Bottom line, I won't say Laron Landry is a bad player.

But he will make plays that make you happy, and he will make plays that make you sad.

Per league source, Reggie Nelson will earn $6.5 million in the first year of his four-year, $18 million deal with #bengals

LaRon Landry on a 1 year, $4M deal > that shitty Reggie Nelson deal

Landry is an undersized LB. He has the cover skills of a LB. Which is bad for a safety. He isn't bad if he's a nickel safety, playing middle. But he's bad if he's the starter.


And I have seen Eric Smith. He's an average safety, who does the most stupid shit half the time he's in

Landry needs to play in an Adrian Wilson-esque role to succeed IMO. An in-the-box safety with stunt packages run specifically for him. With some solid corners to bail him out, he could be alright with the Jets if they play him like that... but all of this is irrelevant if he's on IR.

I have full confidence in Rex to put LaRon into a position to succeed. We've most definitely got the corners to have flexibility with our safeties in Revis, Cromartie, and hopefully an improved Kyle Wilson from last year's improved Kyle Wilson.

I don't think he missed a game his first three years in the league and he stayed healthy in college. Chances are the last two years were more of an anomaly than anything.

I hope Alex Smith signs with some other team and gives the 49ers a big FU. That way I can watch Moss implode and take the whole team down with him. Hahahahaha

If they were anything other than Achilles injuries, I'd agree with you.

Achilles tears are tough to come back from 100% though.

On the surface, Carolina’s signing of free-agent running back Mike Tolbert doesn’t seem like that big a deal.

The Panthers already have two good running backs in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. It’s easy to look at this one and say, the Panthers simply are upgrading their No. 3 running back spot with Tolbert replacing Mike Goodson.

But I don’t think this is what that move is all about. Tolbert was brought in to be the No. 2 back behind either Williams or Stewart.

John Fox isn’t coaching the Panthers anymore, so the days of them collecting three or four backs and playing them extensively are over. Heck, there weren’t even enough carries to go around for Stewart and Williams last year, when coach Ron Rivera arrived and brought along offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. Rivera and Chudzinski both previously worked in San Diego, where Tolbert spent the past four seasons.

He had the best year of his career in 2010, the last year Chudzinski and Rivera were with the Chargers. Tolbert’s the kind of back that can give you about 150 carries and catch 40 or 50 passes out of the backfield. He also can play special teams and is considered a good locker-room guy.

Williams and Stewart both were first-round picks by the Panthers and are highly regarded by the team. But it’s pretty obvious the Panthers just sent a message that either one could be available and other teams are going to start calling to inquire about trades.

It might be difficult to get a trade partner for Williams. The Panthers signed him to a huge contract last summer, which could scare off some suitors. But I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of the Panthers dealing Williams. Fox likes Williams a lot and could want a new toy for Peyton Manning in Denver. Some other team might be willing to take a shot on Williams.

But I think Stewart will be easier to trade (and Fox likes him too). He’s headed into the final year of his rookie contract and a team wouldn’t be taking on a huge deal. I’m thinking that between now and the draft, the Panthers will have added at least one draft pick and will be without either Stewart or Williams.

Get it done Tannenbum. If Shonn Greene and Joe McKnight are our RBs heading into this season I will commit suicide.

David Garrard is a Miami Dolphin

Do I want Tim Tebow?

 

[.infamous]

Do I want Tim Tebow?

Maybe you do..Maybe you don't..That is the question

 

[Elite]

Do I want Tim Tebow?

No. You want to draft Trent Richardson/Justin Blackmon and give it another go at a QB with next year's top 10 pick.

 

[elcheato]

I wouldn't mind trading a late pick for Tebow just to have the Browns in the news constantly just for this year. That would be fun.

 

[RManske2]

Do I want Tim Tebow?

Probably not, why not upgrade other areas this year and keep Matt Barkley's agent on speed dial for next year since he's going either to the Browns or Dolphins now.

 

[elcheato]

It would have been a whole lot simpler if Matt Barkley hadn't been selfish and went for the money.

 

[RManske2]

He did go for the money, why do you think he stayed at USC... :thumbup:
