Predict the biggest free agent bust this season.

[Dustin]

Take contract into consideration if you want.

 

imho, Ed Reed will prove to be the worst FA signing this year. 

[House]

[Andy]

Toss up between Paul Kruger and Cliff Avril.

[Derakynn]

I think Paul Kruger would be a good choice. So glad we didn't get him. 

[jameszeigler834]

will see did any of you see the pats are getting destroyed by the lions.

[Qwiz]

Ahmad Bradshaw

[21isSuperman]

I gotta go with Mike Wallace.  The Dolphins gave him 5 years and $60 mil and I don't think he deserves that much.  Sure, he is a good deep threat, but what else?

[jvan1973]

Ahmad Bradshaw

how can a second string rb be a bust?

i agree with this.

[Qwiz]

So you're saying the best blocking back on your team isn't going to see the field much?

[James]

Ed Reed will be a bust. Hilton will burn him and the other Texans DBs on the regular.

[BlueCollarColts]

Ahmad Bradshaw

We signed him to like a 2 million dollar contract on a 1 year deal..... how can he even be a bust?

[jvan1973]

So you're saying the best blocking back on your team isn't going to see the field much?

third downs

[Qwiz]

We signed him for like 1.5 million dollars..... how can he even be a bust?

I can see a variety of reasons, but everyone else is throwing out names without conviction, so I thought I'd join the fun.

[House]

Hate vision.

[BOTT]

I 2nd Mike Wallace

[jvan1973]

well name the reasons

[Qwiz]

third downs

I don't think he'd like that very much. That would make passing plays a bit more predictable as well if you're saying what I think you're saying.

[Qwiz]

Hate vision.

Dream on.

[jvan1973]

I don't think he'd like that very much. That would make passing plays a bit more predictable as well if you're saying what I think you're saying.

he will be second on the depth chart and is making 1.5. doesn't fall into the bust type category

[House]

Dream on.

Yeah I'm imagining you naming a Colts free agent, after several people listed a Texans free agent

Lol shoulda said DHB. Would have at least been reasonable/valid.

[BlueCollarColts]

If Bradshaw is healthy, then we got a starting caliber running back and he will be our starter, if he isn't, Vick Ballard will get the opportunity to build off his impressive rookie season, low risk, high reward move, I predict about 50-50 snaps between Ballard and Bradshaw 

[Qwiz]

well name the reasons

I'm curious as to the Ed Reed notion myself. But to entertain you, I'd say that one would be his injury history and another would be the prospect that the offense will still be airing it out 40 times a game, no matter what balance Hamilton is preaching.

[Qwiz]

I was acting like everyone else throwing out theories without explaining the logic behind it. No surprise I'm attacked lol. I'm not the guy being trollish and uttering the ill-meant "inbefore" cliche. Now that sir is hating.

[Qwiz]

Expectations can easily contribute more to the term bust than salary can on certain occasions.

[MTC]

Does Joe Flacco count?

[Qwiz]

Does Joe Flacco count?

He definitely should lol. He's gonna come back down to earth if the Bengals and Steelers are as good as they could be. Facing Texans, Patriots, Broncos won't help him much either.

[House]

I wasn't wrong lol. I knew right where this would head, and it did just that. Not really hating or trolling, but sure why not

The thread also wasn't "who is it and explain your theory behind it." However you were clearly annoyed that people were naming Ed Reed. So when you name a Colts player clearly people are going to want to refute it in the exact same way you wanted to refute Ed Reed. Not exactly attacking you.

[Dustin]

I'm curious as to the Ed Reed notion myself.

He's slow, misses a lot of tackles, allows to many passes completed into his coverage, he's already injured, he's old and his wheels are about to fall off and they let a better, younger safety walk to sign him.

[Qwiz]

Why refute me if my supposed refuting is following the topic MO? That's what I don't get but yes, some topics everyone knows exactly how they will go.

[House]

So it's trolling to predict how Texans fans will react to Ed Reed being called a potential bust?Noted.

I never said the people naming Ed Reed wasn't because "hater vision", I was just jokingly responding to a poster, (hater vision, like heat vision, it's a Superman thing) who questioned you. I never questioned you. Your motivation was quite clear lol.

[Qwiz]

He's been signed more for his leadership and experience more than anything else. He's the most instinctive guy I've seen play and I think he will pay dividends to the team's defense like Manning did in Denver. Hall of Famers seem to play well into their later years too from what I've seen. Just hoping for the best anyway, I think Reed is a big upgrade from Glover Getrunover Quin.

somewhere oldunclemark just peed himself a little bit  

 

 

 

I don't quite get all the Ed Reed hate unless it's just people wanting to bait the texans fans.  I'm not sure Kruger will prove to be fully worth the contract he got but I don't think he'll bust either. 

 

I'm gonna agree with Mike Wallace.

To be fair, im the only person who said anything about Reed.

If I would have said Ryan Lilja or LeGarette Blount I'm sure I would have seen similar disagreements from each respective party. Only natural lol. Just the nature of the forum....but like you said, anyone could see that disagreements were forthcoming.

James did too...post #11  

[Dustin]

Ah didn't see that... my bad.

Pretty much exactly why I said our resident Texans fans will likely disagree lol.

Bradshaw has missed 8 games in 5 seasons. 

[Qwiz]

Speak of the Devil and he will appear If anything you encouraged me, but just having a little good old-fashioned ribbing fun.
