Goodbye Antonio

In his honor I will post this fantastic picture:

I for one am unhappy. He may be a bad teammate, but he was our most talented receiver. Are we going after a WR in the draft? We'll see. From what I've read he had some contract language that gave him money for the number of games he started, and because of that, he'll only cost something like 1 million against the cap.

Completely agree

he has left a huge hole that free agency alone will not fill. Now we are going to be using draft picks on recievers when we should be concentrating on fixing the defense

Frank Gore for President.

fuck it

we obviously want a WR in the draft. I say trade up and get Calvin Johnson. Imagine him and Vernon wreaking havoc downfield. Who needs a defense?

Bring back the classic Uni's!

500 lbs/4.3 speed

One day we'll be fortunate enough to see a 500 pounder with 4.3 speed. It may not be in my lifetime, but I'm sure we'll see it. The juice is only gonna get better!

So long Bryant

Somebody, get Joe Horn's agent on the phone. Or call the Buffalo Bills. Looks like they're having a fire sale up there.

Hmmm

Am I the only one who thought that outside of two or three games Bryant was practically invisible as a playmaker, had no inside game to speak of, and was actually the third best reciever on the field anytime him, Battle, and Gore were all out there at the same time?

He played himself out of the contract, in my eyes. I just don't think he was very good last year, so I don't think the hole he's leaving is that gaping - just a little speed on deep routes, ultimately.

This is a bit of an extreme version of my real opinion, but I'm just making sure I get the point across, so take it with at least that grain of salt.

Still, I'm not all that sad to see him go.

I keep reliving the moment when Steve Young almost fell down... over and over...
