Be forewarned however, this information will be nothing new to any of you. So if you're not happy with this thread/post, go blame the people calling me out for the info in it. B/c it's all within this message board somewhere.

Wys. One simple question. Do you like anyone on the team or in the FO? Anyone at all?
In the FO, I only have issue with Donahoe. But that's a growing movement.
On the team:
I like Mike Williams, Jonas Jennings and believe we have the Ts to do the job easily.
I like Price as a backup too.
I like Moulds, Reed, Coleman, and am content w/ Shaw.
I like Henry and can't figure out why we wasted a first rounder for a RB when we were nuts deep in them w/ Gary here and given all of our other needs on the team.
I don't like Drew. But I'm not gonna bother explaining why other than to say everything that I've posted in the past is coming true. I will post some articles supporting my points as well, but not tonight, they're on another PC of mine. Suffice it to say now that he's one of the most overrated QBs in the league. His way overrated three trips to the Pro Bowl were twice for an injured player and not by pure voting, and once only as a backup. Seems like there's a tad bit too much emphasis on that, especially since the last time he made it was when, 6 years ago. Can it possibly be, since he hasn't had a great season in years, that perhaps he's washed up? Just a question...
I think Denney is not good and certainly not worth a trade up 2nd round pick.
I'm content w/ Schobel and have posted on numerous occasions that I think he'd be fine with 3 other decent linemen.
Williams is a beast, but there are signs that he's slowing down some due to age.
Adams was crappy last year, but no one will believe that since presumably no one watched him play in Oakland like I did for 4 games last year. He's no better than he was then and even worse now IMO. He doesn't do the things that the FO said he'd do and fans were expecting. He plays like a very average DT and simply isn't worth the $1.75M he's getting this year.
Spikes I expected to be much more dominant, but hasn't been. Don't know what to think there.
Posey is what I stated he'd be here, average and a good pass rusher only and isn't playing as well in a 4-3 as he did in a 3-4 and a totally different scheme. No reflection on me, anyone who had taken the time to do some basic research on his past seasons would have come to the same conclusions.
Fletcher, cannot cover, and therefore I have issues with him as a MLB. He's too short to cover the larger WRs OTM and most TEs. He's not nearly as fast as many like to believe and makes many of his tackles from behind. He gets lauded for his #s of tackles yet behind the same DL that everyone stating that Fletcher is great say that that DL sucks. So to me, it stands to reason that w/ no DL, of course you're gonna have more opps for tackles.
Winfield is a great run cover CB but only has average cover skills. He gets burned often and loses his man easily at times. IMO he's not worth more than $3M/yr. due to his inability to cover well or much better than average.
Clements, I like hiim a lot.
Wire, I like him, and I wouldn't have spent $4M/yr. to override his development by signing Milloy.
Reese, I said at the time we acquired him that he was a marginal starter and a more likely backup. That seems consistent w/ the truth here.
Milloy, IMO he's overpaid and since he's on the downside of his career, I'd say that the money we're paying now is fine, but as the seasons go on and his contract gets fatter, IMO he won't be worth what we're paying him. I wouldn't have signed him. But the fact that TD did, makes me wonder if he's following any plan here since he's essentially admitting that he doesn't think that Wire is very good if he's happy to let Wire play STs until his contract comes due where Wire would have to be nuts to resign if he wants to play S somewhere.
Prioleau, I like him. He along with many other players get yanked after only one season that I don't understand that philosophy.
So there BF, there it is. If you ask me again, you'll need an eyeball colonic! ;) Now hopefully you can get some rest and all the taunts and insults will cease...:rolleyes:...LOL
