Orlando Pace to the bears

[Kuzzy Powers]

Haters gonna hate... ballers gonna ball. Orlando Pace is a baller. Keep hating..

Same reason a still very good Tra Thomas was only getting a few offers...he's old, and its not certain how much longer he has left in him, and he wanted a sizable deal (if $5M/yr is still sizable).

They still played well last year...but there are questions as to how much is really left.

I'd guess that barring injury, guys like Pace and Thomas will be above average tackles for the Bears and Jaguars at worst...when you are as talented as these guys, only injuries beyond recognition can keep them from being less then serviceable. Offensive linemen can last a long time in the league if the talent is there. Look at guys like Bruce Matthews and Kevin Mawae or even tackles like Wayne Gandy and Willie Anderson. You can still play even after your prime in the NFL as OL.

I know. The Chiefs got some awesome years out of Willie Roaf before he retired. I don't remember Roaf having injury problems like Pace has had recently, though.

I also agree with Hass' point about his stats last year being misleading.

Roaf only played in 7 games for New Orleans the year before KC got him.

I think Bob Whitfield is still floating around the NFL. Old bastard is still usable to somebody.

Maybe we can dig up Richmond Webb, John Fina, Big Cat Searcy, and Jeff Christy to take some meaningful snaps.

Roaf only played in 7 games for New Orleans the year before KC got him.

He missed a lot less time than Pace has recently and he was a year younger.

OH NOEZ! A WHOLE YEAR!! And about 10-15 more games. Yawn.
You said Pace was "done". He's obviously not. Just admit you were wrong and move on.

Pace i foresee still doing good I really didnt want the rams to cut him as he has been the most consistent linemen for about 10-11 years. Injurys happen of course but for the rams to release him b/c of salary issues made me dissapointed

Very good pick up for the bears

Pace missed 14 more games in the last 3 years than Roaf in his 3 years prior to going to KC. That's significant.

LOL at "just admit you were wrong". Because he stayed healthy while he signed his contract? I'll admit being wrong when we see what happens next year.

 

[FirstTimer]

You said he was "done". Last season and his production clearly shows he is not. You were wrong.

I said he IS done...now...present tense. I didn't say he was done last year. We have to see if he stays healthy and plays well in the upcoming season before anyone can be wrong.

I said he IS done...now...present tense. I didn't say he was done last year. We have to see if he stays healthy and plays well in in the upcoming season before anyone can be wrong.

Uh....so would it make sense to say Kurt Warner IS done, too?

 

[Blick]

Uh....so would it make sense to say Kurt Warner IS done, too?

I wouldn't agree with that, no. I'm just making a prediction about Pace. I could be wrong. I might not be. We won't find out until next year.

You never said you predicted he is done. You simple said "Pace is done" as if it's a fact. No need to see anything more. You had all the info you needed.

You then get info about him only allowing two sacks last year and committing two penalties and NOW it's a prediction?


You must go to school with Killa Pand and sleep through your logic class together.

So is LT, so is anyone.

Blick's statement is retarded because you could make that statement about anyone in the entire NFL and wait and see what happens to see if you are right or not.

It makes no sense and is a pointless statement as a prediction. The only way it makes sense is as a statement of fact or "knowing"

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Blick has been known to make a retarded statement or two in his time..

I posted at 4:50 in the morning and I was drunk. Let's not argue about semantics.

I meant it as a prediction. I don't think he will be that good of an addition. Only time will tell if anybody is wrong.
