Falcons re-sign Stecker (Merged) (1 Viewer)

No, but I have every right to boo him for signing with the Clowns and laugh at him for subsequently being cut. Just like I boo'd Bobby, Mort, Joe when they went over there. Just stay out of Atlanta!!! That's how much I hate them.....and the 49'ers.

i liked secker but this is how i feel too. just stay out of the Atl or frisco.

A player looking for a job can't usually pick and choose where to go. Unless you're a highly sought after free agent, you go where you're offered a job. There's only 32 teams, there's very few opportunities. I'll boo anybody in a falcons jersey, but there's no hate for Steck.

Bingo.


Hey, if you worked for a Ford dealer for a few years, and then got laid off, would any sense of loyalty stop you from going to work for a Chevy dealer if offered a job there?

Let's keep this in perspective. We are fans of a team. To the players, this is a business ....

I don't hate Stecker. I thought he was a team player and worked hard for us. He was a role player where as guys like Ricky Jackson, Bobby, and Mort were Saint legends when they left. It felt like I was stabbed in the heart when Ricky went to play with the 49'ers. But it was the timing of Stecker signing with ATL that I was most upset about.

Anyone who's criticizing Steck for signing with Atl should have criticized him when he signed with us b/c he came from TB and, by the same logic, was being disloyal to them. To do otherwise would be hypocritical.

Kudo's to Stecker! It's football. Hope he enjoys the money and wish him the best of luck no matter where he goes. I just wish they would hire me to pick my brain for a few weeks at 50,000 a week. Be nice people, I know I left myself wide open.

Well that really helped them out

Stecker is just trying to make a living. Best wishes to him.

Aaaaaaaand, he's back again.

In another sign that Atlanta running back Michael Turner is going to miss some time, the Falcons just announced the signing of running back Aaron Stecker.
