We waived Ihmir Smith for this move?

Could kept 6 WR. DUMB.

Not looking good. Almost Identical to the Watts for Blacklock move. We kept Nailor over Smith-Marsette is very surprising.


Easy. Anything before 2022 takes a back seat.

Overly inflated ego showing again.


?? 5th WR that can't return punts gone for someone that can and is explosive at it.


One good return of 70+ is all he has to hang his hat on.


Remember though; blocking is important on returns. First thing first catching punts (Ish can't). If we keep a 6th it was Chisena for ST....same as the 5th...Reagor is better at ST.


You might want to change your MO and do a little research. Reagor has muffed more than a couple of punts.

In fact, Reagor muffed two punts in the wild-card game against TB, sending fans into a furor.


Ish has muffed almost every punt in the preseason if you watched.


And your point is?


With a better defense more punt returns....Reagor was 8th in yards. Do you like Ish?

8th? So what. McDonald's is probably 1st in burger sales.

Ignoring Reagor's muffs after saying fielding the ball is job #1 is, well, quite Philish.

To get a better football player, WR, PR...sure. One playoff game doesn't make him a poor PR. Sounds like you have the narrative. Are you a Hawkeye fan by chance?

Lets see who picks him up.

Your questions are pointless, but I'm sure are very relevant in your mind

I’ll be less happy.

Especially if he gets picked up in division and burns our secondary and ST for yards and scores..

If he goes to GB.. my displeasure goes up exponentially…

That's right ... lets not discuss this team until after the first three or four games.

Because everything before that is hysterics.

Or a difference of opinion ... which for some apparently = hysterics.

Wow. I have to go retrieve my mind from across the room because it's just been blown.

So… it’s just “legitimate ( football) discourse”…?

To think I used to rant like an idiot over football..

I’m getting old..er..

If KAM and KOC really knew what they were doing ... they'd toy with the fan base ...

first, they'd titillate fans by cutting Mannion and Mond ... then they'd provoke them to rage by cutting Watts, Berry, Hand and ISM ... then they'd confound them by trading for Blacklock and Reagor ...

and, just when the darkness was, well, darkest ... then they'd trade for a legitimate center.

Making it so would make everything else trivial.

There was no "freaking out", although someone could think that if they are super insulated or near flatlined.

It happens every year. Discussion ensues about back of the roster moves because this time of the year back of the roster moves literally dominate things. Inevitably, after posting about such moves someone will say they don't care about the back of the roster.

Then sit it out next year!

Stop freaking me out with all these back of the roster moves!

(And Watts is really a mid-roster guy ha)
