Do you think it's possible?

That this off season there will not be TONS of threads everytime anyone gets released saying "we should sign him" ? I was going to joke about it, but there is even one about picking up Schottenheimer.

Just because someone is out there, or might be out there, doesn't mean that he would help the team. There are cap concerns(Arrington) , injury concerns( Petitgout) as well as character concerns (Moss, Owens).

I do like to discuss the possibilities some of these players might bring to the team, but please think about it before you post. There doesn't have to be 8 threads that the mods have to search out and merge for each and every player. There is also a thread specifically for free agents.

Okay, that being said, Go out and pick up Tony Romo from the Cowboys (A Joke):tongue:

It is sadly the off-season pastime of at least some fans from every team except possibly the current Super Bowl champ! :boohoo: They are like the "woodchucks" who prowl my neighborhood on the city's "big trash haul-away" days, hunting treasures among the broken lamps, dead lawnmowers, and used obsolete computers! :rolleyes2

Well, to avoid the 'junk threads', I've found that joining the VIP is worth it just for that purpose. If you want to avoid those senseless threads, that's one way around it...also, you can just not read them....

However, I usually read thru even the nonsensical threads just to see if there is some substance to them...

And I certainly agree with you...why would a thread be started about Shottsie joining us when he's a defensive specialist and we already have Capers ?? What good would he do us ?? As to every other FA player that will be available, you just have to face it...someone will think every FA could help us. EVERY single one ! I don't get it....

Its actually very absurd and the people who start these threads about the players who get released who obviously is a nutcase, or washed up, or injury problem, or a system player (Players who are only good because they succeed in the system they are in now and wont succeed in any different system (IE Kevin Curtis)) and wont help our team lack even the smallest amount of common sense

Somebody brought up the idea of hiring him as OC in one of the threads. :sidelol:

I think I remember that one...Incredible! There was another one about getting Don Shula out of retirement to be our HC

Happens all the time not only this board but I bet on every NFL homer board. Someone gets released and automatically they could be the next big signing and if we don't sign them there will be more than one post with the attitude we just let the next great HOF'er get away.

When going after players released the first thing any smart FO looks at is the VALUE that player and the position they play brings to the team in its current state. Some players are talented but not a good fit for the system or the coach.

Also, of course one needs to look at the reasons why they were releases. What is it simply cap / salary issues? How about if it is a head case, attitude person, an aging vet getting old before his time with no longer the value that their price tag carries, or a talented player who was a fish out of water in a new system and asked to be traded or released. A lot of reasons why guys with name recognition aren't signed by organizations.

I agree with you 100%. It would be nice if people would apply that logic before they post. That's also part of the reson that my check is on the way for VIP.

VIP is the way to go to avoid those threads

the offseason is boring and stories need to be made......talking about randy ina fins uni makes the offseason more interesting

Exceptional post, and yes VIP is the best way to avoid the myriad of get-this-guy threads. All that being said, what else are we supposed to do in the off season? Just dole out stars to reward good threads and "punish" bad ones, the thread starter will either get the drift or nothing you'll say will sway them from starting them anyway.
