Antonio Smith...

[Shane]

Seriously! Calais is actually looking to be an upgrade over Smith and while not all where Smith fans, I dont think anyone really thought that would be the case.

I totally thought he would be an upgrade. A. Smith is the epitome of just average. Calais has more physical talent in his pinky than Smith will ever have.

Dansby is not worth the money he will demand! We can pay a very good younger MLB and still upgrade our roster in other areas.

	Snaps	Tackles	TFL	Sacks	Hits	Pres.	PD's	Cost
Smith	483	17	2	2	7	15	1	5 y / 35 mill.
CC	416	29	3	3.5	4	17	4	4 y / 3.405 mill.

Did coaches/scouts/GM know what they were doing on this one or what.

Plus blocked kicks.

Well, we do have a first round draft pick this year. Any of the 3 USC linebackers would have filled a void (move Highsmith to OLB and insert a LB). There is also this time period to sign players they call Dansby. I'm sure a cheaper alternative is available than signing Dansby to a long term contract. I like Dansby quite a bit, but he's not worth the money he makes, and certainly is not irreplaceable.

This coaching staff has shown that they aren't going to plug a rookie into the starting line-up, no matter how high they were drafted.

Is Dansby the best MLB in the NFC? No, I don't think so either. But he is a complete LB in that he can rush the passer, drop into coverage, and stuff the run. He's got size and speed that gives us a lot of options when he is on the field. He fits our defense very well, and I feel he is as important to our D as Wilson.

Yes, we've been over-paying for him for the last two years; but, I don't see anyone likely to be available without suffering a big drop-off in production. I don't think Highsmith can or will replace him as I don't see Whiz/Davis wanting to get smaller at the MLB spot.

For the record, I expect Dansby will finally get his Pace/A.Smith money elsewhere next year. I just hope our D doesn't take the big step backwards that I think is going to happen.

Go Cards!!!

Will we still get any compensatory picks if Dansby signs elsewhere even those he's been tagged the past two years?

 

[splitsecond]

How long have you been a diehard Cards fan...seriously?

How long have you been such a crotchety cards fan? And how relevant is it to the discussion at hand, and the fact that probably no one other than Antonion himself could answer your question?

Whether he was franchised in the past doesnt matter in the comp pick equation.

Why don't you give us a fact. I don't mind goofiness but you won't gain favor at my expense. You can try but I take great pains to expose people who exploit others. You have stated no facts and you are not funny. You have misrepresented my original idea and I take offense. I am not a big internet tough guy but I won't tolerate your kind of sarcasm.

The reason I asked how long you have been a fan is because most of us seasoned fans treat each other with respect. I really think you are a new Cards fan riding on their success. That is fine but don't step on my toes. I have been a fan for thirty years and I talk with conviction and passion about my CARDS. You, let me know your story(you have been a fan for fifty years and you like to joke around...cool).

I joke around about nearly everything, and I thought the question was ripe for a humorous answer mainly because it is absolutely ridiculous that Antonio has that as his picture.

Just because you are not amused by it doesn't mean I lack respect for you. No need to jump on my case because I can't answer your question and make a joke instead. I may be new to this board, but I am a regular internet user/message board junkie and a lot of the time I feel like this place could use a little (sometimes a lot) of lightening up. It wasn't anything personal until you decided to accuse me of being a bandwagoner. I thought that insult was out of play as of February?

In any event, sorry to ruin your serious thread. I will move along now.
