Is it fair to say we lost the Switzer/Ward trade?

[Ranching]

Traded a guy who wore out his welcome for another who did the same

Fair to say that your thread is turrible

That's a bit harsh

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Or he could have fumbled and lost us a game...

Who would you rather have return punts Lenoir, Switzer or Austin?

 

[Jake]

Looks like Pittsburgh won that trade.

 

[Whyjerry]

I hate nearly everything Jerry does but as much as I like to complain about him you need to see how Tavon Austin does. Wasting another 4 stinks but let’s see if Austin was a steal first. He really was the reason why they dumped Switzer.

Austin is the only one on the 52 man roster, so I go with him.

Sometime the truth hurts.

Turrible thread

 

[Redball Express]

Almost EVERYONE here questioned why we drafted Switzer. Seemed like a wasted pick, and it was.

Hey..

I remember people drooling over the thought of Beasley and Switzer on the field together..

and how it was going to be special.

Never happened.

 

[CouchCoach]

Sure, it's fair to say anything here. But that won't stop someone from wanting to argue with you. And fair is both ambiguous and nebulous.

I was not one of those. I didn’t see how we could run more than a few olaysba game with both. It always seemed gimmicks to me.

 

[xwalker]

Not faulting in any significant way, but objectively, you want to win every trade, even the small ones.

The Raiders didn't get a 5th for Switzer...

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Go look how many fumbles Austin has had compared to Switzer.....

 

[bodi]

nope

AGREED

 

[bodi]

Switzer - the fumbling mumbling man was wasted pick IMO

TO SHORT WHEN WE ALREDY HAD BEASLEDY

 

[Jake]

So that makes two teams he never got a chance with. Oakland isnt all that deep at WR. At some point do you not begin to question why he isn't getting the opportunities you believe he deserves?

As far as Pitt goes hes now hanging his hat on 4 wr sets for consistent production. How many fifth options do you know of that actually had decent production?

He's listed as the Steelers punt and kickoff return man. That's primarily why they traded for him, although they do plan to use him in the slot.

If you hate returner fumbles then you're gonna love Tavon Austin.

As for Beasley, the adoration spewed upon him greatly exceeds his production as a player. But he's from Texas...

 

[vaturkey]

I'll be glad for Sunday when this stuff no longer matters and we can talk about Cowboys football actually being played.

did not like that move either

I know, but now he has Coach Garrett to inspire him with a few f words and some clapping. Trust the process. Oh,and Switzer is no longer an option.

Didn't say Switzer was. The problem is everybody wants to diss on Switzer for 1 fumble when Lenoir and Austin fumble at a much higher rate. Switzer is a much better kick returner than Austin and it's not even close. Switzer was also a better punt returner, losing him will have an effect on the return game. Good thing though is I feel our defense will get the ball back to our offense with shorter fields but having a return man that can give us short fields is a big plus. I really hope Austin can provide that with his punt returns but there aren't many returners in the game I would take over Switzer and none are on this team right now.
