Did that worry Chip a bit?

[eaglesnut]

Couldn't agree more with this statement! Ameer would be a fantastic fit in this scheme and culture -- one helluva ball player and an even better human being.

His hands don't fit Chip's preferred measurables. You can pretend that doesn't matter all you want, but it does matter to Chip.

Deal breaker!!!

You might not have a problem with fumbles, but Chip does and Chip knows that you can't coach hand size.

Hand size doesn't have as much to do with fumbles as we're making it seem here. I know Chip is big on his "measurables" -- but nothing is that black and white, and him treating these arbitrary values like gospel is a mistake if you ask me.

Here....

I give you the solution to your problems.

Could you please post a picture of him in September/October of this year? I thought amber was a smaller back....

5'9 205 is considered smallish for an NFL RB. He was rocked up like that all college season. Much tougher than his size would indicate

You can get your hopes up at our 2nd and 3rd round picks if you'd like. Just prepare to be disappointed and now you'll know why.

After the last week, there is very little Chip could do to surprise/disappoint me any more than he already has.

I just mean as you're sitting there on your couch watching the draft and going "oh wow Ameer is available and we don't have a RB. YES!" And then Chip drafts Hroniss Grasu instead.

Everybody was rippin' on enut on page 1.

<10 hours later, it all changed....

 

[Birds4life81]

You throw enough shit against the wall and somethings bound to stick

 

[L.Freamon]

I'll be honest i'm usually the first to rip Enut myself. I was shocked to find out his opinion...and that i agreed with it.

I will see if I can find one, but he has been that size this whole past year. He was pound-for-pound the strongest player on our team in a landslide. He squatted more than anyone on the entire line.

LOL been used to it most of my life. I was just honestly asking what we all thought that Chip was thinking. In the OP, the only opinion I gave was that I liked Franklin being a part of the plan.

 

[Iggloo]

Eaglesnut was right.

 

[WIZ]

It's not over yet.

 

[eaglesnut]

It's not over yet.

I keep praying the QB situation is!!

 

[WIZ]

Well if he extends Bradford he's keeping him. If he lets that bloated salary stick he's not.

I know. I thought the conditional picks in the trade would make it clearer, but I still haven't seen exactly what those conditions are.
