Don't care anymore. It is done and over with. Just like the past 27 seasons. :popcorn: Time to move on. Look forward not back.

There are a lot of good things happening right now. So get pumped up about that.
We have a defense that will get better.
The OL is improving.
We get Gallup back, as the WR group looks not to be as dismal as many said it would be.
Cooper has proven himself so far, and Dak will be just fine when he returns. More :popcorn: for you there.
Moore may have figured out a balance with using Zeke and Tony, but just needs to stick with the run.

In spite of Jerry, things are looking up, let's see if it continues.

Jerry lying through his teeth (literally offered the guy a contract) & still taking all the credit for personnel decisions. Some things never change.


First...it is an inaccurate quote. He didn't say he had 3 guys better..he said he got 3 for 1


He is also referring to the well documented "El Paso" where they apparently had a chance to still get him after the diss.

Pure shade….Jerry really hates that guy now

Randy does have 2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles already so I wish we had him. Well worth the money so far.

Dorance Armstrong is cheaper against the cap.
3 sacks, 3 tackles for losses, 4 QB hits, blocked FG. Probably half the snaps.
Well worth the money so far also.

Then we have Fowler and Williams, all 3 for less the cost as well.

I agree, it worked out. Buy accident more than intention, like many other things this FO does.

Yes…Armstrong made Randy expendable. DA is better against the run but will probably end the season with fewer sacks. As long as Tank gets double digits this year that should be ok.

As they all work together, it gives DC's some other things to game plan for. Not saying they will game plan for Armstrong, like they must do for Micah or DLaw.
But it opens up things for others.
We could see a different player emerge in different games that is the defensive star for the week.

Was it not possible for that convo to take place after he turned it down and wanted more. There was a period when Jerry had to step in buy could've seen if it was doable without

Thank goodness for effective play and coaching generating quarterback pressure thus far. If the reverse were true, Jones would have thrown Quinn under the bus after getting questioned for the lack of pass rush.

When he was here, I was all for giving Randy Gregory second and fifth and eighth chances.
But what really irritated me, causing me to jump off the bandwagon was his STUPID penalty in the Niners playoff game last year.
Control your temper, and we have enough time to score and likely win the game.
But this idiot is battling with the offensive lineman after the whistle and throws him to the ground, giving San Fran a first down.
Who said it, "You can't win with stupid players."
This makes me as upset as I was with Dee Ford, who formerly played for the Chiefs.
All you have to do is stay on-sides, wait until the ball is snapped like every kid in Pee Wee football learns, and the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl.
Noooo. He jumps off sides, Pats get another shot on 4th down. Brady converts. Pats win. Go on to defeat the Rams in the Super Bowl.
And you saw the Chiefs cut Ford the very next season.
Randy Gregory will do something to cost the Broncos.
Just watch.
Some things are unfixable.

With all due respect I feel this is a non-issue now. The Cowboys might have lucked out not paying Gregory since their pass rush is elite even without him. As for the Jerry-speak, this is nothing new. He will spin anything after the fact so long as it makes him look smart in the end.

By accident? Fowler has been a good player in this league. That was a good signing. Williams has the tools to be a very good player for us. Maybe the staff knew that Armstrong was ready to break out. Sometimes it take some time for the light to come on. I'd hardly call it an accident that we have three players that are contributing more than Gregory at a fraction of the cost.

Gregory was taking stupid selfish penalties the entire time he was here. Add to that the severe lack of tackles in run support and the lack of consistent pass rush and he is a classic addition by subtraction guy. You can't help but become a better football team by getting rid of turds like him.
