Only thing I'd rather be right about is I've been fooled once, twice, three, four, five times with believing in Eifert and unlike some of you guys can't be fooled again (In my George Bush voice).

But it is what it is. He's a Bengal. And I've never had a problem with Bengal flavored crow. So if somehow makes it through the season, I'll happily take my dish. That's all you need to know about me and some of my negative thoughts on the team.

I see better than I read from you all. Especially during the months of blind optimism.

Just a few months ago you claimed it was a "fact" that Paul Alexander and Adam Jones would be back next year and we would not make any big moves in free agency, remember?

No.

You win you get to control my sig for a week.  I win I control yours for 100 weeks.

And it has to knock him out for a complete game.

That's an unfair bet Fred, we all know the odds of him getting hurt are high. Besides, I'm not here to wish for him to get hurt as accused. I'm just stating we've read this script before, and when contracts for Jensen, Fleming, Sullivan, Bowman, Vacarro, Reid, Burnett, Carradine come out, if they are less than 8m on one year deals, I'll be frustrated with the Front Office. That would have been better money spent then living in 2015. If we wanted another TE we could have signed Ebron. The FO can't be scared of change.

And it's time to see what we really have in Kroft. Who showed potential and should be the focus of an extension.

Who says they don't plan to draft a new TE and give him time to transition to the NFL? Eifert could be a 1 year stop gap for that. Pretty sure they wouldn't put all of their eggs in one basket with Eifert. And if Eifert has a great year, we can try to keep him or let him go via FA and get a comp pick lol, you know, we build thru the draft.

Amazing that it means we've priced ourself out of Bodine.  Who would have ever thought that?

LOL No, Bodine is vet minimum. So we are still in the hunt.

Not if you know he is going to get hurt.

You have nothing to lose.

How is that unfair?

[jj22]

Ok. Fred. I said what I said. I'm moving on. I'm sure we'll cross paths to "debate" in another thread somewhere.

And as always, I'll look forward to it.

In terms you understand. I rest my case.

Facts matter.

Well while you're betting on Eifert to get hurt I'll be rooting for him to stay healthy.

[jj22]

Shrugs. I said what I said.

Regardless, if we can manage a full season out of him, that will be a large win.

Look forward to seeing Dalton, Mixon, Green, Ross, Kroft and Eifert on the same field together. Lot of targets.

yes "s----T Happens" but I see big signs of hope.      Lets get a good draft and beat them damn steelers!!!

You'll be able to knock me over with a feather if we don't draft a TE, maybe even more than one. After this season, we won't have Eifert, Kroft, or Uzomah under contract. I just don't see our FO paint themselves into a Free Agency corner next year.
