Scaife to Test FA

I'm a big Scaife fan, i thought hes come along way since his 1st year here. I'd be seriously disappointed if he went to another team espically if we dont have a plan B. Crumpler IMO was an awful sigining, i was expecting big things from him and he just didnt do it for me. If hes testing the market,then hes not coming back next year its simple. Definitely would like to see him a Titan next year though...

 

When were we ever close to trading for Gonzalez? Not being a *****, just asking. I never heard that, ever.

I'd love to have him.

 

Did you just out the Mrs. Mr.?

Or of course I've never been in the loop so I'm prolly just the slow redneck that finally figured it out.

 

Maybe its me then, but when the Titans signed Alge i was expectin the Alge from Atlanta,he was far from it. I'm not saying i was expecting 1000 yards from him(would of been nice) but i just thought he was going to have a big year considering the Titans have always relied on TE's for alot of their success espically in the redzone. Its my fault for setting my expecation level of him so high

 

Scaife will test the market

Hartsock is more of a blocking tight end.

I look at Scaife and say no way is he a product of our system. The Titans got to be kidding. The dude played football at Texas. He had talent going in, and he has talent going out. He played well for Young and Collins. He played well under two coordinators. He played well in an offense where nobody catches the ball and where nobody can throw it either. So if the Titans let him go, so be it, we need a wr, but Scaife in my opinion deserves the money.

 

I like Scaife, but I hate to say he is expendable. He reminds me a lot of a healthy LJ smith. He is a Good TE. Not Geat, but good. Maybe I am just greedy and want the Great TE....!
