Aren't most of us arm chair GM's on here? I mean it is a message board for people to share their thoughts and opinions.
I wasn't over the moon on the move, but I thought for the price it was solid. He didn't work out and we received compensation when we gave up none. I can't argue with that.
And if I got upset every time I was wrong about a move made on my favorite sports teams, I would be in a bad mood a lot. lol.
In this day and age so many people get mad over opinions and I find that curious, I really don't know what has changed over the last 25 years, I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the internet.
I'm not directing this post at you. Your post just made me think about the times I've been wrong before. I believe I have been wrong about Dak as an example. So many people seem to get upset when they are wrong and that's just something I don't understand. Just say you were wrong and move on, it really is simple in my opinion.
Yeah....I’m not upset, I just find it comical how almost every time we lose a player it’s “no big deal or not worth it” and every guy we get is an upgrade. We lost our two best defensive players last year, a top 10-15 corner in the league and our sack leader and most people said “good, he never got any INT’s” and “who cares how many sacks he got, he sucked against the run”.
Of course we replaced Quinn with Griffen who was supposedly a big upgrade. Then heard stories about how great Aldon was and Jerry was a genius and now Gregory. I don’t think anyone expected Diggs to replace Jones his rookie year but I still don’t agree with letting Jones walk over zeke and Jaylon.
We had known good players and rolled the dice on a rookie, a guy who hasn’t played in 5 years, a pot head who couldn’t stay on the field due to his drug use and a 33? year old vet that was a FA for most of the off season for our sack leader and best CB.
Oddly, a lot of people thought these were all great moves by our genius FO. I won’t even go into detail about caving to a RB with two years left on his contract and paying Jaylon instead of paying Dak for a much cheaper rate at the time. I wonder if Jerry feels like he got scammed and has regrets because he should.
Actually, I’m not upset at people for being wrong but I am upset that our FO gets it wrong so often because it hurts the team. Personally, I think we’re screwed for the next 2-3 years due to all their blunders.
