falcon057 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Speaking of compelling arguments and veteran receivers, John Manasso makes a pretty strong case that the Falcons should sign Hines Ward if, as is expected, he is released by the Pittsburgh Steelers. My first reaction was that the Falcons really don’t need to add a receiver who is about to turn 36. But Manasso points to Ward’s strong roots to the Atlanta area, his reputation as a locker-room leader and his experience as a winner. It’s tough to argue that the Falcons couldn’t use a few more players who have experience winning in the postseason.Humm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 If Douglass walks and he would do a reasonable short term contract to come home and retire a Falcon, I would be all for it .......

He lives in Smyrna. He would teach these young guys a lot. And he could fit the tough guy across the middle role. Team player and has been there!

VaderMan Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Are you kidding me? Sing OLD MAN WARD...for what? I would rather over pay HD, than get OLD MAN at a discount. I would rather let HD walk and promote Kevin Cone vs. signing Ward. Lets look forward people, not set the team back with ridiculous ideas of that nature.....OLD MAN Ward...really?

Knight of God Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 So let me get this straight. You want to trade our 30yr old RB and pick up an aged WR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightsaidfred Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hines Ward has just announced publicly that he wants to retire as a PIT STEELER.True. So: If PIT doesn't restructure his contract and lets him walk, then the Q is: does Hines retire (as a Steeler) or play somewhere else? If he plays, his is a UGA man, he might want to help out here. But I really don't see it happening................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon057 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 So let me get this straight. You want to trade our 30yr old RB and pick up an aged WR...LOL ok this wr will cost about 1.5 to 2 mil. he has no trade value and doesn't require a 4 mill FB to help him. I know its tough but we have all young rec. and possiably no slot. Just window shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF89 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 To answer the original question though I'd take Ward in a heartbeat over Moss. No way I want Moss anywhere near this team we already have one reciver who can't keep his mouth shut on I don't want another that's past his prime.(And yes I know Ward likes to flap his gums a litttle too but at least its on the feild drama and not this twitter crap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caver50 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Give me a break.....I watched a replay of a Pittsburg game where Hines Ward blindsided a player just standing there next to the sideline. He was hurt bad and Ward walks off with a big smile on his face. Apparently he thought it was quite funny, but I didn't. Since I didn't see the game, I don't know it was that took the hit, but I'am shure that there other posters on that are aware of it. Perhaps you saw it and thought it was ok.

Falkonator Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 No to both, they both old, moss.is a.cancer.and ward can't.get seperation, Ppl sayin ward is a cheap,shot. This is football he is a physical receiver. Stop crying bouth him roughing players up. You don't like.it watch flag football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Mays Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 If ward had moss skill then yes but no to both of them. Ward just flat out suck now and Moss with Rowdy is a media circus we should bring in TO and the player formerly known as Chad Johnson= and formerly have the skills of Chad Johnson.

Falkonator Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Are you talking bout the gm vs the bengals when he blocked Keith Rivers, players get laid out all yhe time, I've seen way more cheap shots taken than that hit. Punters get cheap shores all the time, its a physical contact sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punters get cheap shores all the time, its a physical contact sport.That player was just standing there looking the other way when ward hit him in the back running full speed. A lesser man could have got his back or neck broke, but to top it off, Ward walks away with a big smile on his face. Didn't even check to see if the dude was ok. Look man, I like a physical game as much as the next man, but I don't think that that dude was a part of the play. I wouldn't want to see a guy serriously hurt, and most football players wouldn't want it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRyanProvesYouWrong Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) No way, cheap shot artist.Who the **** cares if he blindsides? Anyone who's played football has hit the **** out of someone illegally, or at least a blindside.It wouldn't kill us if we got a receiver that can block and make/take hits.That player was just standing there looking the other way when ward hit him in the back running full speed.

Never stand still, you're a still target. Edited February 14, 2012 by MattRyanProvesYouWrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
