Jason Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Why? If you think he can't play, that's fine. But if you don't want him because he played for the Stealers, that's just stupid. He was drafted by them, so that was not his choice. But now that he is a FA, if he comes here it's because he [b]WANTS[/b] to be here. I don't care about a player's past. Once he is a Bengal, his past is forgotten. (With the possible exception of Kimo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ravonaf Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Because as a person he's a peice of shit. We have enough problems with players with attitude problems on this team. We need team unity not team divisiveness. It has nothing to do with him being from shitsburg. We want players that will bring the team together. Not rip them apart.

Guest Patmo Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I wouldn't want him if we knew that we could get Willis in rd 1. I just don't like older guys with a big rep in F/A.I'll take the younger guys with their careers ahead of them for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsdave985 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I want players who can get us to the damn super bowl.

A person who doesn't respect others and who is hated in the locker room will hold you back. Rip your oppenents before the game and during the game.

Ben Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 What they are saying in Pitt,(stolen from lances blog) Porter had to go pissburgh Tribune Review You can't blame the stealers for giving Joey Porter the boot. It was the only sensible move. Let's be honest. Porter is past his prime, and there's no way the stealers were going to extend his contract beyond this season. He turns 30 on March 22 and has missed significant parts of the past two training camps because of surgeries on both knees. *********** What they are saying about Porter pissburgh Post Gazette Strictly talking business, it makes perfect sense for the stealers to get rid of Joey Porter. His performance slipped badly last season. The team has every right to believe that Porter, soon to be 30, with a game based on speed and quickness, no longer can get the job done at a high level, certainly not at a level worth $5 million. Once it reached that decision, it had to let him go. But that doesn't mean Porter doesn't deserve a proper send-off. He should be remembered as one of the stealers' all-time great players...

The whole coaching fiasco, in which they lose all their top assistants, and bring in low-rent guys, and the papers still sing their praises saying "it was the right move, the other guys had to go" should be an indication of their shilling nature.

It would piss off a lot of Bengal players. Bobby said that DURING the game. Not after. You will say anything to get your team fired up. It serves no purpose after the game other than to start shit.

I would rest assured that if his play has really slipped, our coaching staff would be familiar enough with him to see it. But regardless of those things, he may be an aggressive and charismatic player for a Defense...But I would prefer the mold of David Pollack to add those things to our D, and not an idiot like Porter - who adds them at a cost.

SlantNGo Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Porter is useless once anyone, even a tight end, lays a hand on him. The stealers scheme was intended to confuse the O-line and mess up blocking assignments so Porter was able to use his athleticism to get to the QB. He sucks against the run and gets swallowed up when he has to win a 1-on-1 battle in the pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ravonaf Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 If he were to publicly apologize to Bengal fans/players and we got him at a very good price I would feel better about signing him. I seriously doubt either would happen. We could let him compete for the job and always cut him if he sucks too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBengal Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The fact is Porter is a classic 3-4 linebacker, and at last check, the Bengals are sticking with a 4-3. Plus the guy is on the decline. I [i]would[/i] be interested if we ran the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yojimbo Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I dont like Joey Porter. But thats only because I have had to watch him run his mouth and make plays against us. We have been clamoring for a defense with attitude. Porter has attitude of almost Chad-like proportions. Depends on the price tag, if it were up to me. But who are we kidding? We arent signing anyone like Porter. Never have. Never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
