Bob, you do realize that free agency and trades go all the way up to the season and untilthe trade deadline,I think we have had a good draft so far. You never really know for at least a year or two. I do think the trade down at 24 was good and drafting lineman has been good. They still need a RB.
The problem is when you have zero Invested in free agency, everything rests on the draft and current player development. It is not a modern approach to building a top roster In the NFL cap era.
I mean we have a lot of offseason left to fill the holes they don't get in the draft,
I still believe they're going to get one of the three running backs left in the draft that are still on the big board, so they're rated way higher than where they slipped down to Zeke will not be a #1 running back, they will use a running back by committee if they have to,
I continue to tell you guys why do you need to post things that Jerry says just ignore it, it doesn't need to be said, you think he's serious and he may think he's serious but Mike McCarthy the rest of his team they don't feel that way, they're not going to give all the carries to Ezekiel Elliott but they started the proper way you fix the offensive line 1st and you can make good backs a running back by committee very efficient..
But I truly believe they will get one of these last three backs you know the kid from Notre Dame or Kentucky or Allen most people around here were very high on Allen.. Last I checked he's still there, will they go get one of these three I don't know but you can take Jerry seriously all you want but I keep telling you guys stop worrying about what's being said whether they're serious or not whether it's a smokescreen whether they believe it or not I don't believe that's how it's going to end up on the field that's why you have a coaching staff that's why you're offensive and defensive coordinators are going to call the plays not Jerry.. These coaches jobs are on the line they're not gonna hand the ball 600 times to zeke just to satisfy the owner I promise you that that's a bunch of old narratives that are not true zeke will simply settle into a role here..
I take nothing anybody says in the front office seriously anymore, it doesn't bother me one way or the other ,I'm indifferent because I don't care long as they put another 10-to-12-win team that can compete for the division and get in the playoffs it gives us a shot at being a contender, that's all i care about, that's settled on the field. We can't talk about what has or has not been done this offseason because it's not finished.
In the past this is their MO, I don't know how you guys are surprised they do most of their shopping for their free agents after the draft and they make trades like they did for cooks and Gilmore and Hankins... they will do that a few weeks after the draft it'll start Monday but they have a list I'm sure of it and it may not be what everybody wants, and it may not be the names on your list, but they will find a way to put together a competitive team because they have the last three years.
My confidence isn't in the front office or the GM nor is my support but what are we going to do just complaining about it and mocking them and making this place into a circus by constantly posting what they say and then saying the same things every day is becoming very redundant...
The same people come on these threads and say the same thing about the same people and they keep posting it yes Jerry and Stephen say stupid ****, so I'm just saying when you see some things they say on Twitter or some of the dumb remarks they say in press conferences it happens you just got to learn to just ignore it ,
why does it affect you so much??
Like you said it's been a pretty solid draft so far, most people have given it a B plus, some have given it an A because they working in the trenches they filled needs with athletic players some players had high grades they didn't reach for many although I didn't know the two defenders, I don't know how they're going to work out but apparently they're similarities to some of our ex-players like Dorance Armstrong and yeah the linebacker they're saying he's raw but has a lot of upside, I don't know... But they're not finished with the draft they do almost all their work post draft leading right up to the season they're going to do what they always do and I don't understand why you guys complain about it because this is just the way it is,
complaining all the time, whining ,posting negativity and post that are super redundant, it won't change a single thing... We simply as a fan base all we can do is watch and debate the games and how the season went...
