Cards interested in Malcolm Floyd

[Crazy Canuck]

how about someone who's not old for a WR with a pretty bad history of injuries? you know... someone that might actually cost a decent amount of money.

oh sorry... those guys are all pretty much gone.

He'll be 30 in September. Hardly ancient for the position.

 

[Ed Burmila]

i have a hard time believing this because the Chiefs, a pretty solid organization who has made a lot of good moves over the last years just made a completely stupid decision. sorry, we own that game. not the Chiefs. we'll see how he plays this season.

I don't know about their organizational decision-making. They spent the 3rd pick in the draft on a 3-4 DE to fill space. That's not exactly $50 million well spent.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Much older? Jeez, Floyd is two years older than Breaston. Get a grip, man.

if he was 26 and Breaston was 24, you'd have a point, but player fall off after they hit 30 and that's where Floyd is. Like it or not, the guy has a year of "prime" left most likely... and then we'll be looking for HIS replacement.

Floyd, for his career also has averaged over 4 yards-per-catch more than Breaston has. That is a huge difference, especially considering that neither Fitz, Doucet or Roberts are burners.

what kind of difference does it make if he's constantly off and on the field Renz and can't stay healthy? seriously, look at his games played throughout his career. do you think he's going to get MORE healthy as he gets older?

 

[Cheesebeef]

He'll be 30 in September. Hardly ancient for the position.

did i call him ancient? no. so, it's not ancient... but it's not young either and it's closer to the end of his prime than the beginning of it... which hasn't been all that impressive, not to mention he's been incredibly injury prone. Do you expect that problem to get better or worse as he gets older Canuck?

 

[Cheesebeef]

seriously guys... a 30 yard old guy who misses 6 game per year, averages 400 yards per season and 3 touchdowns is someone that excites you?

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

meanwhile, if we sign Floyd, we're basically signing a much older, much more injury prone player than Breaston who's only had two seasons of 700 yards out of 5 and has never even sniffed 1000... even though he's been playing with one of the best QBs in the game.

again... someone else's old left-overs, who hasn't had as much success as our own guy and is more injury prone. doesn't make sense.

You don't make sense...jackass!

 

[WarnerHOF]

Would much rather pay for Vincent Jackson. If we get only get this guy or James Jones than it's a fail.

Given the dry heat of Arizona... better!

Malcolm Floyd would be a solid fit here. Cheesebeef, I think you're being a bit extreme in thinking his career is almost over and that he can't contribute. He might not be James Jones, or a #1 receiver, but he brings something to the table that our other WRs don't. The flat speed will certainly help. If Kolb is who we hope he'll be, he'll have a very rounded-out corps of receivers to throw to, if Floyd is in the mix.

It has to be remembered that we're just asking for a #2 WR her. We have Fitz, anyone we get is going to benefit from that. Breaston walked or we let Breaston walk, however it can be sliced he's still gone and we need someone to fill that spot. Floyd would do, forsure. We're not going to get someone who's never been injured and is in the prime of their youth to come in here for any reasonable price that's just not gonna happen. lol

Would "rather" have Andre Johnson, Greg Jennings, and the ghost of 24 year old Jerry Rice. Over here in RealityLand, Jones and Floyd are the alternatives.

Ridiculous assertion and expectation

We have a #1 stud receiver already. All we need is a solid complimentary guy and Floyd fits the bill. It's irresponsible to pay two receivers $10+mil per season. (by the way, I'd much rather take that money and put it towards a Fitz extension anyway)

We were so blessed to have Fitz and Q for a long time to the point where some dont expect success unless we have two Top 10 receivers on the payroll. Good teams can win with just one impact receiver.

I imagine this makes some convoluted sense to you. It's pure gibberish to me.

You know it's funny you have to take a sentence I screwed up. I was really busy, with some rl stuff, and was trying to get past this article, when everybody jumped onboard.

The funny thing is, you have to post a simple sentence I screwed up as if it makes my argument null and void, it doesn't. But that's more sophistry. I actually made my point about 5 times give or take so yeah, one sentence screw up is meaningless, my posts had a redundant factor to them.

The fact is we're on the wrong thread, so I'm not going to go into why the going about a process in an unoptimal fashion somehow means we did things right is an asinine position regardless of the apparent outcome. (because everyone is forgetting about the opportunity cost not factored in)

Perhaps that means something to you, and you can buy the bs, but I can't. Funny how you must not like me, since you have to take that so seriously and my thoughts were made well known on many posts, yet somehow you have to nitpick the one that doesn't really matter if I said it right or what not, read the other posts, only an idiot can't understand what I'm saying. Not saying you are, because it's obvious you are trying to bust my balls via technicalities...and not on actual substance.

But that said, and this thread being about Floyd, I'm done talking about Kolb, and if other people don't know what I have to say, that's on them, a three year old should be able to figure it out.

I would get Floyd in a heartbeat, and it looks like we just lost are #2. Kolb needs weapons. I like SJ and ED, but one's not proven, the other has shown to be injury prone. They are good guys to have on the team, but we need more than them, Roberts, and Fitz.

RealityLand isn't as much fun, but there are fewer ghosts.

Kent Somers is reporting on Twitter that he's heard that the Cardinals have no real interest in Malcolm Floyd.

 

[SuperSpck]

Malcolm Floyd is reporting that he has no real interest in Kent Somers.
Or ham sandwiches.

But I like Kent, so I guess I'll keep him.
The ham can leave.

You're being a bit insensitive to the ham don't you think?

 

[SuperSpck]

The ham can stay if it promises to be more like chicken or turkey.
Maybe tunafish.

I'm hearing Arizona or Minnesota for Malcom Floyd. There's some other interest, but those are the hot ones.

I don't know who to believe, but this is from the Chargers' beat writer.

 

[Evil Ash]

I don't know who to believe, but this is from the Chargers' beat writer.

This is the fun of this chaos as neither do the reporters. One source will tell you one thing and another something else.

Something tells me the cards sources have been quieter than usual

 

[sportznutt]

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune is "hearing" that free agent Malcom Floyd will either sign with the Cardinals or Vikings.

Acee posted this on Twitter late Thursday. Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic quickly tweeted in response that the Cardinals "are not showing interest in Floyd." In other words, it seems apparent that Floyd's agent is using Arizona as a leverage ploy. We'd now consider Minnesota the heavy favorite to land him.

[sportznutt]

Vikings also interested in James Jones.........would they sign both?

 

[WarnerHOF]

In before Cards intend to replace Steve Breaston with Antwan Randle El.

 

[sportznutt]

We've got company!

The 49ers have reportedly joined the hunt for free agent Malcom Floyd.

The Niners aren't messing around with Michael Crabtree's injury. Two sources have reported they pursued a trade with Chad Ochocinco, and they are now in discussions with Floyd's camp. They appear to be aiming higher than just an early-season fill-in.
