The Chiefs kinda screwed Zorn over though.

Zorn really should just go try and coach college.

Stanford Rout was just released by the Raiders today, i would take a long good look at signing him. He already has visits with the Bills and Titans.

I would take Luck over RGIII simply because I trust him to handle the beating he will take at the next level. Little doubt that RGIII is tough but I've seen him struggle to get more then I'd care to admit.

Routt isn't any good I wouldn't sign him

CultBrennan59 · 02-10-2012, 01:21 AM

I read somewhere (either profootballfocus or twitter) that Stanford Routt led the league in TD's allowed (9) and penalties (17) among corners. No Thanks! Also I loved the idea of getting Brandon Carr, then I noticed that Carr would go against the teams no. 2 WR, which makes him less attractive to me as a FA option.

the only real CBs i'd look at would be grimes or drafting claiborne.

Finnegan, Tarrell Thomas, Tracy Porter..you wouldn't go for one of them either?

tc2deuce · 02-10-2012, 02:56 AM

You can add Carr to the list

skinsfaninok · 02-10-2012, 06:03 AM

I'm sure they are. But they just gave 9 mil per year to Flowers, so you have to wonder how wise it would be to sign another CB to elite level money.

I'll be watching what kind of a tender Will Middleton gets. He could be a major FA sleeper, imo.

Not sure how. He turned down their offer to be the OC.

I don't understand why they are willing to let him walk, but not interview for the other OC job in Chicago.

SmootSmack · 02-10-2012, 10:09 AM

I never met Zorn but from all accounts I've heard from others who have he's a really nice guy who people foolishly believe is a pushover. He's not the innocent victim in these multiple dismissals from teams he's had over the years. He shrewdly plays sides is what I've heard and that ultimately leads to locker room strife

He did not turn down their offer to be OC.

You explain how they screwed him over in your own post.
They denied him an interview with the Bears and then passing him over for their own OC job.

In the meantime the Bears hired Bates as their QB coach and other coaching spots around the league have been filled.
