I'm willing to give him another chance. He wasn't as bad as everyone said he was. 

I would disagree.  He didn't know when to take a fair catch.  He would return a kick from 7 yards deep in the end zone and end up returning it to the 17 or something.  He was trying too hard to do too much instead of just making the smart, simple play.

Not to mention the fumbles and face mask blunder against NE :facepalm:

Dude stinks

He wasn't better than G.Whalen because Whalen wasn't sexy but he played "safe" but a couple of bad plays(i think the front office told him that he was about to begin replaced so he tried too hard to make plays), i wouldn't mind to take TY Montgomery around the 5th if he still there, he could be a good number 3-5 WR and he is an excellent returner. I think we are gonna make D. Carter or D. Moncrief return the kicks Cribbs isn't gonna make the team.

I just felt like Cribbs was a liability. He wanted to make big plays happen that never happened, and instead got swallowed up before the 20 or turned it over. I'll be okay with having him another year if the right guy doesn't come along, but I hope we move on. I'd like to get a guy who can return kicks as well as have a real impact for us outside of special teams. Perhaps a DB or WR?

I guess it wouldn't be too bad to give him a chance through camp and pre season. There was a reason he wasn't on a roster when the Colts signed him and it seems to be self explanatory with his inconsistent play. He is not good enough to run routes so his short stint as a receiver didn't work out. He can look good at times but his mistakes seem to come at the worst times. It is never a good thing to have a turnover on a special teams play. Game killers.

Cribbs has more big play potential but we really only saw that a couple times early after we signed him. I'd rather have Whalen back there because he doesn't make *ic decisions like Cribbs does. What he did in New England killed us. I knew the game was over once that happened. He damn near cost us the game in Denver too but he got lucky on that one.

He's been in the league for 10 years, making bad decisions is what he does. If he hasn't figured it out after ten years then he isn't going to figure it out.

I disagree. That muffed punt in the AFCCG has taught him an invaluable lesson. Sometimes it takes that big of a stage to knock sense into players. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt right now. If it continues, that's another story.

We shouldn't have a return specialist anyways.  Our returner should be our #4 or 5 WR or our #4 or 5 CB or our #2 or 3 FS or SS.  Whomever is most qualified from that lot.

 

Basically a player who also provides depth at the position.  Too many kicks go into the endzone these days to justify having a specialized return man.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I bet when Ballard and the Colts looked at their board, they had Murphy and Latua coming off the board. The Bears, ATL, Raiders and the Saints were the teams that I thought may go D with their first pick. The best rush end and DT do not usually last till 15 and 16. It was just an odd year with 6 qbs taken. Then you factor in the 2 Oline and 3 wrs and possibly generational te. It really was the 6 qbs drafted that made this possible.

      Its not stacked when you consider  that their Oline is not good. They went skill and ignored the trenches for the last few years

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      Vikings got Dallas Turner.    Both Love and Rodgers went in the mid to late 20s, so GB could maximize their first rounder value, move back into the first round for the QB that is dropping. So to me, it is not the same.   The downside of using No.8 is if Cousins plays well for 3 years (say), and they haven't made the SB but have made an NFCCG and divisional round (say), they have put Penix in a bad situation and still have nothing to show for such a high value No.8 pick. Penix could get disgruntled like Jordan Love did with Rodgers around asking for a trade and the Falcons have nothing to show for but a stubbornness to not trade Penix Jr. at that point. If Penix Jr. plays after 3 years and is average, they have the same dilemma again 2 years later. So what value did that No.8 pick truly give them?    From what I am hearing, Falcons were the only team that highly interested in Penix Jr., and by picking him at No.8 with players like Odunze, Bowers, best pass rushers like Latu and Turner available, they have put both Cousins and Penix Jr. on a collision course with a potential bad situation 3 years down the road. Raheem Morris' twisted logic was "we might not pick that high next year", and if that were the case, moving back into Round 1 around the 20s giving up a future 1st rounder would put money where his mouth is, trusting their first rounder would be a playoff team type 1st rounder, like the Texans with their Will Anderson trade deal.   Plus, knowing their situation they got themselves into, even if they try to get Cousins traded 2 years later after JUST making a wild card playoff game or divisional round game, other teams will say "fat chance, we ain't bailing you out of a situation you created yourself".

      I think we can give Stafford a little bit of credit. He's a fantastic QB. I think the QB-WR relationship is far more complex than many give credit. They both need each other to do the job well in order for the other to succeed.    Johnson, Kupp, Nacua. All 1,000 yard receivers. All played with Stafford. He knows how to get his star receivers the ball and put them into a position to succeed (YAC). It's why I was really wanting him to come to Indy years ago.

      ATL did not get Turner.  They eventually trade up in the second for an obscure 3T DT.    I read that The GM and HC wanted Latu, but the owner stepped in for Penix because he wanted a succession plan.  Read into that what you want.  Also, I guess since ATL seemed to want to trade up to 10 for Latu, its seems somebody wanted him pretty highly.   That's why there are also thoughts...don't get excited...that Ballard got a bit lucky with latu being there at 15.  Basically, the GMs had the 1st round pegged pretty well, then in swoops Blanc and reshuffles the playing deck for everyone.  LVR was mad too, because they wanted Penix at 13.  So if things would have gone to script....who knows who Ballard would have picked since Latu probably would not have been there.
