Yesterday morning I posted the comment “it looks like the Jaguars may have actually gotten this one right by letting this guy go.”

I respectfully withdraw that comment and ask that it be stricken from the record.

T.O. was a diva, but also a very hard worker, which is why he lasted in the league.

Ochocinco is certainly not washed up yet either, he’s just not smart enough to understand the Pat’s playbook yet.

Neither of these players is my type of receiver by the way, I like heroics and selflessness much more.

To echo a sentiment that has already been expressed on here – it looks like the Jaguars may have actually gotten this one right but letting this guy go.

Of course you can make the argument that they got it WRONG by drafting him in the first place.

Sounds like a great fit in Miami.

Kinda funny that Seattle has finally realized the 49ers will well exceed that 7-9 record Seattle managed last year so they have resorted to picking on the Rams. Like TJ was such a monumental pickup for you guys last year huh? I sure remember a ton of Seattle fans predicting 11 to 12 wins last year also. Nobody denies Rice’s play making ability, they doubt his durability. You guys act like he’s Jerry Rice though, and that’s where a big problem lies.

————————————————–

Leave it to a 49er fan. I remember niner fans talking all big like they were headed to the SB at the begining of last season, and then finishing 6-10. You act like your team hasn’t sucked for the past 8 years…

TJ was sent packing last year, and Carroll didn’t bring him in Jim Mora Jr. did. I swear 49er fans can’t talk without either Jerry Rice or Joe Montanna coming outta their mouths. Jerry Rice was a great player no one denies that, but just because he was a great player doesn’t mean there will never be anyone come along just as great if not better. How about you stop living in the past, and quit comparing every WR that comes along to Jerry.

facelessman: because after QB, WR probably requires the most hard work of any NFL position. Learning the playbook not just for routes but for blocking assignments, working on your route running technique, being in insane physical shape, keeping your hands sharp and knowing where to put them, developing timing with a QB, learning opponent tendencies to take advantage of safety/CB weaknesses, etc. It’s not just run fast -> catch ball, it’s a hard, hard job.

It’s why Rice was the best ever, why guys like Derrick Mason stayed dependable, if not productive, into their mid-30s, and why divas flame out: there’s way more studying, practice, and technique involved, and you can’t get away with being just a great athlete.

Owens was quite the diva receiver and he was plenty productive into his mid 30′s.

Pats will pick him up. They love players with two last names. Tully Bantha-Cain, BenJarvis Green-Ellis, Tom Brady-Bundchen… MSW will fit right in.

So if the Rams end up with the #1 pick do they take Andrew Luck despite Sam Bradford?

By: Andre's Johnson

Andre's Johnson — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 02:08:21 +0000

Yeah, Texans, let’s go. Get MSW and cut that Bryant Johnson guy (who the hell is that, anyway?).

That would give the Texans:

Andre Johnson
Kevin Walter
Derrick Mason
Jacoby Jones
Mike Sims-Walker

Not bad.

Why in the world would anybody pick up a Jags receiver to begin with?! If he’s not good enough to stick around in Jacksonville, the only place left is Arena Football!

Come on Texans, pick this guy up on the cheap. Anyone with any amount of talent can be good next to Andre!! Well except SMALL HANDS Jacoby

Jaguars play the Texans in two weeks – so, yes please sign Sims-Walker so we don’t have to worry about him actually catching the ball…

Ah Sweetnlow, see it really has nothing to do with the niners, other than you idiots have been flapping your gums all year about the seahawks being the best team by far. You are right though, I forgot they paid him 7 million to walk away a year after signing him and everyone exclaiming he was gonna take them over the top. The funny thing is the Seahawks have hardly owned the division, and regardless still have absolutely NOTHING to show for it anyway. You sit there crying about refs. I don’t hear rams fans crying about being videotaped before their upset loss. I don’t hear cardinals fans crying they couldn’t seal the deal. Seattle fans have this sense of accomplishment and arrogance that is just dumbfounding. They have done nothing since Alexander left other than a losing record divisional title. A win count that the 49ers should easily be only 1 game shy of when they come out of their bye week against Cleveland. Three years of pretty good football, and you act like the damn team of the century.

Good thing for Billy and Spags that the Cards are in the WS. Otherwise STL would be out to “get their hides”. Lloyd does not address the number one problem, the O-line. Bradford’s ankle should require a lengthy recovery, at least until the O-line can protect him. Where does this move leave Mark Clayton? If I am Kroenke, I think this move looks like desperation on Billy’s part. After Miami, I think STL’s GM and coach are on the hottest seats.

“Kinda funny that Seattle has finally realized the 49ers will well exceed that 7-9 record Seattle managed last year so they have resorted to picking on the Rams.”

Kinda funny that this article has nothing to do with the 49ers, but does have something to do with the Rams and the receiver they just released. Hence the Seahawk fans’ comment about said team and player. But, way to bring up the 49ers like anybody cares. It’s like you’ve been waiting a decade to be relevant enough to finally be able to talk trash against those darn Seahawks who have owned you and your division for quite a while now. Now, nobody can get your mostly moronic fans to shut up. You haven’t won anything yet and even if you do win the west, it’s still not saying much. It’s like being the smartest retard. Congrats.

“Like TJ was such a monumental pickup for you guys last year huh? I sure remember a ton of Seattle fans predicting 11 to 12 wins last year also.”

I also remember just about everybody picking the 49ers to easily win that division. We all know how that turned out. And btw, TJ was a Raven last year. I know that was a long, long time ago so I don’t expect you 49er fans to remember.

Sad but true, sign him.
==================

I respectfully disagree. Some of the drops in week 4 were unreal. Hands of stone.

And he collects $3.7 Million for 11 catches. Nice work if you can get it.

When was he ever considered “one of the most promising young WRs in football”? He had one decent year.

facelessman –

Well you got to understand that not every player that gets drafted is going to be a great player. There will be some busts in the mix. For every Calvin Johnson, there’s a Charles Rogers. For every Larry Fitzgerald, there’s a Rashaun Woods. For every Reggie Wayne, there’s a David Terrell. For every Randy Moss, there’s a R. Jay Soward. And so on and so on… It happens. It’s what makes the Draft fun and the NFL so exciting.

MSW could never stay healthy with the Jags. Had one good season, but still a decent option. The Jags receiving Corp is so atoucious he might be a nice option to help Gabbert develop. Next year we will have a top 5 pick get a top-rated receiver and get rid of this rebuilding lingo we are so tired of hearing.

Yeah.. Sims-Walker isn’t that great of a receiver but I certainly think that he will be picked up reasonably soon. Teams like Houston, Minny, Cincy, Tennessee, Jacksonville (again), Denver, New England (if they cut Ochocinco), Miami, Chicago and Washington should all take a look at him.

My guess is that he’ll end up signing with Denver, Houston, Miami or Jacksonville. MSW can turn out to be a valuable third option but I can’t see him becoming a legit first or second option, especially with his extraordinary ability to drop passes.

Pffft, I cut MSW a few weeks back. Even if they didn’t trade for Lloyd, the Rams shouldn’t have waited this long. to cut this dude.
