Will McClay - blows

[Chasing6]

We don't.

Jerry thinks he is trying, does that count?

 

[mattjames2010]

Guyton will.

McClays best days are behind him? He is one of the best in the league at his job. Moving on from him would be a huge mistake.

Why will Guyton? Because he promised to get better and was drafted high? And I have yet to see McClay find a diamond in the rough, has had terrible second round picks for years, and only seems to hit on almost for sure quality prospects.

Because Guyton wasn't ready to be a walk in day one starter but was given the job. And he is learning a new position changing sides. Yes he will get better. Lots better. Not to mention, look at the DE's he faced until he got hurt.

McClay found at least one diamond in the rough just last April. Maybe 2. Carson is a good one and Flournoy certainly looks the part.

You can't blame McClay for those 2nd round blunders. Making draft picks isn't his job. It never has been. BP said it best when it comes to McClay:

Will McClay is not the problem.
Thinking Will McClay is the problem...is a problem.

McClay really hasn’t done a bad job, the issue is Jerry being so dependent upon hitting in the draft. When you dive into draft success across the league you see that it’s just not realistic to hit on enough players to sit out free agency on a regular basis.

This is the answer. Jerry is overly dependent on hitting in the draft and puts forth little effort in building through FA and trades. The success rate needed to operate this way is very unrealistic and after decades in the NFL, any "Football Guy" would know that.

We all know the main problem is Jerry. Him and his son with their "all in" approach has worn out their welcome. Best thing Jerry can do is promote Mcclay and leave everyuthing to him. Also just fire McCarthy and Zimmer. Both need to go.

Guyton was a first round pick. Nobody is saying he should have been an all-pro, but he is one of the WORST tackles in the league right now. There is nothing shown yet that he possesses first round talent or even high second round. He's been that bad. The only reason anyone is saying they are sure he will be good is because of where he was drafted and because he's said the right things on the mic after games. Good he's accountable for his poor play.....but still plays poorly.

And why can we not blame McClay for his second round blunders? So he only gets credit for the good picks? What the hell is this glazing?

Front office, Draft room, and Scouting Department........serious breakdowns and deficiencies start here.

Guyton lacks power which is sorely needed to play OL in the NFL. His initial punch is surprisingly weak for a blue chip OT. He also looks too light in the upper body, imo, and that’s why he doesn’t dominate at the point of attack. You’re not playing basketball out there on the LOS. You’re not just shielding people and boxing out. You have to be physical and move 300lb DL off the ball. I’ve seen none of that from him.

As for McClay, Someone has to take the blame for the horrendous personnel decisions around here, and we all know it ain’t gonna be Jerruh….

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I had enough for this guy - Guyton looks a bust .

Zero playmakers drafted - ZERO - no gamebreakers - nobody’s whose jersey would sell after CD.

This guy is a fraud

this is the second year in a row our draft has come up empty....and that depletes a team of talent quickly. specially one that refuses to sign FAs and goes checking the bottom of the barrell.

 

[Longboysfan]

He is a developmental project. Making the switch from LT to RT is not easy to do.

I would strongly consider making a change during the bye week.

LT - Smith
RT - Guyton
ST - Steele

Who becomes our LG???

Bass.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Another bad thing about the family business as GMs is unlike other teams, our GM is separated. Stephen runs the contracts, McClay runs the drafts and scouting, and Jethro jumps in on a whim whenever he still feels like wildcatting. Doesn’t help with depth, that’s for sure.

 

[lostar2009]

Maybe he should play RT. Steele is getting beat like a drum.
