Xfactor Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Since Shanahan took over the perception around the league this is where #2 WR's come to die. I'm sure most if not all FA WR's heard and read Roddy's comments about Shanahan. Until Matt steps up or Shanahan decides to include the #2 in the offense it's going to be tough to get a top tier WR here in Atlanta. I'm sure if we had landed one of the defensive players Quinn pursued we wouldn't be having this conversation but he didn't and we have an image problem. The hot coach last year that Irvin swooned over publicly chose the Raiders let that sink in for a moment. This year Quinn is just a HC and the honeymoon is over. Now we have to win if you want big names. At least we're still better than the Browns welcome to ATL Mr. Mack. Sanu is a true #2 WR and is willing to come into a very sketchy situation so he wants to get paid. Most of you would love to have Marvin Jones for 8 million but balk on Sanu getting 6-7 million. I watch ALOT of Cincy games and this is what I see both Jones and Sanu are 6'2 but Sanu plays bigger and more physical. Jones is faster but plays smaller and is more of a TY Hilton type. We already have Hardy and if Shanahan will utilize Sanu correctly he could put up some nice numbers for us and become a factor in the offense. The kid is 26 years old and could fit nicely here in ATL if Kyle will open his **** eyes and playbook. Back to Jones at 8 million 43 games 134 receptions 1729 yards 12.9 avg 15 TD's last year he played in 16 games and scored 4 repeat 4 as the true #2 WR Sanu at 6-7 million 57 games 152 receptions 1793 yards 11.8 avg 11 TD's pretty **** close to me. Cincy has a great TE with Eifert who had a great year and Green is their Julio. We don't have Eifert so Sanu could have a higher upside in our system. Jones, Sanu, Hardy I like it.

OBXFalcon Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Personally I would prefer Jermaine Kearse over either of them. Think he would cost less also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino11 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Not a fan of signing Sanu. Hope he proves me wrong if he does. Wasn't that impressive when I watched em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird3 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 And Marvin and 2 backs. I don't think people realized it went julio then tame and free ad far as receiving numbers? Give him a true #2 position with a team with less options and he will earn that money. I didn't hear many folks intersted in coming..

I give lengthy responses Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 He isn't very good. I would rather us draft a guy in the second or third round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sarcomere Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Jermaine Kearse or Rishard Matthews any day over Sanu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOR Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Can people make one point about Shanahan without making something up? I mean for crying out loud. Every negative post with his name in it contains some wild accusation with zero factual evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his crappy reputation is incredibly overblown. I was listening to Pete Prisco this morning and good lord, he sounded just like the people on TATF. Apparently the older writers hate him. Id say its because of his dad. Surprisingly enough, these writers are the people that created his crappy reputation...FTR he said the young reporters love him, which is why I think the old writers just wanna burry him to get back and ol man mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
