But the Portland reporter........



Sometimes the best reporting comes from the enemy!

 

[QuebecCard]

Can he play Sunday

Two games in four days?

I think there's a rule against that.

This helps explain why Philly would do it.

 

[SeattleCard]

This is a huge move!!!! Awesome!

 

[PDXChris]

Never has been and is there anyone who didnt actually already know that?

Nah, just reiterating so I don't feel dumb!

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Freak yeah! Hope for a ring has been restored!

 

[Proximo]

Let’s get it!! Maybe an extension when Maxx comes back next year so we can have two stud TE’s?

You are using the term stud extreemly losely, it does not apply to either.

SK continues to be a VG GM, this year.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Essentially, we have 5 draft picks and a roster of

1 RB under contract
3 WRs under contract (one being Andy Isabella)
0 TEs under contract
3 EDGE players under contract and one of them (Kennard) is likely to be cut
2 CBs under contract

Yes this is the logical outcome of a gm who has to resort to trades to overcome drafting deficiencies. Luckily he’s been pretty damn good with his trades. So even though we give up draft capital and $$$ they end up hitting. Let’s hope he keeps success rate high. Like Ertz. Like the move.

I think so yes

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I called this all off season.

A lot of people in the board (and even the media, if I recall correctly) have been calling ertz to az going back to last season due to his contract issues.

Ertz is an all-pro 3 time pro-bowler and 30 years old.

The talent has been seen and age is good. I’m down to see if he’s hungry for another Super Bowl

 

[Cards_Campos]

He will have a lot of opportunities with this offense. Much more than he did at the Eagles. And he was productive there. He played well last night

 

[BritCard]

I'm not concerned about the costs. 5th round picks rarely work out and Gowan obviously wasn't quite what they hoped (yet) seeing as Whitaker was getting snaps over him.

I'm more concerned about the lack of extension and how much he might cost going forward.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Good to see Keim being proactive.

And by “proactive” you mean “reactive” to the maxx injury.

 

[football karma]

it will be interesting to see which is true:

1. Ertz is a declining player as demonstrated by his lack of production

or

2. Ertz was in the middle of a dysfunctional offense with questionable QB the last two year as demonstrated by his lack of production

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

They loved him so much he fell to another team . . . in the 6th round. Okay.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Makes sense.

I mean better then what he have now. Mark Andrews wasn’t available lol.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah, I am aware. We are talking about the current player, not his past.

Just like Todd Heap, well he only had 2 Pro Bowls

 

[ajcardfan]

Moral of the story, the salary cap isn't logical!

I remember arguing 20 years ago, or so, on this board with Skkorp and others about the salary cap. At the time, the team used it as an excuse to not add good players. i never bought that, because other teams blew right past the cap every year and then did accounting.

Glad to see Keim being aggressive.
