Let's revisit a few past moves this team has made

[TheMarathonContinues]

This organization made some terrible moves this offseason starting with how they handled the wide receiver position. Stupidity and arrogance IMO.

But there are a few moves this team has made in the past few seasons that are helping this team out now.

Choosing Jaylon Smith over Myles Jack seems to have been the right move. Not only do they have a solid linebacker but they also have a guy who can rush the passer.

Brett Maher over Dan Bailey. Another stupid move by this organization. Or so I thought. I don't know if it was this team having zero faith in Bailey to return to form or too much faith in Maher. The guy has been GREAT. Even his makes are looking better and better by the week.

LVE. What can you say about him? This team was essentially winless without Sean Lee and some of the games were historically bad for the defense. Wow what a year does. Ridley is having a great year but this is how you replace a player like Sean Lee. Do it while he's still on the team. Don't wait until you cut him or until he retires and be left with nothing. What I like about LVE and Jaylon is they look the part. They look like machines out there playing.

Re-signing Joe Looney. I think at best we thought he was a decent backup. I don't think any of us had any faith in him actually starting for us at center and he has been very good. He looks to be in the best shape I've ever seen him in.

Moving Byron Jones back to corner. Long overdue. He wasn't a bad safety but he's now looking like a potential lock down corner and making it easier to forgive this team for going Zeke over Ramsey.

The FO is paying a lot for their sins of the past and probably rightfully so. But I’d say their recent history is hard to overly criticize.

So they get credit for righting a wrong that should have never been done in the first place?

In regards to what? The Byron Jones move? I give them small credit for at least writing the wrong. In years past this team has had a problem admitting they were wrong. Moving Byron back to corner admits you were wrong.

This is killing us right now. Somebody needs to step up and I have no idea who that is. I don't think he is currently on this roster.

Not only how they handled it but how they are continuing to handle it.......they didn't even try at Josh Gordon. AND are still not trying to acquire anyone. I get not trading top picks. But you don't even want to get rid of a mid rounder?

What's next, swap Collins and Williams on the OL?

That needs to happen if you ask me.

I'd be all over a conditional 4th for Amari Cooper. I'd be on the phones about that tonight.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Passing on DJ Moore was a great move too. He might put it all together and be great one day, but I watched him make a gaffe on special teams and fumble two balls away today.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

The stupidity and arrogance of this F.O. to make Jason Garrett HC is enough to astonish any team's fan in the nfl .

 

[Aven8]

Are you kidding? Collins was awesome today.

I never understood the extreme hoopla on this board over Moore.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

This board was desperate for a big time WR and there were hardly any of those available in the draft.

I still contend I like Sutton more.

Yeah I don't know how they aren't on the phones RIGHT NOW. I bet you the Commanders or Jaguars are though.

Well I thought it was because of his hands but what he did today was just embarrassingly bad.

I'm not speaking about one game. I'm speaking about 2 years of this. This guy needs to be playing guard. Did you see him last week?

I would add knowing when to drop out of the bidding for WR Sammy Watkins. Although, the Cowboys were offering around $14M/year which was crazy before getting outbid. Got a little lucky in my opinion that the Chiefs outbid them. Watkins is good but hasn't done much this year and nothing anywhere close to $16M/year.

Funny debated many here that felt watkins was closer to elite #1 then he was to Dez.
