Babe's 3things Jerry did wry g to get us to where we are

[Cythim]

I like Babe alot, but shit that happened in 2000 and 2001 doesnt have any real bearing on where we are today, 11-12 years later.

We could have drafted Brees in 2001 instead of Carter, and that would have a huge impact on the team's direction over the last decade. Parcells would have actually been successful here with a quality QB he could trust.

 

[Theebs]

Kyle Wilson sucked with the Jets this year.

Better than Newman? Sure. But still sucked.

If they dumped him march 1st I would take him in a heartbeat.

if new england dumped mccourty march 1st I would take him in a heartbeat also.

corners are up and down, we see that with jenkins.

I would be happy right now with wilson, mccourty or robinson. It would keep us out of free agency and from overdrafting someone at 14 because of need.

 

[superpunk]

no one said we would have, it was just that we could have.

at the least it would have kept us from trading up to get bryant.

and with our own pick we could have taken kyle wilison, patrick robinson, nate allen or dexter mcluster...players we had interest in.

would be nice to just plug in kyle wilson for newman at ota's this year.

 

[Theebs]

I think you are misunderstanding. I am not saying that because I am not a fan of the guy, I am saying that because cincy picked ahead of new england and we would have had there 1.

so we could have used it on bryant and our own on whatever...I remember we liked robinson, allen and mccluster that year alot. I think we were big on jarid odrick also.

 

[superpunk]

I would rather have Dez than any of those players. He's made a far bigger impact in his first two years than all of them combined.

again.

the point was you could have had both. Cincy picked ahead of new england.

I'm glad we didnt take any of those guys.

If we didnt have Bennett, we probably would have drafted someone else in between then and last year anyway.

Supposedly so, and another one I'm glad we didnt get.

Like SP said, Bryant is far better than any of these guys you listed.

 

[Theebs]

right, but this was the first round of the next draft after we would have traded him. this would have been our first chance.

cincy used the pick on te jermaine gresham.

if we had interest in him we could have taken him also.

and again. you guys are confusing the situation. if cincy gave us there 1 for bennett, we could still have dez....and another player from round 1....without having to trade up because cincy picked before new england.

 

[Theebs]

Supposedly so, and another one I'm glad we didnt get.

Like SP said, Bryant is far better than any of these guys you listed.

and umm....the point is we would have had TWO NUMBER 1's and STILL WOULD HAVE DEZ, PLUS ANOTHER FIRST ROUNDER.

 

[superpunk]

DAMNIT THEEBS I'D RATHER HAVE BRYANT I DON'T CARE HOW HE WEARS HIS PANTS

 

[Theebs]

DAMNIT THEEBS I'D RATHER HAVE BRYANT I DON'T CARE HOW HE WEARS HIS PANTS

I give up.

for the last time.

cincy picked at 21
new england picked at 24
Dallas picked at 27

if cincy traded 21 to us for bennett, we could have simply used that on bryant. Never having to trade up.
then at 27 we could have taken one of the other players we liked, mccluster, odrick, robinson etc...

holy cow with this.

so you're saying we wouldn't have drafted Bryant???

 

[Theebs]

exactly.

 

[Sheik]

I just can't believe a team would offer a 1 for Bennett. Or that we would've turned that down.

Maybe I just don't want to believe it?

:confused

Pretty simple.

Cincy GM: Fuck me out of a 1st rnd draft pick.

Jerry: is this a trick?

Cincy GM: omg, SKITTLES!!!!!!! ~hangs up phone~

 

[cmd34]

The Bengals did go out and draft Jermaine Gresham in the first round of the next draft..so there may be something to the "story".

I'm not confused, I just dont believe the report

I have no problem with people being critical of stuff,
