Maybe, but Blankenship imo has the more potential down the road.

When it comes to assuming that one knows more than the top level professionals in charge of the team, you certainly are consistent.

I swear they cut Mclaughlin and kept Blankenship just so they could keep the streak of an undrafted FA making the team every year going. Conspiracy theory here, but I'm going with it. This was a terrible move. The more I think about this, the more it makes me mad.

Yeah, one of the biggest roster moves based off last season's kicking woes and we jeopardize team play by continuing a UDFA streak. Okay.

I think that definitely could have had something to do with it. I'm not mad about it, because I think Blankenship has every chance to be good... but if he struggles I know in my mind I'll be thinking they only kept him for the streak (whether that's fair or not, lol). I liked Chase.

The funny thing is, if the exact opposite happened, and I complained about Blankenship getting cut instead, you would of said the exact same thing. You are a yes man, plain and simple. I'm not even going to bother trying to have a civil talk with you about this.

In a business sense, Ballard can use it as a selling point after the draft each year when trying to sign UDFAs. So it isn't out of the question that he's doing this on purpose for a purpose.

did you even see Blankenship kick in college? cause by the way you speak about him it doesn't seem like you did he's one of the best in recent years and was damn near perfect on extra points his entire college career

I had a feeling once Blankenship outplayed him in clutch time the final scrimmage as well as having the better pedigree in college the brass made their mind up.

 

Chase isnt bad could well be one of the best 32 and find a home . I write off his up and down rookie season to nerves somewhat, 50% from 40-49 wont win many fans and the bad miss for 49'ers in ot cost them the game vs Seattle but the bottom end of the league kickers isnt great.

 

This move may win me the roster contest on here as several had Chase (Some had both)

Patriots wanted Chase during waivers last year but we had a higher waiver priority at the time. Now I expect the patriots to go after him. I heard that they just released their drafted kicker.

Patriots just released a drafted kicker and Nick Folk. They are starting over at kicker.

I have a feeling this rookie is going to be the right choice.  He has the experience of playing in big stadiums and hostile crowds. Because he is a rookie, I think the coaching staff and everyone around him will pick up their game. Furthermore I have a feeling that his compadre, Rigoberto will calm Rodrigo with some calming and wise spanish sayings before his kicks.

obviously not most things i have read said both were good not surprised they went with the higher upside rookie 

I keep hearing Specs has all this untapped potential that Chase just doesn't.... It's not like McLaughlin is some grizzled vet.... He was a rookie last yr.

Well, he asked a stupid question, so I gave a stupid answer! hahahaha 

 

Despite your attempt at sarcasm, if you're not at camp and witnessing what's going on, then you have no knowledge on what happened.

 

For all we know, McLaughlin could have missed 200 kicks in a row.

      MMQB: How the Wentz trade went down

      By crazycolt1 · Posted

      With some of the stuff that was going on with the Eagles it's not unreasonable of me to think it didn't have an effect on the whole QB/coaches/GM relationships with each other. And none of it being good for the team. Regardless I am not going to point a finger at anybody. I don't care. All I care about is from now forward.  IMO we are a better team right now that we were a few days ago.

      I think Reich will turn him around and beleives in him. If Reich had a real issue with his character, I doubt the trade would habe happened.

      BProland's Updated Colts Mock (Post Wentz trade)

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Ok...   that’s an interesting position and certainly not unreasonable.   I can think of many high quality posters here who would agree with you.      But how do we measure this?   Which position(s) could Ballard pick that would make someone say he clearly picked BPA over need?    Let’s say the first three rounds, and yes, I know we currently don’t have a 3rd round pick, but we might.    Personally...   I don’t see us taking a QB in the first 3 rounds.   I don’t see us taking a running back with the first 3 rounds.   I don’t see us taking a DT with the first 3 rounds.  Nor do I see us taking a safety in the first 3 rounds.    Otherwise...  OL, WR, and TE are all possible for me on off.   And DE and CB are possible on def.    I’m iffy on LB, could go either way.   Blue’s Girl, what do you say?   What does everyone else think?

      Deshaun Watson Officially Requests Trade

      The Jets could be one team headed up quicker than many of the other 31, but I hope the Jets draft a QB at April pick #2. DeShaun really needs to move to Chicago.

      By EastStreet · Posted

      Yup, I think there was a ton that contributed to the bad situation. HIm, bad/injured OL, aging skill, and a whole lot more. The clear winner in the trade was Wentz IMO. Only time will tell if Indy or Philly or also winners. At this point in time, I really don't care about his past. If he gets back to form, nobody will care. If he struggles, the topic will become relevant once again.   Let's just hope a fresh start, good OL, and his chemistry with Reich are enough to get him back to at minimum 2019 form. I think that would be enough to compete in the playoffs.
