Thinking Skins Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Before you start puttin that little yellow fluid in my gas tank, I want to let you know that I'm not posting any news of any kind. Get that: This is not a prank (did i spell that right) or anything. With June 1st coming along and all, I'm wondering how he's doing over in Tampa if thats still where he is. I figure he might be released tomorrow so why not invite him. This is a guy that I've wanted since the season ended, and I figure the other team interested in him is Dallas who could start some of the kids I tutor over at the local elementary school and be in a better position than they are now. I think that he could do some damaga in dallas and I really dont want to see that. He could help us out as far as a backup QB and I think that definately works. Who do we get rid of? I say nobody, just invite him to camp. if he outdoes Wurfell and Sage, then we're better off....if not then we just cut our ties to him. But by inviting him, we slow other teams from getting him and strengthen our QB class. Two definite positives as I'm afraid that he'll be a thorn in our side this year.

joe Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 The last I heard, Gruden is very impressed with King. I don't look for him to be cut. It is possible that Brad Johnson might be the odd man out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboykilla Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 While we're on the topic of QB releases, why not invite Batch to camp? Maybe he'll command too much $, but if he's out there for cheap....its tempting. He's a good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgo-13 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Please!!! No Charlie Batch! I ripped on him too much when he was in silver and blue to my Lion's fan wife. She would have a field day with it if Batch showed up in Burgandy and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Joe Hamilton tore his ACL in Euroleague, so King will stay as the 3rd stringer in Tampa. And I have said this before, I will burn all of my Skins gear and stop watching,rooting for, following,readingabout,or even thinking about the team if they sign that worthless piece of crap Batch.

Riggo-toni Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 My Bold Prediction: :fortune: We ain't signing any more QBs, period. In fact, I still believe SS will keep all 4, despite all his statements to the contrary. And I actually think Matthews will be better than King or Batch. I think we have our standards way too low after suffering through a year of Banks.:puke: :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I didn't watch a lot of Lions' games, but I suspect Batch was far better than anything we had a QB last year. I'd feel better with Batch than Wuerrfel until I see otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I have to disagee. Batch is a much worse option than Wuerful in Spurriers system. He has no touch, no leadership skills, makes bad decisions, and lost his job to a guy named Mike McMahon!!! If that doesnt speak volumes.....

NavyDave Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Batch sux So I saypass. Garbage from a 2-14 team wont turn to platinum because it relocates to DC. Why waste money on a QB when we used a first rounder have a youngster in Sage and two guys who have played in his system? Shouldnt we instead look into getting two DTs and maybe a Left Guard if the kids on the roster right now can't do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Could'a, Would'a, Should'a Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I doubt very much that the Bucs will release Sean King, he was a 3rd rounder (i think) and is not on a high contract at all, if any of the 4 QBs they have are to be released then i gather it will be Brad 'noodle arm' Johnson, who the fans dont appreciate too much. As for Charlie Batch i personaly wouldnt bother as we already signed Matthews whos more than an adequate 2nd stringer when Ramsey replaces him in the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I have to agree with ND; let's tend to other matters before worrying about bringing in any more experiments at QB. Ramsey's the future for the franchise (with Sage as an outside longshot), and anybody else will just be a caretaker for this season anyway. I'm getting tired of playing plug and patch with our quarterbacks. If Spurrier can't work miracles with Matthews and Wuerffel, and we have to suffer for a season of mediocrity at QB while Ramsey learns, so be it. It can't be any worse than what we've had lately.
