Player Signing Patriots are signing Patrick Chung

[Deus Irae]

So by that logic, anyone that says Slatter is a great special teamer must be rationalizing the keeping of a lousy wide receiver. Personally I think right now you are doing a terrible job of defending your lousy analyzing.

Then you don't know the definitions of rationalize.

 

[AzorianPats]

Ehh he'll be cut sometime during TC

 

[resdubwhite]

They did what now?

 

[patsfan-1982]

Brandon Meriweather or Steve Gregory would have been a better re-sign. Chung is pure garbage

 

[strngplyr]

Why does everyone think we're still in "sign impact starter" mode? That ended 2 weeks ago. We're in "fill in the roster to 70-75" mode right now.

The over reaction here is hilarious, Chung has 11 pages in 2 hours declaring the end of the world.

If the Wendell situation taught us anything: always wait for the terms.

Until we know the contract details, it's hard to read into the nature of the signing.

Pffft. Stop rationalizing and start analyzing.

Chung, out of the three, play the best defense and is still a good STer.

This makes sense to me. Chung is an abysmal starting safety, but an upgrade on defense compared to the typical Je'Rod Cherry/Nate Ebner special teamer.

I presume he came cheap, and I can't imagine this will change draft priorites one bit.

 

[Coach42]

I can't remember a player in the BB era who left under similar terms to Chung and was later resigned. Kind of unprecedented, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting. Is the 09 draft class totally redeemed? Lol.

 

[Deus Irae]

Why do the usual suspects have to come into a thread where they know people are going to be blowing off steam about a signing, and piss all over people because they are blowing off steam about a signing? They know what they are going to see in this thread before they click on it. I started off with a joke and a couple of gifs for fun, and someone *****ed about the gifs as 'drama'. Even long time homers have posted some 'negative' things in this thread. Why shouldn't they? Everyone knows that Chung was a failure the first time around. Everyone knows that Chung was a failure in Philly. Everyone knows that this pick will be greeted with a range of thought/emotion, and that people will move on from there in hopes that a better alternative than the current group is eventually found.

Coming in here and crying about the reaction is tantamount to going into the "Jets suck" thread and complaining about posters who are saying that the Jets suck.

This is the kind of signing that makes sense if you do it AFTER the draft, because you didn't get the safety you were looking for. It doesn't make sense making this move before the draft.

Only if there's a significant amount of guaranteed money involved.

 

[Jlaff]

Well, let's not do that.

Let's just not post Patrick Chung videos from SB46, because he was one step late on a play that cost us the game, and it's forever burned into our minds, relentlessly haunting us for the rest of our days.

So, no more youtube.

I doubt there will be.

ahhh the fake punt! I had forgotten about that. That was epic.

How about the one good game he had though against Miami. I think he had a block FG return for TD and a pick.

 

[juny]

yay, reunion of 2nd round secondary busts (i'm sticking tavon in the bust category). now let's get ras-i and get the trifecta of busts back together.

Darius Butler is very upset at you right now.

 

[signbabybrady]

Perhaps we should have a poll.

Which ONE of these three would you cut: Adrian Wilson, Tavon Wilson, Patrick Chung?

Perhaps some would want to wait for camp to make a decision.

Oh oh oh pick me I know the answer pick me oh oh oh.....

D) All of the above







But it doesnt matter because we got Revis.

 

[West Philly Patriot]

Brandon Meriweather or Steve Gregory would have been a better re-sign. Chung is pure garbage

The fact that it's Chung and not a Steve Gregory type tells me that there is some credence to the S/LB hybrid role being a part of D moving forward. Which def makes guys like Shazier, KPL, Van Noy etc. worth taking strong looks at, they project to see starter reps in that capacity

It can't be to bring Chung in as just a S, if so BB is clearly a masochist. Or he suffers from the same ailment that Drew Barrymore had in 50 1st dates.

 

[Jimke]

Chung is not the 2nd coming of Ed Reed but at least he can tackle better than Gregory. he is also a better alternative than the Wilsons and Ebner.
