  • I have looked into him before, he can come back to Memphis for another season, and not being a P5 school makes it a possibility that he will want to come back. He was also pretty unimpressive this past weekend, losing 45-20 to Navy.

  • Memphis' coach is likely to get poached this offseason, so Lynch might have to take that into consideration. Plus, I feel like this was a fairytale season for Memphis. It's not like Lynch would be returning to compete for a national championship. Also, if that 'stache goes unchecked for another year, it might hurt his draft status.

  • As for the Navy game, Goff had a similar loss this year and Cook is no longer undefeated. Hell, Johnny might ball out for the rest of the season and we might not have to worry about it. I'm just glad JM is too young to rock a 'stache of that magnitude.

    I have strong reason to believe JM is one of those guys that never had to shave growing up, while I had to shave 2 times a week by high school

  • I think it would be a good pick. He has the measurables, and has played well in a pro-style offense.

  • I am half Lynch, and I had a creepy mustache one year in college ... so I like him already.

    But I've never seen him play.

  • Take him. Austin Davis is already under contract for 3 years, so there's our backup. Cut McCown and see if someone will trade their cheerleader squad for JFF.

    Why would you cut McCown?

    A solid veteran playing well under a friendly contract ... cut him!

  • Was going to post this exact topic today. I spent some time yesterday and watched some of his highlights, and read a few scouting reports on him. He's definitely intriguing, but he appears to be pretty raw. I really like his size, arm strength, and insane athletic ability for someone of his stature, but something tells me he won't be ready to start year one, and that's what I think we need. Of course, I could be dead wrong, and I only know what I read about him yesterday, but I think there might be more pro ready qb's available to us. Unfortunately for us, there is no "great qb candidate" this year. I don't see a Winston or Mariota, do you guys?

  • Once more, none of our losses this season can be a laid at the feet of either quarterback.

    Trade down for more second and third round players. Our track record is better with them.

    Well not considering that there are plenty of guys looking for a paycheck who plan to coast for their last couple years in the league...

    Dwayne Bowe was already proven to be on a big down swing 😉

    I said "proven"....not old and washed up.....

    Wasn't aware that we traded for Bowe.....(plus, see comment above)......

    Example: We used a 4th to pick Mayle.....the Jets just used a 4th to get Brandon Marshall, NE used a 4th to get Randy Moss, Seattle used 4th & 5th for Marshawn Lynch, Jets got Percy Harvin for a 6th, Jimmy Graham just went to Seattle for a 4th.......

    Last trade we made was a 7th for Andy Lee....(possibly one of our best players too).....

    Cards recently got Carson Palmer for a 6th and 7th......etc etc etc....(there are many many more examples too)

    Lots of good players can be had for a decent price....sure, some may not work out....but hows that draft been working for ya?....

    Heck, if only we hit on 2 out of 5 trades, were are still better than our recent draft history......

  • Well we traded cap money for Bowe.

  • I see what you're saying, but my point about Dwayne Bowe was more about trading for 'proven' stars - just because they work in one place doesn't mean they're great elsewhere. Davone Bess is an example we (along with his blunts) got burnt on. Side note: stop picking up players from Miami.

    I agree on Brandon Marshall, but there aren't many players who will be both available and proven quality. Carson Palmer was not 'proven' before going to AZ. Point is, assume the FAs we signed in the last year we traded a mid-round pick for. We signed them because they were 'proven' right?

    We have signed old cast offs in hindsight, Tramon Williams has been useless since about week three

  • Right....and in the last 2 years we signed Whitner, Hawkins, Dansby, Williams, Starks, Austin, Hartline, Barnidge, Coons & McCown....who are all contributing.....

    and we also signed Bowe &Tate, who busted.....(so....about an 80% plus hit rate).....

    Now, compare that to our last 2 drafts......

    I guess, bottom line, we can all come up with FA's that haven't worked out....Bess and Bowe being the most obvious busts.....but for every bad FA we have signed, I can show you 5 or more bad draft picks....to me, players that have excelled in the league might just be better bet than prospects....

    So....2 really bad FA signings compared to 20 consecutive blown drafts....you can pick your poison, I guess, but Im game to try something new...cause repeating the same mistake over and over and over again doesnt seem to be working too well.....

  • I say we cut Farmer and draft long armed 6'5" De'Runnya Wilson out off Miss. State who had either 1st downs or TD's on 70% of his pass receptions in 2014.
