I don't even know why I'm argueing the case. I really don't care if we sign him or not. I was simply trying to point out that he's not as bad as some have mentioned and that ...

Although he is no longer #1 material (which I know), he's still better then Thrash and would bring more to the table as a WR then Thrash. Yes, Thrash does bring more to the table as a special teamer but not as a WR for which he was brought back to do. My only complaint was that we have a WR who's not being utilized do to production and instead using him on special teams only. In other words he's taking a roster spot in an area of need and they are not using him in the WR capacity (hardly). If we have other people on the roster that can do the special team part better ie; Horton, Thomas, then let Thrash go and pick up another Vet WR who can be used in case Kelly and Thomas don't break out this yr either.

I was not only picking on Thrash though either....I said let Rock go also. I for one can not figure out why the team would keep him. He's not that great at being a RB and never has been. He takes one step forward and two back. He dances around in the back field trying to avoid contact and get taken down all the time. Then once a game he breaks a 40-50 yarder. ooooh aaaaah. That's not impressive. That's mediocre. Portis is impressive. Portis slams the ball down field, runs N/S.

Someone brought up Betts. Betts atleast runs N/S. That's why he filled in admirably. But he's definitly not the same caliber as Portis either. If it came to Betts or Rock I'd let Rock go. Use Betts to KR/PR, he has done it in the past. Or get rid of both and groom two new guys for when Portis starts falling off.

I guess I'm just argueing the same old BS that comes up every yr in different threads. Trade Rock/Betts. Let Rock go. Let Betts go. and yet we keep Thrash who is not special other then the fact he is not bad on special teams, and others replaced him in those duties last yr. or rather beat him to the tackle.

Again I sound like it's a big issue but truly I don't care. Like him, hate him. It doesn't even have to be him. I would just like to see the team bring in a proven WR in case the two new guys don't step it up, which I'm worried about cause I have little faith in Hixon.
