Quote:Julius, Demarco, and a decent RT and Bortles has absolutely NO excuses next year. 
 

besides the fact that hes a second year qb with a brand new coaching staff and players?

Quote:And it really surprises me they arent linked to McCourtey. FS makes Gus' defensive system tick. He would be my number 1 target.
How many times do I have to say it, McCourty doesnt want to come here, of course we want him, but the factors are against us

To casual fans, Bortles must be the second coming of Brett Favre by his second year or he's a bust.

Even if we do land Murray and Thomas, expectations still need to be tempered. While massive upgrades and quality players, they will not be enough to turn a 3-13 team into a Super Bowl contender and may still not even be enough to be a playoff contender. Realistic expectations on those 2 signings alone is to have our highest win total in the last 5 years, winning at least 6, anything more would need to be considered extra at this point.

Dude im not expecting him to be a pro bowler. Last year he was totally inept. Im just hoping for mediocrity.

I like the Julius potential signing but I don't get the Murray one. What's special about him? He played behind the best rushing Oline in the league and saw 7 man fronts due to Dez being on the outside.


Not to mention his injury concerns. I'd rather roll into camp with Denard and Toby and a draft pick this year. Running backs are a dying breed. I'd rather spend more money on a WR, Hudson and Bulaga.

You don't know that. Pay him a good chunk more than any other team and he's probably going where the money is. Stop with the absolutes.

Quote:And McCoy has 527 more carries then Murray. I'm sure that comes into play with contracts, Murray is going to get paid.


That's due to Murray missing games his first two years versus McCoy being pretty durable over his last five. McCoy was drafted in 2009, Murray was 2011 as well so there is your disparity in carries.


I'm not opposed to Murray. Him being 27 is a plus to what I thought. I don't want us making him the highest paid rb. Especially when other options exist.


Murray may be beginning to hit his stride and if Caldwell gets him I won't be disappointed. I just think the line he ran behind had a lot to do with his success and we just don't have that right now.

I love Denard and think he can be a starter, but Demarco is a darned good player. Wouldnt mind spending some of our ample money to give Blake some proven help.

I'm not one to like signing running backs in free agency, but the offensive line thing is overblown. Murray has great vision, fantastic power, and breakaway speed. To take away his talent and award everything he's done to his o-line is ridiculous.

I just dont understand why do people not want a guy who lead the NFL in rushing and is 27, Frank Gore is 32 and had a solid year last year

And we've officially entered the over exaggeration period of Free Agency on the message board!

6.11 yards per attempt, 6 more ints than TDS. Less than 60% completion. Thats pretty inept. 

 

Not saying the kid is doomed because you can tell he has some good traits. He needs A LOT of refinement though.
