    Not even close to being the same. We had B. Will and Detroit paid Haloti more than he was worth to us at that point of his career.

    We paid Ngata after his rookie contract and he played here 9 seasons.  As long as the money doesn't get too stupid look for Williams to be here for at least 9 years as well.  

    It may very well be that we lose him, but I'm afraid that the impact would be more than just a "small step back" because right now we don't have anyone close to being comparable on the roster.

    Maybe last year we didnt, but we have Pierce now and hes obviously the next man up in the middle if Williams walks.

    If you think Williams' only contribution is "stuffing the run" you are sadly mistaken.  He constantly eats up blockers and makes others around him better players with his dominating play. Pray we find a way to keep him because we don't have another like him on the roster.

    People said the same thing about Ngata but it turns out we made the right choice by moving him when we did, we had a strong run D before and after Ngata and the same will be true of Williams.

  3. He didnt have to apologize for his opinions but I guess he felt it was too harsh. He was right though about energy, Flaccos cool demeanor might be able to accomodate more personalities but when things get serious and theyre seeking leadership what they really want is someone to lift their energy, only SS is doing that.

    I prefer Rays style of leadership any day of the week, theres something to be said for being genuine with your stream of consciousness and not being PC all the time.

    i said its a wide sweeping attitude, meaning you see suggestions like this very often from lots of people, and they never make any sense. wasnt singling you out with that whole statement ive just noticed lately so many people make super snap judgements deciding certain players  are gonna be cut or traded for almost no reason.

    I can't speak on anyone else I just like bouncing ideas around and yes some of them are going to be longshots or unpopular but we're not all going to agree on everything, I got roasted for saying Conklin and Whitehair were the best linemen in the draft (and they are). Anyways no harm, no foul, you're still one of my favorite posters.

    theres a pretty wide sweeping attitude on these boards that suggest that any player who isnt in a starting role, for any reason, should be cut or traded. cut perriman because hes injured, cut shareece wright because hes a solid depth guy forced into taking too big of a role, cut correa because he hasnt produced in the first 10 weeks of his career, TRADE LA'EL COLLINS BECAUSE HES INJURED... where do these thoughts come from?

    I literally said none of these things I said Collins could be a trade option next season, he's not just hurt they're getting better production from his replacement. No need to get testy over nothing.
