Pull The Trigger Teddy

[Kyle.McCarroll]

It is exactly the kind of move Ted would not make.

I disagree. This is the kind of great NFL player TT would want and be willing to pay for.

I could see a 2nd easy.

I don't think so. TT give up his precious draft picks for a 32 year old?? I don't see that happening. Think of all the TE's he could get in the draft!

[cpk1994]

if you can name me a CB out there that is the equal talent of Gonzo... I'll say go for it but I don't think there is....


side note, we are NOT ok at TE... D. Lee is average at best and Sir Humpsalot is just... eh


anothe side note, would u like to be OK at a position or have a Witten type player like the cowboys do?... all I can get outta my head is 3rd and 6... FIRST DOWN JASON WITTEN!... movin the chains keeps ur D off t he field too...

As another poster said, and I agree with, I am fine with the TE we have. The secondary is the bigger issue right now. That should be the focus.

you trade for quality players that are available, not ones that are not.

You are putting words in my mouth. I never said they should trade for a CB. I said they should focus on what to do with the secondary instead of filling and spending money on a position that is adeqaute to begin with.

they cant do both? TT doesn't have enough free time right now? haha

[digitaldean]

Gonzo = STRETCHING THE FIELD

He's Keith Jackson , part deux.

I doubt TT would trade for him though.

Is he worth it? Of course!

[ahaha]

The DB situation is a separate matter, unless there is a capable veteren on one of those crappy teams, that is worth trading for. Maybe, but I don't see it. The only way we're getting a DB is through the scrap heap or off some team's practice squad.

Getting Gonzolez for a second would be f@#kin' tits! We'll probably get a third for Favre, so we can part with one measly second.
Just think about how explosive our offense could be with a TE who is worth a double-team?

It would be nice, but this is NEVER, EVER going to happen.

i actually think this is a move TT would make... Tony G. is a TT type guy... hes not a head case and he can open up the field... like a read up above, he can help the defense stay off the field by increasing our third down conversion % and could help the run game aswell... i don't necesarily think it will happen... but i'd be ok with giving up a 3rd or 4th rounder for him.. not sure about a 2nd though... and one other thing, at some point TT can't keep drafting 12 guys every year, hes gotta keep some of the ones hes already drafted around... letting go of a draft pick for some added vetran leadership isn't a bad idea...

[pbmax]

I'm not buying it. All this speculation after the guy said he wanted to stay.

Second, neither Witten nor Gonzalez are field stretchers like Keith Jackson was. They don't have the same speed. Both are good, and Witten is a better blocker than Jackson, but it wouldn't have the same impact as Jackson's signing.

Third, TE has not been a focus on McCarthy's offense. Even if the 32 year old figures out the offense, McCarthy isn't going to feed him like Holmgren or Sherman fed the TE. Gonzalez has been the best receiver on the Chiefs for years. Here he would be third. No way, even for a full season does he approach his catch totals from the Chiefs.

Fourth, McCarthy would have to want him bad. A vet like this will need attention from the passing game. He is not going to come here to block in the shotgun.

Last, didn't Thompson already pass up on Gonzalez the last time his contract came up? Or did he resign right away with the Chiefs?

you're right.. itd have a greater impact because Keith Jackson couldn't hold Witten or Gonzo's jock

Are you that young that you don't remember Keith Jackson? Keith Jackson was phenomenal. Think back to his days with the Eagles and Dolphins too. Jackson was a better deep threat than either of these two guys. Speed to burn and great hands. And while he was not enthusiastic, he wasn't all that bad a blocker.

[TravisWilliams23]

Here's a video of what Jackson did for Green Bay vs Dallas in
the 95 Championship game.

He had the size, speed and hands that you dream your tight end would have.

He wouldn't have to take a back seat to any of today's players.

[BZnDallas]

keith jackson was a baller of a tight end, there is no doubt about that... but having both him and chewy line up on the same line, its a no brainer that one of 'em would have been open...

i'm not here to compare keith to tony, but gonzalez can get the job done too... the man has hardly sniffed the playoffs... you don't think he'd accept being the #3 option in an offense that has a good chance of making the playoffs this year and in years to come as long has he'd want to play?... the only way i make the deal is if he says he wants to play multiple years, kinda like when they were thinking about bringing in jason taylor...

i'm just saying tony g is a good character guy and is an upgrade over what we have at the position right now... why argue with trying to get as many weapons for AR as they can?? i don't get it... just one mans opinion

That statemnt shows one of two things:

1. You a way to young to remember Jackson

or

2. You are just ignorant.

This is the harsh dose of reality for those wanting to get Gonzales. Also, everybody seems to assume that Gonzales now is as good as Gonzales 5 or so years ago. I wouldn't quite leap to that conclusion.

[gbgary]

if we were a tight-end away from the sb i'd say do it. since we're not...nevermind.
