Merged:*Rumor* Dolphins looking for Wr help before trade deadline

I heard were trading for Ted Ginn Jr.

 

I wouldn't mind firebombing the Patriots secondary for that loss. Dan Marino style 1994 firebombing.

Oh ya and then Ronnie Brown runs over them to boot. The makings of a top offense are there. Maybe a RB in the first round next year, a little bit more depth on the offensive line and that's something (don't necessarily need another TE if you're going 3 WR early and often).

 

and since you never answered it, what about TO beeing washed up....

 

FF, could you please describe the responsibilities of the pivot man in a circle jerk?

 

now thats my boy....been wanting him in aqua since he came out.

 

Everybody knew that, like any trade, it was more unlikely than likely. Nobody argued that. What was clearly wrong was the contention that SD was unwilling to trade Jackson. They obviously spoke to many teams and were willing to trade at a certain price. That price was high, IMO above what they should have expected in the WR market, but it wasn't so high that it was impossible for a desperate team to meet it. The only back and forth was over the contention that the Chargers were not willing to trade Jackson which was proven incorrect. You seem to be patting yourself on the back for predicting that an unlikely event that everybody agreed was unlikely didn't occur.

 

Thick? LOL

Comes with instructions...

 

Yeah he is a beast.

 

It was nice to hear during the Patriot game that the F.O. is quite high on Wallace. But he's still a pretty raw prospect, I think, to put in that position just yet.

 

Might as well lock the entire FORUMS section up for the rest of the day MODS.
No way in HELL anybody tops this one!!!

 

What about it?

Actually, that was where I was most correct. San Diego never had any interest in trading Jackson, as in they never engaged in any good faith tactics to seriously work towards a trade deal. They granted Seattle permission to talk to Jackson without Seattle asking for it and without Jackson requesting it. They jacked up their trade demands when it appeared the Vikings had reached a preliminary contract deal with Jackson, just to ensure a trade never happened. Their price was enough to turn the New England “we have eight draft picks in the first four rounds” Patriots away with just one phone call. The Rams’ interest was exploratory, and they seem to be out of the WR market, as they passed on the chance to claim Devin Thomas. The Chargers never intended to trade Jackson. They want a McNeill-like resolution, not a Moss-like resolution.

So yeah, I was right. Ozzy, give me more back patting diagrams. Double resolution.

 

I think we could probably get him for a conditional 1st in 2012

 

As much as I bashed Ginn pads, I wanted him to stay one more year to see if Beast could open his game up....

 

Being open was never Ted Ginn's problem.

 

That's just speculation on your part. You're just using the fact that an unlikely event, that everybody agreed was unlikely, didn't happen as proof that your speculation was right. You're obviously free to keep patting yourself on the back, but I think you're the only one who believes you were right or that it was such a great prediction. Maybe if you keep saying it, you'll convince some people you were right. I don't know, but IMO it would be similar to me saying at the beginning of the season that no team would go undefeated this year and then spending the rest of the season telling everybody how smart I was. I don't think anybody would be convinced I was all that smart b/c of it.

 

It’s an educated deduction based on all of the evidence available. When the Chargers invited the Seahawks out of the blue to talk to Jackson, then red flags went up and stayed there. I don’t see anything that would infer this was a routine good faith trade situation like Moss to Minnesota, or Harrison-Bell, or any other deal.

That analogy would apply only if I said “no player in the NFL will be traded this year because their teams don’t want to deal them” or something along those lines. Instead I just said “based on the evidence available, the Chargers aren’t engaging in good faith negotiations to trade Jackson”.

If you believe the imaginary former point as a rule of thumb, that teams don’t want to trade their star players, then I don’t know what the controversy is over the real latter point, that San Diego had no intention of trading Jackson.

And that’s pretty much all I have to say on the topic.

 

Its speculation whether or not it was not good faith negotiation or whether the Chargers came in with a price and just stuck to it. AJ Smith has a reputation for setting the price high and sticking to it so its not reasonable to say that couldn't have been what happened here.

As for not saying anything else on the topic, if that was what you had done to begin with then no one would have been posting diagrams of people patting themselves on the back.

 

I'm telling you ALL (Especially you Des)an the Colts will NOT trade Peyton Manning before the season is over.
You can all speculate all you want, but I will come back in February and prove I was right.

 

LOL I'll save part two for another day then....

 

Let me guess, an automatic one of THESE:

Des---><---rest of forums?
(3 times in 2 days. )

 

My bad Desides. I did not mean to put the wrong image up. I'm not calling you fat here either because I don't have any idea. Just posting the correct gender.

 

I think thats against TOS.

 

LOL, na

I was trying to find it. It's a gif of the same images that actually moves to the numbers. I saw that thing and freaking died.

 

And...no offense......thanks for anyone not sharing that image.......lol

 

Ginn looked good against the Eagles. Had a nice over the middle catch.

 

since when does 1 catch over the middle (isnt that what you are supposed to do?) makes you "look good" ???

 

Maybe the fact he actually caught a ball AND didn't run out of bounds

 

Considering its very unlike Ginn to even catch a ball especially going over the middle.


I do think its quite sad that in 1 game Ginn had more yards as a returner than anyone we had back there thus far. That is where we miss him.

 

I think its quite sad that Ginn had basically one good game as a returner for us (Although he couldn't have picked a better game to do it in).

 

like ck said.....1 good game. even 2 good games? sure. then 14 bad games.

 

I watched that SF/PHI game and Ginn definitely looks much diff as a returner.

Basically, he looks like he got some of the ***** out of him. Not looking for the sideline, cutting back inside, nice hesitation moves..

Where the f was that when he was here?

 

That's an exaggeration.

This board is full of exaggerations at this point though.

 

I'd give my left nut to get a pass catching threat like that at TE.

 

It just seemed to me that Ginn actually had lanes or holes to run through that didn't exist when he was here.

 

he had more catches over the middle last season than Greg Camarillo

 

not really
