Think We Missed A Gift with Blount

[Reddog]

Just sayin...Big bruising backs dont just appear this late in the season. I think BASK could have kept him in line for our run this season.

I heard he was going to sign with AZ, but then he got high.

He's already familiar with NE, and they with him. Cards might not have had a chance whether they wanted him or not.

 

[Solar7]

Nah, I don't want a mediocre player with an attitude problem screwing up the chemistry of this team.

I'd have accepted Ben Tate's attitude, because I think he's actually talented.

 

[football karma]

you have to figure Arians still talks to Pitt staff --- and i am sure the Pitt staff just killed the guy

as i posted elsewhere -- a little unusual to see members of the team publicly saying its better that he left. That says something

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I think they had to decide which back to put a claim on, as they couldn't take a chance to wind up with both...too bad, we need him.

I heard we were interested but we had put in a claim on Tait so we couldn't pursue Blount because we might be stuck with both contracts.

How about just going for it all and trading Fitzgerald for A. Peterson. You could extend his career by alternating him with Ellington. Now that would make us the ultimate contender.

I'm not even going to go into how moronic this idea is lol

Or we could petition the courts to let OJ Simpson out on work release and plug him in. Or we could put bananas on a moonbounce, take dogs to the cat park and grow an orchard of ovens in Nebraska.

Trading Fitz for a guy who beats kids and can't play the rest of this year? Lay off the pot. Your brain has been damaged.

I'm not sure exactly how rather rules work in this situation--

But once Tate was claimed, what would have stopped the Cards from offering Blount a contract? He cleared waivers.

 

[Catfish]

We didn't miss anything-----we are 32nd in order right now due to our leading the NFL in W/L percentage. He never made it that far before he was picked by a team. We never were in the picture.

Tate and Blount were released the same day and each team only has 24 hours to file the claim, meaning Cards would've had to submit both claims at once with worst case scenario being they got both or none. Once Blount cleared, he could choose wherever and going back to a system he knows is easier than harassing to the Cards.

 

[Austin Zonie]

I think Blount cleared waivers and Tate did not. If we wanted Blount, he'd be a Cardinal.

[sunsfan88]

I heard he started over Gray today AND scored a TD.

 

[Cheesebeef]

i think he would have been a good get.

 

[NJCardFan]

I heard he started over Gray today AND scored a TD.

All because Gray overslept and missed practice Friday.

 

[Phrazbit]

Had Blount been claimed off waivers what contract would the team have been on the hook for? Thats the only way we get him. Once he cleared waivers I don't think anyone else was going to sign him while the Pats had an interest. He knows the team and coaches and has had success there.

 

[Passepartout]

Think that Blount wore out his welcome with the Steelers. Would he had done the same thing with the Cardinals? Maybe it is a blessing in disguise.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

78 yards and two TDs...he would've been nice to have out in SEA with those conditions.
