I’ll have my finger ready to delete every one of my posts. It will be a race with a lot on the line.

What’s up Mo
Needs to clean up the drops (and maybe he has!), but Meyers seems to have something the other guys are missing. He made that awesome 4th-Q play on a ball that, watching live, I was 100% sure was an interception. (Didn't look quite as close on replay but still - a great catch.) And he seems to always scratch out a couple extra yds after the reception.
Wouldn’t call him trash, but another lumbering possession type was not what this team needed from the WR position. They needed someone that can get open at the deeper and more intermediate levels. Sanders was had for a 3rd and a 4th and the 49ers got a 5th back. I’d be much better with that compensation for Sanders in this offense instead of a two for Sanu.
I think the thread title was a magnet for such long before yesterday's NE-BUF game.
The playbook issue could be a thing, but one thing I read when he came here was that he was known for good hands and ability to win contested catches, and he hasn't showed that often enough. Maybe he's surprised when the ball shows up because he doesn't understand the playbook but one would hope his instincts would kick in and he'd make the catch more often than he does. Hate to say it but some players come here and show that they'll never master our playbook. I hope he isn't one of those players since he is under contract for next year.
What is not a settled fact is if Elway would ever offer Sanders to us regardless of the offer. To me it's pretty obvious Sanders was the better choice in terms of performance when healthy versus Sanu and the offer of a 2nd should have gotten it done, so to me the most plausible explanation is that Elway and the rest of the DEN front office simply didn't want NE to have Sanders so they went with the SF offer. BB has lusted after Sanders before ( he put in a bid for him that PIT matched back in the old days ) and it was pretty clear a good WR would really help NE and it's no reach to say someone like Elway would be spiteful and would not want to deal with the blow back from the DEN fan base if Sanders came to NE and helped us win another SB. It is also pretty interesting that Samuel's "injury" healed so fast once he got to SF. One article I read said that SF was initially targeting Sanu due to concerns over Sanders's contract (expensive, and he is a free agent at the end of the year) and his injury, but they could not offer enough for ATL to make the deal for Sanu so they "settled" for Sanders.
I guess that is why we are not GM’s. BB seen that flood coming down the river. They seen something telling with Gordon that turned out spot on.
Wrong thread.
Bc he's a terrible poster that offers no insight, original thought or info? It's all he offers.
