The draft is coming and we are turning our attention to it
But how we conduct it is generally confusing.
It's an indication of the leadership of this team under our GM Jerrah.
Ultimately, Jerrah as GM is responsible for supporting this team building approach and setting the tone.
The types of players taken are always it seems these risk/rewards types..especially our #2 picks which we seem to devalue.
Picks like Jaylon Smith, Gregory, and others seem to follow a solid #1 pick. They generally are complete with injury problems, questionable medical reports and plunging draft positions.
Why not stop this and stay with BPA guys and stop dice rolling? Can anybody point out to me where this approach has ever produced unearthing a diamond in the rough?
Think long and hard now.
Is this going to stop with a new HC with so much rebuilding ahead?
Personally I hope so.
This team has been here before. Back when we had won our SBs in the 90s we hit a wall with Switzer carrying guns on to airplanes and Michael Irvin running with drug dealers and ladies of less than wholesome values.
Get me?
What it says is the team are accepting of short-term results to just get them on the field at any point to get some discounted help despite injury or suspension history.
Now all players will suffer injuries at some point. But if you start out with injuries and bad decision making off the field and draft them..
You double your potential risk for failure.
This team needs to stop this philosophy immediately and draft healthy, un-addicted, emotionally stable players.
No other sport franchise does this with the regularity as we do.
If this team is really trying to fix its problems going forward..
then Will Clay and others in the draft room must reset their goals.
I wonder if McCarthy has any influence on this at all?
He impresses me as a guy with high requirements.
Time to make all the changes and really get a fresh start for this team.
Back when I first started following this team I was 10 years old. One of the reasons the team became popular was that it represented cowboys..
a personality of being tough, heroic and single-mindedness in pursuing a moral high ground goal.
People flocked to that ideology in the mid-60s.
People were going to the theatres to see John Wayne and Hollywood heroes to escape stuff like assassinations, the Vietnam War and other national tragedies.
Bi-Polar, drug violations, violence prone players need not be considered for this team.
There was a time when this team refused to draft players like Randy Moss and took players like Greg Ellis instead because we had tired of the actions of players like Michael Irvin who was caught chasing drugs and women of suggested reputations.
Enough.
Can we see these issues as root causing issues for our failures as tone-setting approaching ingredients to our problems?
I never see GB have these issues. They have run rings around us over the last 25 years..
Does McCarthy fix things or does he continue our endless journey of frustration?
Your observations are welcome.
I apologize in advance for your time to read this. I value everybodies opinions, folks.
