    So when someone proves you wrong, your response is based on looking in your crystal ball?

    We have a great season and you go berserk. I don't wanna know what kind of threads you're going to start if we are champions.

    You also called Ronnie Brown a bust.

    We don't have Michael Turner, Atlanta does.

    I was talking about my post on your ridiculous Lendale arguments, which you continue to ignore, I'm pretty sure because you know you can't win that argument.

    It's your whole presence yesterday that shows the bitterness. Starting a "gripes" thread, complaining on other threads, and at the same time pulling up an old thread to show everyone how right you are? Reeks of desperation. Wtf went wrong in your life yesterday?

    Heaven forbid someone stray from the herd of homers and ANALYZE things. Yes, it's much more interesting to be the "RAH! RAH! Go TEAM GO!" types. It's fun to ghave a thread that contrasts with the cliche threads that get 3 replies because no one really cares to read the same views from the same person under a different username. Enter me. Watch the thread go 4+ pages every time... I probably create more money for this site than 30 of your types put together. So enjoy it, and click some ads while you're in here.
    And what Lendale argument are you making? Let me guess...you're trying to say he's good, too? lol

    Ronnie Brown I did miss on. Good call. So one in every 10 or so. Either way, I'm better at it than most GMs in the league. Especially our own.

    I'm not at all surprised at Turner's success in ATL. There's a reason he was the most sought-after RB on the market last year....and we're seeing it. It didn't take a genius to see that Michael Turner is one hell of a ball player.

    That said.....any GM can go out and sign a ton of high-profile free agents, if they're willing to spend the cash. That doesn't require talent....that just takes money. Lots and lots of money.

    The real talent lies in the ability to find those unknown or unheralded players who are a good fit for the team's philosphy, and can have a big impact on the field without having a big impact on the salary cap.

    I'm talking about guys like Dave Ball...Chris Carr....Jacob Ford...Kevin Vickerson...Eric King. These guys were nobodies. Any GM in the league could have snatched them up for league minimum or a late-round pick.....but they didn't.

    Reinfeldt saw the value in these guys, picked them up at a very reasonable price....and now their performance is a big part of why the Titans are at the top of the mountain. Instead of focusing on big-ticket players, Reinfeldt chose to fill in the foundation, resulting in a significant improvement in the team's overall depth.

    Lots of people talk about building from the inside out....but very few GM's know how to actually make it happen.

    Personally, I think Mike Reinfeldt has done one hell of a job. Sure, he's had a few misses along the way...but the team is currently a perfect 10-0, and is widely recognized as one of the truly elite teams in the NFL. And Mike Reinfeldt has had a major hand in making that happen.

    There's lots of good running backs in the league, some we had a chance to get some we didn't, it happens. I don't blame the GM that we don't have pro bowlers at every position.

    I guess I'm in the 1% who didn't want him. He's overpayed, often injured and overrated.

    Please. Keep sniping. It's easier than actually explaining yourself.
