Enjoy Houston. Now you can be closer to NO.

But if everything is cast off Joe can't get you there on his own. I would have made a bunch of moves and moved on from there with a new QB.

I agree. But Joe will say nothing he has his cash. If the offense flounders and the D is nothing players and fans will go nuts. The Joe deal will have made no sense.

I am seeing around that this has to do with the revolt by the players. So you cross the coach and you are out. That will start getting expensive for the owner.

I don't like the OL down in Jax. Joe would never be able to wait for Blackmon to get open. They have no RB that is no older than time. Joe being down there I still see them being a top 5 pick.

Here is what I was thinking before they signed Joe. Tag him and trade him. I was thinking Jax. Take the #2 and the #34 this yr and at least their first pick in 2014. They may have gotten more. Jax would have still sucked with Joe since the team has so little talent on it. They ravens would fall like a stone. The Ravens would be in line for Johnny Manzeil. He would be a cheaper option and could be better than Joe. The Ravens would have gotten a buch of picks to fix their LT, passrush, LB, and S holes with high picks. If they completely take it apart now they would have been better off doing my idea.

Totally agree. If tehy are rebuilding they should have traded Joe.

They just redid his deal. It does not make sense.

He loses some leverage.

Hilarious. If Te'o falls far enough yeah. I would not take him in the 1st.

Yeah.

Cody is all but gone.

No that is pretty high for a LB. The tag number was $9.455. So he is making less than 2.5 below it. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000117300/article/franchise-tag-numbers-tentatively-set-2013-cap-near-121m

Does Ozzie trip over LB's? Let Bynes play. Also there is the draft.

They didn't. Elerbee is in Miami.

Of course. Gotta see i the cheap young talent can play. There are a lot of horses in the stable so they need 1 who can go.

There is no proof that Austin is injury prone. Size has nothing to do with it. Ellerbee is injury prone.

He was the best player on the D for 2012.

I don't think they will be able to afford him.

More comp picks for 2014.

They might not go FA on safety. They could go draft with it being so stocked. The still have Christian Thompson. I really liked him coming out.

Yeah Torrey made some crazy catches to save poorly thrown balls also. That is why I have said Joe is not worth that monster deal. HE was a major cog but was not the guy they had to jump on the back of to win. Brees puts the ball right in the hands so the WR doesn't have to adjust.
