Randle El still useful?

tdSKINS1 · 09-01-2009, 04:31 PM

Your crazy if you think he was a better runner then Vick in college. He was very good but no where near Vick as a better QB.

I would go with mitchell we certainly need some height at wr which we finally seem 2 be getting. now if Vinnie would just get his head out of danny's hind parts long enough to realize we still need some depth on the O Line

ARE wont beat out Kelly. I'm not sure about salary cap stuff but I get the impression that his cap number is too high to let him go which is good for him because I think he could be gone if he wasnt too expensive to cut.

He doesn't have to, Kelly is going to be the #2 and ARE will be in the #3, slot position that we always intended on putting him. They're not competing against each other (right now, at least).

Kelly or Thomas are shooting for a starting #2 spot and ARE will be in the slot as the #3.

Randle brings experience to the table. He is useful he can be that " wildcat" quarterback, How ever his role in the offense is not as profound as it once was i think he might be on his way out soon. Kelly having a good season would solidify it.

BleedBurgundy · 09-01-2009, 09:03 PM

I think Moss should be playing in the slot ideally. We just don't have the personnel to make that happen.

DFI · 09-01-2009, 10:11 PM

hey there bleed burgandy I love your signature. He always produces something even if it is a 99 yard pick 6

GusFrerotte · 09-01-2009, 10:30 PM

My beef with ARE was the frigging $$$$$$$$$ You pay a guy that amount of chump change and you better produce. Albert Connell was more exciting than ARE.

Can't be mad at ARE for the contract he signed. Blame for front office for that.

Meks · 09-01-2009, 10:45 PM

great slot reciever, great threat in a wildcat formation, which we "wont run" .... leader on and off the field and really does have a good set of hands... he's dangerous

i wouldnt cut him or trade him.

Beemnseven · 09-02-2009, 07:29 AM

Judging by his results over the past three seasons, I don't see how anyone can label him "dangerous". Even with a career high in receptions last year, he didn't make us a potent offense.

freddyg12 · 09-02-2009, 08:28 AM

Like it or not (most of us don't), until one of these young bucks actually makes plays in regular season games, ARE is the 2nd best wr on the team. To talk about cutting him, even if feasible w/the cap, is a bit of an overeaction. Especially talking about Mitchell. I like the guy too, but let's see the guy make the roster first.

hooskins · 09-02-2009, 08:49 AM

I don't think he is all that bad. I don't understand why people say El sucks now? Obviously we overpaid him, but I think he has done a good job and he is consistent. Also pretty injury free. I don't understand how people expect more.

Plus, he can be like a spark plug, always hyper and getting the team to bring up their energy level....great locker room guy and fun for the fans too.

Yes, he still needs to produce on the field to stay around, but I believe he will this season.

Jay Schroeder · 09-02-2009, 12:03 PM

I never thought he was very good

Dude has never scored 5 tds in a season or come that close to any benchmark stat that warrants his salary..

I thought he was going to be good in the return game for us when we got him, but I dont recall him doing much of anything in that aspect either
