I like the fan speak sims. There must have been 10000 drafts this board did on there last year. Will have to check this out.

Any excuse to dress up like a queer for you...

gftChris

I just did a quick run through and ended up keeping Skrine and Austin, and signing Justin Houston. Cecil Shorts was the WR I wanted but signed elsewhere.

It's getting harder and harder everyday to find an excuse.

I like your thought input but why restructure Mack after a season?

Because it gave me the option to, honestly. The only reason.

The game isn't perfect. Restructuring needs work, free agency needs work.

No you don't. Everyone already know that you are a queer and suck balls!

To answer the op's question, I would hire Bernard Kosar as GM, Sam Rigitoni as head coach and Brian Sipe as QB coach.

Is that before or after Bernie completes a psych eval and rehab??

Why would anyone want to cut Travis Benjamin. Dude is quicksilver in a helmet and our only legit returner threat... It's not like he's going to ask for big money. He's a decent WR, but most importantly, he's fast.

He's mediocre and taking a roster spot from a younger, faster guy with more potential.

Benjamin the project is done.

You couldn't be more dead wrong.. He made some tough catches this past season.. I'm with PGL on this one.. Travis will be going into his 3rd season and , I expect good things from him.

Gotta agree with you......he's not gonna be a good one....time to move on...

Actually, he's going into his 4th year....and in 3 whole seasons he has 40 catches for 700 yards.....and he's fumbled 5 of them.......not counting the muffs....

Now, to me, 40 catches for 700 would be "average for one season" ......but, for 3 seasons?.......way below average.....

And even with his speed, it's obvious the coaches dont trust him to catch punts.....we just had a whole season of Jim Leonard, remember?

Time to add talent to the WR's and, based upon the others we have, he seems like the one with least upside and would be most likely to go.......

WOW I didn't realize that Benji only had 70 catches in 3 years. CYA

thats 40 catches actually(not 70)......or 0.8 a game.....or 14 yards a game.....for 3 years now....

here's another way to look at it.....this year some felt Benji had stepped up his game...he had some nice catches(yes)....some TD's(3).....then Josh Gordon came back and "most people" thought he totally sucked/tanked/slacked(which he did)....right?......so Benji improved and Josh sucked....we can all agree on that, right?

Yet....here are their final #'s for 2014...

Benji....16 games....18 catches for 314 yds <<<< these are not good #'s

Josh.... .5 games....24 catches for 303 yds

or, for more perspective, in his last year here....Mr. Superstar himself ....

Greg Little....16 games....53 catches for 650.......so, Greg little did WAY more in one year, than Benji did in 3.....
