whatever knowledge /guidance he gets from Aenas to become a great player.
