What I'd like to see from Preseason Game 3

[LKP]

All I see on the good trade front is Chris Houston. The rest were blah..

Rob Sims, Shaun Hill, Corey Williams, Scheffler for Ernie Sims. Jesus you people have the memory of ants.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I mentioned Sims in an edit. Of the rest, are any of them still here? Short term where there is no playoff win end result gets a blah.

It wasn't a poor choice in 2010. It was a great choice. This team needed a RB playmaker and got one. Ernie Sims had a million concussions in college and never one in the pros. Worth the risk and good talent. Mayhew did well with the Best pick. It's bullshit he got hurt after 20+ games played. He played a whole damn season with no head issues.

You can't think of any great trades. Do you even follow the team. 2010 ring a bell? Houston, Sims, Scheffler for Ernie Sims, Shaun Hill, Corey Williams all brought in by trade. Free agents, Burleson, KVB(at the time), Tulloch, Quin, Bush. Mayhew will be GM of the year.

I don't think spectators and teammates were moved to tears after any of Ernie Sims concussions.

Although their brains are obviously very different from ours, we do have some evidence that worker ants do have memories.

Ants are fascinating creatures. I wish LKP was more like an ant, I'm starting to get bored.

no kidding. I thought that was the end of his playing days....then the Lions drafted him in the first round.

Quote from Sqartz

"Some people watch adult videos on their computer... I go to YouTube and watch Jahvid Best highlight clips. That?s what gets me going."

Maybe he should have watched you tube videos of Best getting knocked out after landing on his dome!

It got us to the playoffs. CW was wroth the trade and Sims, Houston, Scheffler and Hill was still here. Again your misinformed opinions won't sway my justified optimisim.

One pick. That 5th was an extra pick we didn't have at all. We used one of our alloted pick a 2013 4th. And we still had a 4th rounder this year.

ya....thats what i said. 2 picks. And we didnt "still" have a 4th rounder.....we got credited a 4th rounder as a comp pick almost a year later. I can write the list of names we could have drafted with that 4th rounder this year again if you need me too. Theres about 15 guys on it that would have been better than tahir smeer the queer whitehead.

You assume Mayhew would have used that 4th pick appropriately..

Sims awas a great trade
Houston was fine but as evidenced by 2 FA periods no one really wants him anyways
Hill is a good back up
Scheffler is meh

He could have used the piece of paper you turn in to make the draft pick as toilet paper and it would have been used more approapriately that selecting tahir whats that in my rear whitehead.

 

[LKP]

Houston is a very good player. Got him on great deals too. Kudos again to Mayhew/Lewand

Hill is a great backup for a future 7th

Turning Ernie Sims into Scheffler is a great trade.

Whitehead is learning a new position and will help on special teams. I'll take Tulloch, Levy, Palmer, all pickups by Mayhew too.

Youre talking to tomdalton, bro. The guy is fn clueless. Youre surprised he cant remember any trades or moves that have benefitted this team? Dude!! lol

 

[tonyballs]

I dunno if 1 decent game is considered "proof."

Wow, now thats rich!! You throw kids under the bus when they havent even stepped onto the field. Youre too funny....

i throw them under the bus when they step on the field and suck.

come on.....you are going to say that the Best pick was a good one? The guy was one hit away from drinking his dinners through a straw after his final game at Cal. I may not remember every good trade that was made because there just aren't many of them.

Oh ya?! What about Greenwood? What about the rookies from last year that got little to no playing time? Cmon bro!! lol....gotta see these kids in action for a bit before we label them as players or not. You do neither and WE all know it, including yourself

Best was a top 10 talent before the injury, maybe better. It was a high risk high reward pick. And as pointed out before, there have been players in college who have suffered multiple concussions and never got one in the NFL. See Ernie Sims....

You cant deny Best wasnt a game changer....dont even try it.

I agree it was a high risk high reward pick. I just think the risk was too high. He didn't have a mild concussion....he landed on his freaking head and was out! It wasn't the first time either.

He was a game changer....I hope Reggie Bush can do the same.
