Quit being such a tight ass then, I mean you want to waste money on DD when you can replace his production for 1/10 the cost. Of course spending our money is different then spending your own.

Well, the $100 shoes literally last 5 times longer (let me re-emphasize literally) and are easier on my knees.

Morale of the story? Sometimes, you have to spend the money.

Donald Driver in 2011 is either the 2nd or 3rd best WR on the team. It's up to James Jones to take the #2 spot from him. Driver is faster than Jordy Nelson still and only Gregorious runs better routes than my man Donald Driver.

You don't cut your #2 or #3 WR just to save money. We're not the New York Yankees, but we're not on food stamps either.

Dakota,
I am not being a tight ass. I am willing to spend the money for a quality player. You are the tight ass trying to tuck away a few bucks for nothing.

My statement has always been IF Ted and Mike want him there must be some kind of a reason for besides the fact that he has been on the team for a few years.

West and the others have some good qualities. Youth mainly which means most likely sitting on the bench all year long. Driver will play and he will contribute. He will do more to help them return to Indy than West and the others.

Taylor makes it Crabtree doesn't.

It would not surprise me if a few of the PS players get signed to contracts by other teams forcing GB to pick up a few players who were cut by other teams. Saine, West, K. Taylor all gone.

And cutting West or Gurley so the millionaire can play another season for pride's sake is wise? I always respected Robert Smith of the Vikings for walking away while he could still walk.

Pretty simple: why are West/Gurley better options than Driver?
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Gurley also has the ability to go up top like Plaxico Burris or Jermicheal Finley and pick the ball out of the air uncontested by a shorter CB. He also seems to have a potential knack for blocking punts.
Also the ability to return punts. (And kickoffs, of course.)

You list several legit reasons for keeping Gurley over Driver, although I still strongly disagree that it would be wise to do that. I'm not sure where you're getting the thing about returning punts and kickoffs, though. I haven't seen or heard of Gurley doing that, and he seems to have the wrong body type for it.

Well, as for returning punts, I meant both West and Gurley. Gurley could at least fill in on KOs. DD's way too brittle for that duty.
