Smart teams make system specific personnel moves not based on the players previous production with their former team.
Smart teams make value based decisions based on thier projection for the player in their system for his defined role.

So back to current stuff, the Rams sign Steve Smith 2.0.

I thought he showed great promise back in the day in New York, when he had that 100 catch season, but ever since he got injured it appears he hasn't been the same. I thought Philly was getting a steal this time last year, and one year later he's with the Rams. I guess this is a low risk/high reward scenario for the Rams.

At the time of the trade, Miami made out like a bandit.

Look at his numbers in Miami the two years.

2005-----29 recs 434yards
2006-----67recs 687 yards

Getting a 2nd and 7th rounder for a guy that only produced those kinds of stats is a work of genius really. Especially for a undrafted free agent.

if you saw him play, you knew he was better than those stats and miami wasn't using him right. I think I said it was a steal at the time. Miami's offense wasn't exactly amazing back then (not that it's all that much better now).

This is why most of the players that Vinny Cerratto signed through free agency didn't work out because of this very reason. While Cerratto did have some talent at scouting and selecting young players in the draft at times, his eye for free agent talent was extremely poor because he only saw how that particular player performed in his initial system and not how that player WOULD perform for us. This why Adam Archuletta, Brandon Lloyd, and so many others that he signed through free agency didn't turn out well.

San Francisco 49ers reached agreement with former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs.

I would say that Lloyd didn't work out because of his attitude, not scheme fit.

But you are spot on about Arch Deluxe.

Thats a really good pickup for San Fran. Good Fit. 49ers gonna be loaded next year.

12thMan · 03-28-2012, 12:24 PM

So the 49ers have Moss, Manningham, and Jacobs. Mmkay.

The Giants have lost two of three named above.

Which is exactly what you want from your 2nd round pick.

Of course...

Which brings me to an interesting question... which player has the most Super Bowl rings from different teams?
