I'm assuming you have SSSnail on ignore.
T rich better not get a contract. Guys like that Shouldnt have a place in the NFL. Guy is the worst kind of player. Selfish and always thinks its every one else that has the problem.
Not going to discount Gore.. I thought he was done a couple seasons back and then he popped off two 1k years in a row.
David Cobb might be a good fit.. 5-6th round.
Unfortunately I think he gets a contract somewhere.. and wouldn't be surprised if its the 49ers. Baalke loves those 1st round guys who didn't do much.
Yeah, I don't get why Richardson is awful. I mean, he was terrible at Cleveland, but so is everyone else, so I kind of forgave that. Then, he went into Indy and was just bad when he ran the ball. Alternatively, when he caught the ball beyond the LoS, he was phenomenal. Maybe he just lacks vision. Perhaps, he would do good on the Cowboys, where the line can open a hole the size of Texas so he doesn't have to find it.
david cobb is gonna be one of the steals of the draft. I know alot of guys have him as a fifth rounder or 4th rounder but a couple teams have him as a second round talent. He may go earlier.
didnt gore have a strained arch a few years ago? those take forever to heal and he played trough it like a champ.

walter and bunch of people have Cobb below guys like Buck Allen and Langford and I just dont see that. I see him getting picked right after Abdullah and TJ Yeldon though I would take him ahead of Yeldon and possibly Abdullah because of his size.
javorius Buck Allen would be a good fit for the 49ers too. Guy is totally underrated.
Watching Chip Kelly's Wednesday press conference was like watching The Who perform Quadrophenia in its entirety circa 1977.
It was bold, angry, defiant, unpredictable, brilliantly contrary, contrarily brilliant, sometimes enlightening, often baffling and intermittently terrifying.
The biggest takeaway from Kelly's double-live album of a press conference is that he does not care what we think. Kelly's plan for selling his recent moves to Eagles fans is to say one thing, then say another, then get angry if we don't simultaneously accept both statements.
Rush for 1,500 yards, DeMarco Murray. Fit the Kelly system perfectly. Make Bradford the quarterback we remember from the end of the George W. Bush administrationassuming Bradford is not just super-secret Marcus Mariota bait. Show the NFL that the Kelly system really can change the sport, on and off the field. Give the coach a chance to smash a grapefruit into the media's collective face during a Super Bowl celebration.
Everyone is counting on you.

Rush for 1,500 yards, Murray. Lead the Eagles to the playoffs. Make the Cowboys look silly for letting you go. By the time you take the field, the Phillies will be closing in on 80 losses and Philly fans will be looking for something to cheer about the same way a fisherman's wife scans the horizon from the shore.
Prove that you are worth this investment, DeMarco Murray, and you can rescue a profession, a coach, a philosophy and a city.
No pressure.
Washington signs Culliver for 8 million per
HOLY CRAP is that big money
Cowboys sign Mcfadden.
ya he played well but damn thats alot of money.Ugh.. not worth the 8mil but sad to see him go even with all his troubles.
2 year $5.8m. Can't say I love McHurtALot, but that isn't a huge price for would could be good production, if he stays healthy (which he wont, so it gives Randle and Dunbar some chance to prove they can be the starting back in the future).
Saints sign Spiller. Looks like Brees gets a new even faster Darren Sproles to play with, with one exception - Spiller can't block for shit.
Good signing for NO.
NO just traded Kenny Stills for a third and LB Ellerbe from the fins.
Wow NO is doing what the bears should have done this year. Stockpile picks in the deepest draft in years.

Deep in some spots (DL, WR, OL, maybe RB), but certainly not spectacular in secondary, QBs, etc. For NO, it is a good move. For the Bears, they are stuck with Cutlet until they can get an upgrade, as they are already paying him $15 million for the season, regardless.
Least surprising news ever to close the books on the worst trade in at least the last decade or so. Still don't think Gore is a full-fledged RB1 at this point so I'm wondering who else the Colts are going to sign unless they're going to rely on Ballard's ACL not to explode for a 3rd time or think that Boom Herron can be effective enough paired with Gore to effectively make a complete RB1.

For $4M avg. a season they cold have gotten the much younger (25 right now) Mark Engram. For less guaranteed money, 1 more year on the contract, and a lot less wear and tear.
You are taking a beating for this comment so I will back you up. Does that make you change your opinion?
Gore is going to be 32 years old and has a lot of wear on the tires. And as a Seattle fan I see a lot of Gore--he is definitely slowing down IMO. For those reasons I think this was a HUGE reach and overpay. Indy is paying him $8.5M the next two years of which $6.5M fully guaranteed. Only 8 rushers have more guaranteed money in their contracts.
Putting aside 2014, Santa Clara has had a very good run blocking line, probably the best in the league from 2011-2013. That needs to be taken into consideration when looking at his performance. His contribution in the passing game has substantially declined, party as he needs more rest (last 4 seasons Gore averaged 150 yards on 18 receptions a season; before that he was a 40+ catch 400+ yard guy). Since 2007 Gore is a guy who has consistently put up 1,100-1,200 yards seasons but with an observable decline in abilities (not a knock--Lynch has lost a step since his 4.4 combine but is still a monster), general decline in workload, and seeing a general and expected regression in average per carries I don't think he has a ton left in the tank. Rushers tend to drop off a cliff as they age. Some last longer before they drop off and Gore is a magnificent example of longevity at RB.
I think Indy's line is worse than Santa Claras. I think Gore has less in the tank the next 2 years than he did the previous 2 years. I think even though Santa Clara reduced his workload he still show decline. I think Gore will average less than 4.0 yards a carrier the next 2 years and post less than 1,800 yards over those 2 season. This will be a huge overspend on a 32-33 year old back. It is the WRONG way for Indy to build a team.

Or a play action... God that would have wonders for the offensive. Everyone writing off Gore will be wrong. He has plenty of carries, but if you actually watch him run, he tries to avoid damage, hard to explain, but he doesn't give up on plays but if he knows someone is going to catch him from behind or has a sideline, he'll choose the option that results in least likely to get hit hard.Gore's passing numbers went down cause Harbaugh and Roman didn't know how to call a screen if their life depended on it.. most of his passing yardage came on broken plays. Also, Miller started taking more of the passes as Gore was left to block.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gore does a ton more blitz pickups and stays in for pass protection more than he used to.

Plus trying to compare his rushing vs. the Seahawks, who EVERYONE but what Dallas, had crap rush yards? Plus I think everyone is giving too much credit for how good SF's O-line was in previous years, this past year they weren't as good.
