You're thoughts weren't needed. It gets annoying seeing a pissing match start any time anyone makes a comment they disagree with.

If these threads are so valuable, FH might as well create an auto-post any time a notable player is cut. Flowers may indeed be an exception, and I wasn't meaning to call out the OP or anything, but it is rather annoying to immediately see 2-3 threads of "we should sign X" any time a "name" player is cut.

Here are some annoying examples over the years:

So you show 4? :lol:

This thread was the wrong one to post what you did, this player is actually really good. I'd understand if it was about a UDFA guy that got cut, but not a solid probowl player.
 
Flowers is pretty good btw sign me up
 
Torn on this, of course I would love to have him, but I would also like to see what we got in Davis/Taylor/Aikens before we make any knee jerk reactions.

Has there ever been a time in the history of FH where the roster is so bereft of talent that almost anyone being cut is a potential upgrade to the Miami team?

One word: Ireland. No, two words: Parcells.

Worst rosters in team memory. Almost zero playmakers drafted. Skill positions slowest and least talented almost across the board. Depth -- laughable.

Don't blame people when they suggest picking up players. Especially if those released players are markedly better than stuff already on your 53.

Aikens is out of his league. Taylor played horrid in the snaps he had last year. Davis is a marginal slot DB. Project trying to develop.

Flowers is a real CB battle tested in the league.

Has there ever been a thread in which someone didn't complain about the thread and then someone complained about the complaining? :crazy:

Now the guy who complained about the complaining is complaining about the complaints directed at his complaints! That's right, folks, you can't make that up!

I really wasn't trying to give Skape a hard time either. I like him. I was just saying that him saying that was just as bad as the OP starting the thread.

No hard feelings from me, at all.
 
Has there ever been a time where Elle Clouds and I agreed on anything?

Today is that day.

This guy is an instant upgrade.

Fwiw, flowers can still ball...unlike most of the players that we "should" sign due to being cut.

exactly, just cuz there is a thread for every scrub, doesn't mean this one should be lumped in with it. his contract must suck in some way for them not to be able to trade him

Flowers contract was just one of the reasons.
Trading him won't be easy. Due $5.25 million this season, Flowers is just three years into a six-year, $49.35 million contract.

Teams aren't going to jump to pay that money to a corner who saw 95 of his peers grade higher in pass coverage last season, per Pro Football Focus. Despite his struggles, he was voted into the Pro Bowl despite just one interception over 928 snaps.

Part of his struggles were scheme-specific. Flowers didn't transition well into coordinator Bob Sutton's defense, getting burned in press coverage and allowing quarterbacks to compile a 103.9 passer rating against him in 13 starts.

Flowers, 28, made the Pro Bowl last season, when he had 68 tackles and an interception. But Dorsey prefers bigger corners, and prior to his release, Flowers, who is 5 feet 9, was one of only three of the 11 cornerbacks on the roster shorter than 6 feet.

He also wasn’t a great fit in new defensive coordinator Bob Sutton’s scheme, which relies a great deal on press-man coverage, and Flowers struggled both outside and inside on the way to posting a Pro Football Focus grade of minus-5.9, which was his worst since 2008.

But even after a rough 2013 season, his coverage grade of 35.5 ranks the fifth-highest of any cornerback over the last five seasons.
