I really hate to be making this thread right now, but I really think we need to throw some money out on the market for an established Wide Receiver...not one like this Carter guy, a serious receiver that will take some of the attention off of Steve Smith.We force fed him footballs all year long, and luckily, he was just to good for defenses to respond. If we stay like we are now, next year....I promise you he will not have close to the same success.As far as RB, i think Deshaun(sp?) can be our featured running back, i really dont see a problem there. But despite what many say, I dont like the way Goings runs, and with Davis likely retiring, we will need to address the running back situation as well. Yeah, we have 76896 running backs on our roster, but if they all are ass, what good does that do us?as far as Captain Bojangles is concerned, with that mammoth of a contract he signed last offseason, he should be getting used to dirty rice and boo-berry biscuits for many years to come.what about our o-line and TE? any thoughts on those for next season?
1/22/2006 9:45:57 PM
hell no. no fucking deshaun. he is a fucking pussy porcelain doll faggot. let's draft a real RB, first. WR, TE, OL.need to get someone to replace kris jenkins, maybe[Edited on January 22, 2006 at 9:47 PM. Reason : dsf]

Well normally this is where I would troll by posting Jets things but I'm gonna go ahead and NOT do that this postseason..I was rooting for the Panthers tonight definitely.. too bad Jake had a bad game..[Edited on January 22, 2006 at 9:48 PM. Reason : good season though.]
1/22/2006 9:47:41 PM
you dont like him? (meaning Deshaun)i think he is definitely serviceable in some way shape or form. He hits the holes relativley hard and is fast around the edges of the line. I would love to have someone more established, but if we rely on a great RB coming from our draft position, it would have to be a big time diamond in the rough.I say, WR---->O-line--->RB---->TE[Edited on January 22, 2006 at 9:50 PM.

I haven't been that impressed by Foster so far, but upgrading the OL is a much more important step.
1/22/2006 9:52:03 PM
it doesnt matter if he can fucking fly. If he can't get on their field for more than half the season, he should either take half the pay or be released.
1/22/2006 9:52:08 PM
they drafted eric shelton this year at RB who's been inactive due to injury...they're not drafting another RB this year.....WR TE DT
1/22/2006 9:58:36 PM
we need a possession WR, a new Center because Jeff Mitchell is probably retiring, a DT for Buckner, we have lacked a good TE, picking 29th is going to hurt, at the position you draft an OL or DT.
1/22/2006 10:00:14 PM
OL before DT. OL was a problem this year. We are still OK on defense.trade colbert for someone who gives a fuck.[Edited on January 22, 2006 at 10:01 PM. Reason : sdff]
1/22/2006 10:00:49 PM
This draft is pretty TE heavy with 4 quality ones...there will be one around at 29
1/22/2006 10:01:07 PM
i dont want deshaun as a starter cause i dont trust him,this backup we just saw wasnt that bad of a backupand we need a reciever more than anything
1/22/2006 10:14:57 PM
the RB situation is iffy. If foster can be had for cheap keep him (share carries with shelton), if not get another rb.NEEDS1) WR (established)2) OL (established)3) TE (rookie)
1/22/2006 10:15:56 PM
GET TJ WILLIAMS.
1/22/2006 10:17:55 PM
we have some weaknesses and Seattle showed how to neautralize Smith. We need more offensive weapons to be a Super Bowl contender, the defense needs a few tweaks.

1/22/2006 10:34:19 PM
no but his injuries are defensive line threatning. motherfucker has played like 2 minutes in the last 2 years. we need a new DT. we need a TE. we need to sign a free agent running back who isnt old as fuck. and we need another WR.
1/22/2006 10:34:49 PM
sign Alexander the Great, dump Foster, Davis, Witherspoon....let every game be a shoot out....at least with Alexander, it will take attention off Smith...i doubt Alexander will be a Seahawk....he will of course go to the highest bidder. The Seahawks should of traded him last year, now he will leave and they will get nothing.He isnt coming here, but nice thoughtSmith has been our main weapon, Foster had as many yards as Goings did last year.Davis was what we missed, he was the guy we brought in like the Steelers do with Bettis, inside the 5.[Edited on January 22, 2006 at 11:07 PM.

