Would be a great add for 1-2 years. Rex loves this kind of player.
Or that they didn't go balls-to-the-wall to move up and grab Ben R.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

I would take Wilfork for the nose all day. Best 3 man D-line ever."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

They still misfire. Them and CLE, and you can add the HC merry-go-round for both. I scratch my head about both franchises.Last edited by stuckincincy; 03-05-2015, 12:24 PM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

Originally posted by stuckincincy View PostI also remember that. Donohue should have done more - cripes, he was the GM of a team that misfired at the most important position (save for a half year of Bledsoe) for a decade after Kelly.

As for Wilfork, my understanding of Rex Ryan's D is that he doesn't really use true 3-4 NT type players, so I don't know that he's even a good fit. Plus, if the Pats are willing to move on from him then that's probably a good indication that he's not worth it. For an older guy that carries so much weight, I'd question how effective he can really be anymore.

The mistake was trading away the following years 1st to move up to get JP. If they had kept that 2005 first rounder they could have drafted Aaron Rodgers.

Perhaps I'm being hard of Donohue. Whaley sold off this year's #1 to get his boy last year in the face of a fat WR draft, now he buys the fat contract of a RB - again in the face of a strong positional draft (thanks to the rookie cap - they come cheap). A mainly outside runner, coming to join a team that doesn't appear to have the OL skills to make those necessary blocks, proceeds to purchase a QB who played 3 games last season then hurt his foot, a qb that has bounced around all his career, has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns in his 11 year career.
Whaley has also proceeded to toss over picks for a team already on the short end of that stick.Last edited by stuckincincy; 03-05-2015, 01:37 PM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.
