or signed Hutch and Chester Taylor.

We STILL could have signed Hutchinson after signing Edge.

Hell, I'd have settled for Tom Ashworth and Mike Flanagan to give Edge some kind of protection.

I'm hoping, and perhaps this is blind hope, that Edge will get a fire in his ass and start realizing that he's going to have to take a leadership role and is going to have to start leading by example in hopes that the rest of the team follows. He's been in the league long enough to know that bitching about the lack of carries he's getting and second guessing his decision to sign here isn't going to do anything to make matters better.

I understand some players aren't the Rah Rah type, however for the money he's being paid and with the role he was expected to play when being brought here, what's expected of him is higher than the expectation level for most.

This thread also contains some of the most loopy posts I have ever seen.

It will never happen but had we signed Larry johnson or Alexander or any top RB in the league (ie James) the same junk would be posted. Bench Alexander! he is a BUM. Stupidest FA ever!!!!!!!

He's good SWD but do you really think we couldn't have spent the money better in another way?

For all he's done, good player or not he's a flop this year at least, a dramatic flop.

His YPC is lower than Arrington's was, all we got out of the guy was some video screens, whining and black shoes.

Well, a beat up E. Smith got us over 900 yards and he even missed a couple of games to boot. A really good RB is gonna get some yards no matter how bad the OLine. I think James didn't spend enough time during the pre-season to get to know this line and now for the past 3 games has just thrown up his hands and decided to take the easy way out. Blame someone else.

Yeah, Edges act is really wearing me out, it's like he's the only one suffering and having a panic attack like he's playing twister with lepers or something.

Emmitt had a good cry then manned up and played, Edge just shut up and play, or fake an injury, that's done here too.

Edge's ego is geting the best of him. He should have known it wasn't going to turn around in Zona so quickly. And he's proving to the world that it's not the RB that matters--it's the O-line. Lucky for him that Offensive Tackles aren't as marketable as Halfbacks.

Well Edge, you were the one who decided to skip part of the off season OTA's and decided you didn't need to play in pre-season. Take a look in the mirror when you whine about losing. Winners put in the effort to win. Losers collect a check, and find a coach who will coddle them. Which one are you?

some of you guys are foolish. if i were James, i'd be frustrated as hell too. he's an all-pro averaging what? 1.5 yards per carry. that's embarassing. and its his fault? he should be benched?

you hate him for coming to the cardinals and giving this team a glimmer of hope?
you hate him because our offensive line sucks hardcore and all should be released?
you hate him because he cant run the ball because of nothing is created for him, except for a wall of defenders going exactly where he's supposed to be?

James is no savior and isnt going to make things great just by his precense on the field. this team's biggest weakness is what James NEEDS.

James is stupid.

Let's just say it out loud, he's stupid.

He watched this oline and thought it'd be ok, jokes on him, stupid.

Stupid

Stupid

Stupid

Well not JUST on him, we got some of that flying egg on our face too, I'll personally relish the Rams game and replay it if my wife ever cheats on me with my entire male family members and set of friends who all get together and tell me while laughing at me naked in my dreams.

If I ever get THAT feeling at least I'll have experience with it.

I hate him because he's beautiful.
I know it's wrong, because Kelly LeBrock told me I shouldn't. But, there it is. I do.

if Edge wants the Answer as to why he left Indy, all he has to look at is his bank account. He choose $ over winning and is getting everything he deserves.

Easy cheese, easy, the man needs to come to grips with the fact he's no longer cool just because he put on our uniform, all the money in the world won't help him through that.

Give him time, give him time.

This is why I keep JJ Arrington on my bench in my FF Keeper League. He's gonna be a star when he gets into another system. Mark. It. Down.
