I don’t know how to rephrase what I’m saying. The GM’s job. Is to plan for the future.

Romo was very old and coming off a season ending injury. Expecting him to play much longer was DUMB. That’s the point. even in the moment of the draft. They should have seen Romo’s retirement being right around the corner. Not seeing it was DUMB.
Many of us were saying to draft heir apparent in 2016

Plead guilty to a federal crime, no biggy keep ballin. Charges dropped for driving while intoxicated, suspension.

Tell me again how wonderful the corrupt, inept and self serving NFL conduct policy is.

Peyton Manning set an NFL rookie record for interceptions as a rookie.

Sure, scheme always helps, but the whole idea is to continue to get better each year
Goff has.

How somebody did two seasons ago is borderline (not completely) irrelevant

I hear ya man. I was lobbying for it too on my old message board. I was upset when they didn’t take one early.

I then thought they lucked out on Dak..... but that doesn’t seem to be the case unless some kind of drastic change happens.

Our GM is dumb. You get no argument from me on that. My point is, nobody thought going into 2016 draft, Romo would never play again.
You don't give up a farm for a player that's going to sit for 3 years. Especially when you have so much holes elsewhere in your roster.

Also, Goff sucked under Fisher. In fact, if you go back and read the Rams forum in 2016, you'd see the same comments about him you see here about Dak. I doubt he'd look 1/2 as good here playing in JG's offense.

Jerry wearing both hats is a conflict of interest.

As owner he promotes eternal optimism but a GM has to plan for worse case scenario.

An absolute classic coaching/play-calling moment just then.

Hunter has a big sack.

Then, immediately, McVay runs a play right at him, taking the momentum right back.

That is the game within the game that nobody notices.

Trusting your Left Tackle is so huge. McVay has been fantastic for Goff(and getting rid of Fisher), but the pick up of Whitworth was freaking huge for Goffs development.

Dak is a great backup and still could be.
