Vonta Leach? Seriously? Better than Jennings, Raji, and Collins?

Actually, this will go down as TT's worst move and PR nightmare. He never should have let VL go. I heard that middle of last season when Kory Hall got hurt and Quinn Johnson wasn't living up to standards that he in fact OFFERED Raji straight up for Leech, but got rejected.

Can he do that on command?

I'm not sure, but it doesn't hurt to place an order.

Skin could have an online business getting people to pay him to send horrific e-mails to the idiots that torment them.

I'm pretty sure his wife could sort out the legal issues and get his best stuff copyrighted. The words eat, syphilis and dog vomit are in the public domain but Skin might want to protect the intellectual property he creates when informs someone's ex-boss that he is an eater of syphilitic dog vomit.

It's also hard to imagine that Vonta Leach is ahead of guys like Flacco and Freeman too.

I think that Leach is as high as he is as a function of the methodology of the vote. Players only got to vote for 20 people, and a number of them felt obligated to vote for a fullback because otherwise the position would not be represented. So Leach probably got a bunch of votes at 20 just by default since he's the best fullback.

And how did Vonta Leach reach anyone's Top 20??

They felt obligated to include a fullback. It's the only reason I can imagine.

I was going to post exactly what you did. Same thing goes for the 3 positions that didn't make it. Most players might feel guilty about not including a "real" football player like a fullback in their top 20 but very few would include a kicker, punter, or longsnapper in the top 20 (as evidenced by none making it). I could have seen them include one of those positions in their top 50, however. The more this series goes on the more pathetic it is. The entire thing is just stupid.

[Tarlam!]

From the outset I said we need to wait and see the list develop by position. Well, you guys were right and I was wrong. As Chan says, pathetic, stupid. A lot like the Pro Bowl - imagine not including Rodgers! How pathetic is that?

Do you think we could trade Greg Jennings and BJ Raji straight up for Vonta Leach?

Leach is a free agent actually. Break the bank, we've got to bring him in. It's more important to sign Leach than extend Jennings, Collins, and Raji.

[RashanGary]

Bulaga probably wasn't anywhere near making the list. I wonder if we could get Leach for Bulaga straight up. If not Bulaga, maybe we if we sent Sitton it would seal the deal for Leach.

We have some good players who didn't make this list. I'm sure other teams do too.

Why are you trading for free agents? The path to acquiring Leach is clear: record contract.

Because trading for free agents is waaay funnier.

[RashanGary]

Hall for sure

Burnett? Jones? Colledge? Wells?

[RashanGary]

Most of our starting lineup is more valuable than Vonta Leach. I'm shocked he made the list. He's a hell of a FB, but he's a fuckin full back in a passing league.

TT doesn't sign FA....we have to trade for them.
