Look at ya'll pretending you wasn't up in arms and beside yourselves about losing him just a few months ago.....
Pretty sure they wasn't.Pretty sure the majority was ok with him moving on.
Pretty sure they wasn't.
I remember being bumfuzzled at how many people thought he was some kind of elite talent that we were letting get away.
I wish there was a poll done about that at the time so we could have receipts.
I'm sure it had something to do with bagging on Jerry, but it also had to do with people literally thinking Gregory was just an All-Pro waiting to happen but was being held back because of a dumb rule that kept getting him suspended.You are more than welcome to go back through all the posts and threads.
Maybe it seemed like more was against it, because they bagged on Jerry for screwing up the contract. I think they wanted to bag on him and the FO more so than the thought of losing Gregory.
It could have been more 50 / 50, but seems like there were a lot more for him going than staying. Like I said, they wanted bag on the FO more.
Now I do recall some questioning it, more after they signed Fowler and Armstrong, then drafting Williams. Again more so to bag on the FO.
I was the driver of the "Dallas got lucky RG left because Dorance is a better every down player at half the cost" train but I am not dunking on Gregory for getting injured.
All that said I will gladly gloat about the Broncos overpaying by quite a lot for a guy turning 30 with no history of sustained performance.
Randy was right to take that cash. Denver shouldn't let his agent back in their building ever again. Sold them snake oil on that deal at that price.
