Would've preferred Dorsey, but I'm cool with Gordon.

Sucks to see Perry cut.

I was just reading an article that brought up something that intrigued me a bit.

All of our backs besides Gordon, are 5'10" or less, and under 210lbs. Gordon is 6'1" and 223. I'd like to see them standing around during practice in a group, and see how much of a disparity it is.

Ditto.  Since we didn't have to give up picks or anything for him, it's no big deal.  Hopefully he'll catch on quick so he can start producing.

I would too in the sense of his pass blocking.  Levens knows the system so he can step in week 1 and we don't have to worry about him.  With Gordon, there's a lot of learning he's gonna have to do... and I hope that his blocking assignments don't slip through the cracks.

As far as toting the rock though, I'm happy with Gordon over Levens just in the fact that we just don't know how long Dorsey can keep getting it done.  I like that Gordon at least got it done spelling Faulk in St. Louis so at 25... there's a lot more long-term potential there.

Would people here still prefer Levens over Gordon?

I would.   But Gordon is better than Perry so it doesnt bother me much.   Mahe still sneaking in there though... the powers of Mormon.

I really hope no one grabs Perry and he ends up back on the PS. He's a good guy to have in case of an emergency and was really hoping he'd make the team.  :(

It's either him or Andy Hall (or some other QB).

A good sign for Perry is that we have to wait 24 hours for him to clear waivers; maybe that's why we only filled 7 of 8 spots.
More Mahe please.

Hall is done here. He's shown zero progress and Perry has shown he deserves a spot.

But they do not have a QB on the PS. They usually keep one there.

I could be wrong, I just don't see him coming back. He has no upside. He sucks.

Doesn't have to be Andy Hall they bring back..just a QB in general. I was hoping for Josh Harris or Matt Mauck.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