1/22/2006 11:05:10 PM
no one missed davis. goings can fucking run it in from the 5.
1/22/2006 11:08:35 PM
ummm, when Davis was put on IR, it seemed to me after that, we had a hellofatime getting it in for a TD in the "red zone" We had to settle for FGs...Davis was almost automatic when he was brought it...Goings isnt a bruiser, and he doesnt have Fosters speed...he is ok for a white guy playing RB.
1/22/2006 11:11:13 PM
DL is the most important. Buckner is retiring. Jenkins isn't dependable. I see him every couple days eating 30,000 chicken wings at a sports bar down the corner, who knows if he even comes back and can get in shape.OL is next. We're getting by with marginal tackles, one good guard and an old center.LB - RB - WR are all on the same level after that.
1/22/2006 11:15:25 PM
i can't believe nobody has said we need to pick up another quality linebackerIs it that everybody thinks Fields is coming back without missing a beat or that Dan Morgan isn't planning on missing a 1/3 of the season with injuries next year or maybe thomas davis will turn into derrick brooks like he was suppose too

How about get a real QB?I could throw to an open Steve Smith and look good too.Rivers playing for Carolina would be sweet.

Jake is fine when he gets blocking. We lost last night bc of our line and our lack of running game.
1/23/2006 8:45:56 AM
So you tell me that when you close your eyes and picture yourself in the Superbowl....the qb is.....Jake?Dude. Put down the pipe. It's not that he's terrible but there are better out there.
1/23/2006 8:47:25 AM
like who? I love Rivers but he hasnt proved anything and when i close my eyes I can picture us in the Super Bowl 2 years ago and who was the QB??? Jake. Dont jump ship bc we had a bad game. It happens when you dont have a running game and your defense features overrated players like Ricky Manning Jr.[Edited on January 23, 2006 at 8:54 AM. Reason : ]

Delhomme's SB XXXVIII Line:16-33, 323 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs. Pretty fucking solidAlso, considering that Jim McMahon, Phil Simms, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypien, Trent Dilfer, and Brad Johnson have Super Bowl rings, Jake's fine with me.
1/23/2006 12:16:36 PM
As far as needs for next year: 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB, 1 DT(Depends on Kris Jenkins), and if we could trade or get rid of Warton for a solid OL, I think we can be pretty damn solid.
1/23/2006 12:27:37 PM
All we need is Lendale White. Don't resign Foster. He's a walking injury.
1/23/2006 12:59:49 PM
the jamal lewis rumor intrigues me, but i still think shelton can be that type of back for us. hopefully we let foster go and retain 'spoon, cause he's the much better value of the two. don't know if we can afford reggie wayne even if indy lets him go (probably won't). if i'm not mistaken, aren't both edge and reggie FA's? if the money can be found, either would be a stellar addition
1/23/2006 1:01:10 PM
Delhomme's not going anywhere. He's taken us to a Super Bowl and an NFC Championship in 3 years and he has a huge contract. Cmon, be realistic. Priority is at wide receiver. Keary Colbert is a lousy sack of shit and Ricky Proehl has one foot in the coffin and prolly will retire. Deshaun Foster is too much of a liability at running back. OL is fine when they have a decent running back although it would be nice to replace Reyes because every run towards his hole never goes anywhere. Buckner is past his prime so he will need to be replaced soon. Ricky Manning Jr. is a decent option at corner, no need to go and waste money on another, he's not that bad. It would be nice to have a more athletic TE.[Edited on January 23, 2006 at 1:10 PM. Reason : .]

I believe in the last 5 or so years there hasn't been an nc state player available come our time to draft that was worth a shit. you want us to draft players off teams that go 5-6 6-5 and then come football season your bitching about how bad they play..imagine if they made our team in the nfl....please
