And Stephen Jones Tom foolery continues..........

Is Poe doing anything for ATL right now?

Tells you something when Charlton is still on the active roster.

Did you really think Dallas would cut their first round pick 6 games into his career???

He's playing pretty decently for them.

And certainly much, much better than what we've trotted out at the 1 tech this year.

 

[Stash]

It's sad to see that some fans can't understand the strategy that is going away from signing other teams' castoffs and trying to build through the draft. I mean, almost every other SB winning team in the past 20 years has done it that way, but it must be a crappy strategy.

The "crappy strategy" part comes from the fact that their choices can't even make it through 7 games.

Nobody is talking about breaking the bank either, so you can drop that strawman.

They're pointing out the fact that the decisions they did make were so poor that they can't even stay on the team for two months.

That's pretty good record of ineptitude right there.

Who knows if they could have had Hyde. They never tried. Because they were too busy shopping in the triple discount rack.

There are a lot of guys who signed team friendly contracts that could have helped this team. Poe signed for $8MM one year. We could have afforded that and our DT play would be infinitely better. Same with Bennie Logan, who signed for $7MM. Hyde is another name. Patrick Robinson. McCourty (not the S in NE). There are literally a dozen or so names that we could have signed that we passed on because they were too costly.

The front office stumbled this offseason. And the only reason they don't get a total F is because we think Lewis, Woods and maybe Awuzie can play.

That alone is enough to think this isn't a historically bungled offseason for the FO. Which was and is my original point in the first place.

 

[lopey]

Yes a big whiff in the FA market this year no doubt. Why in gods name they keep thinking they can sign crap and make them good. Again it comes down to the team thinking they can fit anyone in the Marinelli defense and he can make them great!

 

[Sydla]

That alone is enough to think this isn't a historically bungled offseason for the FO. Which was and is my original point in the first place.

And I already told you that it's probably a stretch to call it the worst offseason of all time but trying to argue whether or not it actually was the worst offseason is really just an argument of semantics.

The fact is, this was not a good offseason for the FO.

You guys can drop the idea that I'm trumpeting this offseason as some big win for the FO, because that is something I haven't done. Just pointing out that it's A. Too early to say it is the worst or among the worst ever and B. A complete overreaction to do so because we cut some bottom-of-the-barrel FA signings.

A myth that has been disproven many times.

 

[Alexander]

Apparently there is a rumor of some off the field shenanigans that have been repetitive.

Considering how mature and stable Moore was and always has been, this is just shocking I say.

So much for the fluff pieces when he came off suspension how he had turned a corner, owned his mistakes and blah blah.

I mean it's so obvious to see but I just guess some struggle to criticize the org at times. So they argue in weird absolutes where signing a guy like Carroll is the only real option they have other than blowing your cap signing a Gilmore or Bouye.

The dishonesty in that type of debating is hilarious.

 

[Stash]

Because you say so? You really think this team signed Carroll, Paea and D Moore and said "now we're cooking with gas!" They knew those guys were stop-gaps at best, otherwise they'd still be on the team.

You don't guarantee $4 million for a two-week player. And "stopgap" players play a season or more, not less than two months. Those aren't "stopgaps" , those are poor decisions and mistakes.

When has this FO ever admitted to big mistakes so quickly? If anything, they double down on mistakes to try and be the smartest guy in the room - unless they didn't see these guys as super valuable to begin with.

So admitting their mistakes somehow means they didn't make them? Cool story, bro.

The sad fact is that every decision they've made on personnel this offseason has been a bad one. From who the young decided to let go, to who they brought in to replace them. Every single one of them has shown to be the wrong move.

And Damontre Moore is just the latest in a string of examples.

 

[Montanalo]

His butt was too hard and hurt Garrett's hand when he slapped it>

I tend to speed read and, on occasion, miss something important.

I sped through, "his butt was too hard... " and thought, "whoa" need to slow down and read the rest a bit more slowly.

If that's the case, he deserved it. He talked like he was getting it, but maybe his actions didn't match the talk?

Either way, it's still a miss for the front office. Among several.

Except they didn't really cut bottom of the barrel FAs. They cut their top FA signings.

People are rightfully pointing out that when your best FAs give you no help and are cut not even halfway through the season, you have a flawed FA plan.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

We could have had Dontari Poe for 8 Mil. Can you imagine Lawrence-Poe-Collins-Irving?

Only $8M? That is some serious money.
In hindsight, yeah it would have been much better to sign Poe and none of the others. But at the time, the team needed DBs first to cover for the loss of Church, Claiborne, and Carr.

 

[Alexander]

A complete overreaction to do so because we cut some bottom-of-the-barrel FA signings.

If our rival completely blew it with their free agent strategy, you would be laughing at them. It is not a disaster, but it is still embarrassing and honestly, pathetic.

 

[Sydla]

A myth that has been disproven many times.

Exactly.

Denver - Ware, Talib, etc. FAs.

NE - Bennett, Hogan, Long, Sheard. FAs.

We can do this all day.
