Trade for OBJ ?
-
A. Other than Jerry Rice and Ronnie Lott....Joe M. did not play with a lot of HOF players. Compare that to some other dynasties, such as the 70s steelers, 60s Packers, 50s Browns....which each had 10-11 other HOF players on those teams.
1982 - they only had about 3 HOF players: Ronnie Lott, Dwight Clark, Randy Cross
1985 - HOF Roger Craig, Fred Quinlan, Michael Carter, Eric Wright, Carlton Williamson. But they still had Ronnie Lott, Dwight Clark, Randy Cross and other good players
1989 - HOF Roger Craig, John Taylor, Jerry Rice, Guy McIntyer, Ronnie Lott, Mike Cofer. But still had guys like Brent Jones, Tom Rathman, Michael Carter, Charles Haley, Matt Millan, Kevin Fagen
1990 - HOF Jerry Rice, Charles Haley, Ronnie Lott, Guy McIntyre. But still had Brent Jones, Tom Rathman, Michael Carter, Matt Millan, John Taylor, Mike Cofer, Kevin Fagen
Sorry...but if you are implying that all the names you have given were HOF caliber, or even household names......they were not any more household names that the players the Pats have had over the years. And as noted...ONLY Lott and Rice were HOF. The Pats had the likes of Moss, Welker, Bruski, Vrabel, Seymour, ..Gronkowski, Terry Glenn, Troy Brown, Corey Dillon, Logan Mankins, Matt Light, Vince Wilfork, Darrell Revis, LeGarret Blount and others who are every bit as well known as these names.
And FYI....most of the guys you apparently say are HOF....are not: Clark, Cross, Quinlan, Wright, Williamson, Carter, Craig, Taylor, McIntire, Cofer, none are in HOF
And I would have to check on Haley.....but if he is, it is because he split duties with the 49ers and Cowboys.

You're right. The first ones were pro bowlers, my mistake. But Charles Haley and Fred Dean were both HoFs. And the Oline/Dlines were much better than what the Pats were dealing with.

I don't think that is necessarily true. Matt Light, Mankins, Nate Solder....They don't take a back seat to Randy Cross....and whoever else played on the 49ers OL. I don't think.

On the radio today they were tossing around a swap of number one picks. With some other incentives. On the upside if they were hungry for a quarterback we weren't going to take at number 1 fine. On the downside he's a team cancer and wants a new deal which would be astronomical.
And still not Head and Shoulders, if anything at all, above Landry and Gordon.

Beckham’s much better than Landry.

Not really an apples to apples comparison, Landry is a slot receiver.

There's these Ambrosia apples that the local Sam's Club carries... outstanding!

Unfortunately teams from today can't go back to the eighties and play each other, so we'll never know. It's like the argument of who was better between the 80's 49ers and the Steelers of the 70's.

No, won't even bother. But I think you get my drift.
We've been down this road before. Some pointed it out earlier in this thread. Even an upper echelon HOF running back can't win multiple Super Bowls by himself. Jim Brown=1, Walter Payton=1, Barry Sanders=0, Ladanian Tomlinson=0, Adrian Peterson=0. Some guys are making Saquon into a best version of all the previously mentioned- and he isn't.
BTW, looking at the top 25 all time in rushing yardage only three (Brown, Payton, and Sanders) played their entire careers with one team.

Well, its a good thing we have a future HOFer sitting on our bench right now. Hogan handing it off to Barkley will carry the Browns to multiple future SBs.

Jarvis Landry wasn’t happy with his # of targets in Miami (which was shitloads) and yet he’s asking the Browns to get OBJ
I don’t think he’s thought this through...

I would give them this offer.
Switch 1st picks in both the 1st and 2nd rounds.
Give them next years 2nd rounder and the Patriots 2019 future 3rd rounder... and Drew Stanton.
Gordon, ODB, Landry, Louis and Coleman~ Njoku and DeValve ~ Saquon, Hyde and Duke... I wouldn't care if Daffy Duck was playing QB- There is no stopping that offense.
- Combined with Haley's pick and roll offense, it would be deadly? Do you know de way?

Beckham is going to want $20 Million a year. Someone is going to be stupid enough to do it and I hope it's not the Browns.
Two 1sts+$20M per=disaster.

Jimbo, you are correct IMO.
We have moved too far forward to negate that progress in one move.

It would take getting Gordon/ODB/Landry to sit down together and decide how much is too much and if there is room for the three of them to achieve a level of satisfaction without breaking the bank. You could sign all to a 3 year deal. Rotate the big contract years between them. But imagine the TV money and endorsement deals that could come along with that triple threat at WR... They would have to know that we have a certain cap on WR money available, you need a team around them. Look at some of the examples of Players taking pay cuts to ensure the team won't suffer because that's what would have happened.

But what about Barkley? Is he involved in the sit down? How many touches is he gonna get with those three guys? Not to mention Njoku and Hyde!

Barkley is going to be a huge part of that. But for 4 years, with a team option 5th year, he's going to be on his mandatory rookie contract, correct?
With that team we could be top 3 in offensive production and scoring. Could be better than "the greatest show on turf" to be honest.
Barkley is a team guy, he's not going to complain about his touches, as long as he can help us win, either by running the ball, catching out of the backfield, play action fakes, pass protection, kickoff/punt returns, he's going to be happy.

I'd insist giving UP my first two 1st round p(r)icks for Sandra Bullock..but for Simon OBJ Pheonix for a 16M yearly rental? N(D)OPE!!

Are you Hogan's agent now?
It's going to be such a pleasure when noodle-arm Hogan is released.
Nothing against the kid, but we've had to read his name about 100,000 times more than we ever should have because of one mentally-deficient stalker of his.
