Well, I guess that's me you refer to. I was not in favor of drafting Zeke. I was actually in favor of trading down or taking Ramsey but I suppose that's here nor there. I just think you are looking at this from an angel that is too narrow. Again, this is not a personal thing against Zeke, for a lot of people. It's about the value of RB and the wisdom of using such a valuable asset as 4th overall on a RB.
A lot of people didn't think we should extend Zeke but many more didn't believe we should have done it early. I mean, even now, I don't see the value in that decision by the team. I still don't agree that we should have extended Zeke early but it's done. I just think it's a bigger picture and a series of decisions that don't favor the team, at least at this point.
All of this is hinged on the over arching decision of what happens at the HC position, for me. Perhaps I am stupid and just foolishly believe that at some point, Garrett will be replaced and that might happen this year, assuming we are not successful. If that is the case, I am not a big believer in saddling any new HC with long term contracts that lock them in to any given scheme. If we bring in a new HC, we may not see the running game as a staple of our offense any longer. This really hurts us, in terms of any deal such as the one we currently have with Zeke. If that happens, this deal is going to look x10 fold worse for most fans. I was never in favor of this deal, as I have said, but I do like the idea that we limited ourselves to a relative short term if we need to get out of it, for specifically the reasons I give above. I don't look at it as poorly, only because I like who it was structured but I don't discount the position a lot fans take on this because we don't know what's going to happen yet. This could all get worse and we could be looking at a new HC and we don't know if RB is going to play a big a role.
There is a lot up in the air at this point and I understand the position of many. I don't see them as wrong. I see them as worried and that's understandable IMO.
