RE: WR Trent Taylor signed - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 05-19-2021
This is not a signing that gets me super excited, but I do like it for a couple reasons:
1) A guy who is still in his prime.
2) A signing in an area of need: backup slot WR/PR
3) A guy who has proven he can fill that role adequately in the recent past.
4) A guy who provides a measuring stick for the unproven guys (Lees, Pooka, Robinson) and the fringe guys (Morgan, Irwin, even Thomas/Tate).

He sounds like your typical white hands guy. He's not going to do anything spectacular, but he'll catch a punt without fumbling it and maybe get a few yards and he'll catch some balls for a few yards. Not too bad for your 4-6 guy.

Got to love those Tom Waddle type WRs.
BTW do you all remember when the Bears traded Tom Waddle to the Bengals and he decided to retire instead?
Wasn't there someone else that did that too? I remember Sapp using us for leverage one off season.

If I am not mistaken, Eifert used to wear his cap backwards, I hope that's not a curse.
RE: WR Trent Taylor signed - TecmoBengals - 05-19-2021
Let it be known, I'm not opposed to the backwards hat style & have it done it many times myself, but something about it looks odd when on the football field. It's totally cool though when Griffey Jr. did it.

Imagine the people fired if you said “he sounds like your typical black athletic type guy”
Woah.

Barry Foster, the great Steelers RB...which happened around the same time frame.
I was so excited when we signed Foster. Same with Waddle.
I also read that we had arranged a trade for Drew Bledsoe, but he refused.

We used to make fun of all the white racial stereotypes on the old boards:
"High motor"
"Effort Guy"
"Lunch pail type"
"Hands guy"
"Wes Welker" (every WR)
"Cerebral"
"Sneaky Athletic" (if it's a fast white guy)

Yes, the Barry Foster signing....Wow, that brings me back lol. I was the same way, and running backs were so coveted in that era as well. I also remember the Bledsoe thing where he made it quite clear that he didn't want to be traded to Cincy. I'll add, Elvis Grbac to this hideous trip down memory lane haha.

Did the team know he wore a sports bra before drafting him? Maybe he was "injury-prone" because he was the first woman to play in the NFL?

Gotta stop that side boob/nip slip somehow when you cut the sleeves off that far.
RE: WR Trent Taylor signed - Housh - 05-20-2021
We have like a super good track record with white slot WRs so i like the move.
