Call me crazy, but what about Trading Fleener and signing Cameron?


Recommended Posts

Long story short...

 

Fleener is still on rookie deal and Cameron is gonna want the money. We lose.

 

Fleener is a second round pick who would fetch us MAYBE a fourth round pick(Julius Thomas being on the market drives down Fleener's value right now). We lose.

 

If the Colts did make this happen I don't foresee Cameron's numbers being much better, if at all, than Fleener's in an offense with so many weapons. We lose.

Yeah bro that's pretty crazy. First up, We have enough holes to fill this offseason without creating more. Second, Fleener is a really, really good TE. I know he's had his drops and what not, but he has and will continue to improve every single year. Don't be surprised if he isn't viewed as a top 10 TE next season BTW. I expect him to be personally.

Pretty big risk for a pretty low reward.  

 

Jordan Cameron Career  (4 years)

 

47 games played - 130 catches out of 217 targets for 1600 yards, 10 TD's

 

Coby Fleener Career  (3 years)

 

44 games played - 129 catches out of 228 targets for 1663 yards, 14 TD's

 

Considering that their career stats are pretty similar and Fleener has played one full year less then Cameron. . . I'd rather have Fleener.

 

Cameron had 1 good year where he got 917 receiving yards.  He followed that up with 424 receiving yards.  Prior to that he had 2 pretty forgettable years of 33 yards his rookie year and 226 yards his 2nd year.

 

Fleener was pretty much option 2 this year after Hilton in terms of pass catching.

    • In one of the interviews I listened to with Scott and a Tenn Titans reporter a few months back he was asked what's one of the things that separates you? He said probably what is between my ears. High football IQ, understanding of the game and instincts.
    • Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !
    • Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)      
    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.
