People have now officially gone completely insane with this off season. A first ballot HOFer like Randy Moss was gotten for a 4th rounder. A more than solid veteran like Anquain Boldin could be had for a 6th round pick. Even a proven vet like Stevie Johnson was available for a "conditional" 4th round pick
Yet the mental giants who have never seen a WR or TE who WASN'T better than anyone we have on the roster, seem more than willing to part with a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a TE who seems to have managed 3 years in the league still can't seem to master the fundamentals of basic blocking. A guy you would hope to be a key element of your GL offense yet who has managed just ONE TD in 3 years.
He's a guy SOOOOOO talented that after seeing him start for most of the last 2 years, he has been passed on the Cardinal depth cart by a solid JAG FA, a rookie who hasn't played a snap in the NFL, and a guy (Ballard) who is lucky to walking without a limp. Yeah, THAT sounds like a guy I want to to spend a 2nd day draft pick on.
Just so I make sure I got this straight. Our guys suck. Everyone else is much better and easily worth whatever it takes to get them here. The fact that we already have not only the best TE ALREADY on the roster, bu he's the most impactful non-QB offensive player in the league; is NOT a factor. That's because the Geniuses on this board have already decreed that its a given that injuries will keep him from being a factor. Its like they have a direct pipeline from God.RIght?!
Hey I'm all for increasing the competition level at the TE group this TC. Go sign Finley, Keller, or Gonselez. Go sign Houstler after he's cut for all I care. The more the merrier. But BB should lose his GM card if he ever gave up please anything other than a 2016 7th round pick for him. Just listen to what you write before you keep writing the same drivel over and over. Because basically this is what you are saying.
" The Cardnals have a guy who has been starting for them for 2 years. They like him SOOOOO much that they signed a FA to replace him, drafted a 2nd round pick to replace him, and many think a slow ponderous gimp from last season can replace him on the roster. This SAME guy the Cards have gone out of their way to replace is the same one who it has been suggested we spend 2nd day draft capital to acquire."
Yeah, that makes just SOOOOOOOO much sense.
