Might have been worth throwing a late pick at them. We were never going to win a waiver claim.

Yeah, seems like they would have taken a conditional sixth or seventh round pick over cutting him. Conditioned that he actually makes and stays on our roster.

Same here. The nutswingers really drive me crazy. Clearly, they caught lightning in a bottle and had a great defense that allowed them to win games while scoring little. Bottom line, if Elway doesn't think you're good, you're probably not.

No idea why the Pats wouldn't. They are usually savvy about milking every player for everything they are worth. Seems a bit odd that they would release him without at least seeing if someone would give them a pick or a player.

Yes, they were/are. I think his dad runs some kind of evangelical business.

I think one of those games was the 51-48 shootout against Manning. Broncos had a contender ... we didn't. We had 17 straight pass attempts to close out the game.
Just no discipline, run-pass balance, or pride on defense. We were content to let Tony sling it.

Losses aren't exclusively a QB Statistic. It's a team stat.

Looks like Philly saved use a bad pick with that fourth round trade. I'm glad we got Switzer even though he's yet to play.

Yeah I've never seen a more below average looking athlete. When a guy is super small they should at least have elite speed or tremendous balance. Pumphrey has neither. He is average to below average in every way possible.

I like him better than Carroll, but maybe he's not.
Sometimes a guy seems to need a change of scenery though. Newman flat out sucked here by the end of his time in 2011.
But he went on to have a nice run in Cincinnati and he's actually been very good in Minnesota. So you never know. Haden is young enough too.

Well this explains why the Browns got rid of him. But I also think analytics in football are deeply flawed at times. I also fail to believe that a 28 year old has fallen off that much from the elite player he was.

You said in the other thread that he'd instantly be our best CB. I don't think that's necessarily true. I think Scandrick is probably better as a cover player at this point. But he could be a cheap gamble that should be no worse than Carroll at least, and potentially much better.

I don't know. Scandrick was worse than Brown last year. But Brown may be better than Hayden.
But as hard as we are on our corners imagine playing for the Browns. You have no pass rush, no other good corners, a team that doesn't give a shit if they lose because it's expected and an offense that continually goes 3 and out and turns the ball over. It's basically hell for a corner. So it's not surprising that after years that word on Hayden. I imagine a change of scenery would be huge for him.
