I will pass on him I wasn't a big fan of his when he was at Ohio State but what do I know if he makes us better bring him in.

We got Mike Bell from a similar circumstance (bounced around a little, had some bad luck) and he was a really good player.

What? No Stafford in that list? He's a 5000 yard passer...

I said those were his QB's OTHER than his stint with the Lions AFTER pointing out that he was only with them for 6 games. Reading comprehension, anyone?

You have to wonder about the guy if he couldn't emerge as the #2 WR when his competition was an aging veteran, a talented youngster with huge personal issues on/off the field (Titus Young) and a rookie with injury problems. The opportunity was there.

I'm never against taking a look & if anyone can reveal a player's untapped potential, it would be the Saints ... but take a good, long look at this guy before committing, eh?

He just wore the wrong damn cleats!

Yeah, Bell bounced around. Wore the wrong cleats in the SB signed a big FA contract and bounced right out of the league!!
