I am surprised about a couple things.
1st - Why didn't Blount get moved? He is on a one year deal, isn't a 7th rounder with a 1 percent chance of getting a player than can help your team better than the 0 percent chance they have when he walks after this year? Tampa has looked better lately but they are 3 - 4 and still have to play Atlanta twice, the Broncos, and at the Saints. It will take 10 wins to get into the playoffs this year in the NFC I don't see them going 7 - 2 down the stretch, so it isn't like they are saving him for the playoffs in case Martin gets hurt or hits the rookie wall.
2nd - The Packers, why didn't they go get a running back? Green has looked awful this year, and Benson is on the wrong side of 30 and coming back from a serious injury. Who is to say Benson comes back at all or even comes back at full strength? There were rumors of at least 4 running backs that were up for grabs, I can't believe that a team that has a legit shot to play for a Super Bowl can't afford to lose a 3rd - 7th round pick to take a flier on what seems to be a major hole.
3rd - The Lions, are you fooking serious. Another receiver, don't you draft one in round one or two every year? Oh Nate Burelson went down my fault I must have forgot, oh wait didn't Titus Young, Ryan Broyles, and Tony Scheffler just step up the last two games in his absence? I guess when you are that good at all the other positions on the field you can spend on a guy that will be your 7th option on offense. Oh wait another one of your corners got put on IR today, Talib wouldn't have helped you at all and you could have had him for the same 5th round pick you spent on Thomas.
4th - Bowe, this has so much fail in it I could write a novel about it. Do the Chiefs know they are 1 - 6? Do they know their quarterback is Brady Quinn? Do they know it would be stupid to franchise Bowe again? Can we get the guy that was in the commercial and painted their end zone as the Chefs to be general manager? He might have spelled the name wrong but at least it looked good. On the other side of this we have a few teams that are playoff contenders and needed a receiver in a bad way. Hello Minnesota, yes Percy Harvin is a beast, how nice would it be to have a running mate out there that could catch the ball, you are also in a tough division with teams that can score. Can we also add Houston to this party. How nice would Bowe look running around in a Texan uniform, well ask Arian Foster I bet he would love to see something other than an eight man front. I know I am going out on a limb here, but what if Andre Johnson gets hurt right about playoff time? You might as well put 9 guys in the box then because who is going to beat you with the receivers they have left?
5th - Jacksonville, are you guys that hard up for fans that you have to bring back Tebow? I am not the biggest Gabbert fan in the world, but why are you giving up on him so early. You gave him nothing but MJD as a weapon last year, and this year MJD goes down and Gabbert is actually showing signs of life. Unlike most of the teams that didn't make a trade for someone because they want to keep their 5th round picks, you actually have a reason to keep those picks, you need young and able bodies on that team, you need as many lotto tickets for the draft as possible, because you aren't even close to the playoffs.
