Mercedes Lewis all over again.


Where did everyone get this information that you aren't supposed to link to articles?


Idk, i know you cant link to other forums though


Yeah. Forums, links to pages that's purpose to sell something, and sites with personal information, or explicit content. Sports articles, you can link to. In fact, you're supposed to link to them if you are sourcing them. Simple plagiarism rules..

bleh...wr just passed de & cb as #1 priority in the draft. guess it's a lock we take the 2nd best wr in the draft at #7...just feels like we're settling here. the redskins really screwed us by overpaying for garcon. maybe we'll get lucky & hill or jeffrey will have a so-so proday and fall to us in the 2nd.

WR didnt pass anything. That was always our biggest need


no argument about need, but I said "priority", not need. I tend to wait until we get through the initial free agency period before solidifying my opinion about draft priorities. given our draft position and the likliehood that we adressed wr need through free agency, I had de & cb as higher draft priorities. if robinson is the only free agent wr we sign, wr becomes the highest draft priority imo.


I still think it was our #1 priority. Obviously re-signing Mincey and Lowery were priorities because they were key to our defense last year, but in order to help Gabbert, our offense needs to get better ergo, WR is the #1 priority. Even if we didnt re-sign Mathis, I think WR was a bigger priority than CB.


I disagree slightly just b/c regarding wrs: I like adding known commodities through fa a little better to drafting unknown commodities. If it weren't for the fact that we're coming off of nearly a decade of really poor drafting decisions regarding wrs, I might feel differently...but alas, Reggie Williams & Matt Jones have scarred me for life Smile

Highlights of him and Bryant this past year (he's #81):

Why is it that most highlight videos have the most obnoxious techno beats?

I love the move, even though he's pretty highly paid. The separation he gets is very nice, but what I also like is how he keeps fighting when Romo was buying more time - we didn't have anybody doing that for us this past season.


This is a very good point, and part of why i don't mind this signing, despite the money.

The real question is though...will our QB be better at 'buying more time' this year? And will Robinson be able to build that same sort of rapport with Gabbert? I think that chemistry with Romo when things went sideways was a pretty important aspect of his production at times, so it remains to be seen if he can establish that sort of play here.
