Re: FA Possibilities Thread
And he had 80 carries in a backup role. I like Turner, but lets not twist stats to prove a point.
Michael Turner only needed 80 carries to get 502 yards.
Jamal had 3 carries of 20+ yards
Turner had 7 carries of 20+ yards
Jamals longest carry was 52 yards
Michaels longest carry was 73
Jamal had 234 more carries. Don't you think thats more then enough carries to get more then 3 20+ yard runs?

Re: FA Possibilities Thread
I think Michael Turner would be a nice fit here. I would give up a draft pick for him...not a 1st rounder, but I think they should look at this guy. He could come in and be the starter from day 1.

Re: FA Possibilities Thread
FM, I don't think we'd get a choice. I believe he is an RFA so we would (depending on how SD treats him, but 99% certainly) be required by league rules to give up at least a 1st rounder.
Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: FA Possibilities Thread
Thanks Festivus. If the choice at TB is what we have or giving up a 1st round pick for Turner...I give up the pick.
Look at it this way: We have a very late 1st round pick anyway. It is not likley that pick would come in and make a big impact from game 1 next year. Turner, on the other hand, I think could and would be a difference maker right away.

Re: FA Possibilities Thread
I think we will see Turner in Giants blue next year. I also think that Jamal will be gone and that the Ravens will promote MA and draft a rookie RB to fill the empty slot.

Re: FA Possibilities Thread
The only thing that could save Musa is that when he is healthy, he has flashed very good potential. I would bring back Musa to compete with PJ Daniels for the 3rd string RB. No one is going to sign Musa for better than that.
I would not give up a first rounder for Michael Turner, and I doubt Ozzie would. Ozzie hated the experience of not having a first rounder in 2004, so I doubt he will go that route again.
For some reason, I get the feeling that MA could be a cap casualty as he did not get used much here. I also think the team will restructure Jamal and draft a young back in the first or second round. A Michael Bush/Jamal combo or a Kenny Irons/Jamal combo would be awesome.It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: FA Possibilities Thread
Jamal has GOT to go...period. If he is not the feature back he whines and he is simply not good enough to be the #1 TB anymore....what else do you need to see?
Jamal, not the O-Line is not the biggest weakness on the offense. We need a back like Willie Parker, Thomas Jones, L. Maroney...Michael Turner.
Nobody in the league has a big, slow back like Jamal as their #1 anymore.
