I was just trying to irritate you. I am now onboard with Chastin mania.

West has talent. That much is obvious. Does is translate into success in the NFL? Who knows. I wish we had room to roster him, but unless someone does down hard the next couple games I don't see it happening.www.ccso228@twitter.comComment

My point of contention isn't that West has looked good, has an outside chance at sticking on our roster, and/or should stick with another team. I'm just not ready to get rid of Driver or Jones to make room for this guy. There are some reporters who have said Gurley and/or Borel have looked equally as good as West, and have more potential. I'm happy for a guy like West. He's been in the system, and has worked his way up. He's follow the path of Tramon and others. It would be nice to see him do well. If the coaches feel like he's earned a spot, then great. I'm just not ready to get rid of Driver or Jones for an unknown--unless I see more from him."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Gotcha. I'd agree with that, except that I think West is more athletic and has a higher ceiling than Gurley. Borel has potential, but he's way more raw at this point than West. I think Borel is a really good practice squad candidate. I also think Jones is decent, but eminently replaceable, though I'm by no means advocating replacing him for West right now.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostLast edited by vince; 08-22-2011, 09:14 AM.Comment

They said that about Gurley because he is tall, at least from what I read. I'm not buying into Gurley, too lumbering. Borel looks like an athlete, but not even close to roster ready.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View Post
Ever since I jumped on the Chastin West bandwagon, this has all become much clearer.Comment

Indeed. Did you see how West is being transported to practice? No little tike bikes for him!

Agreed. Borel is another converted qb with speed and skills. Keep on the practice squad along with Gurley.Originally posted by vince View Post
In hindsight the JJ resigning is preventing another potentially good player making the roster.
JJ better stop the dropping tds.Comment

imo opinion they are generating some buzz to trade the guy for a pick. There. is. no. room.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

He was returning punts today. There could be room if he can contribute on special teams.Originally posted by swede View PostI can't run no more with that lawless crowd

Chastin West has a better chance at making this team then Crabtree does IMO. I can see us keeping 6 WRs and 4 TEs. I mean we are a heavy passing team and if he can prove to be reliable return man I think its a lock that he makes it.
