Let's see which armchair GM's admit being wrong.


WOW!!

Simple questions only using the 1st 3 rounds.

1.Which player did you disagree with when drafted that worked out good for the team??

2. Then which pick were you fully on board with that busted out??

Mine

Picks I disagreed with.

1. Kuechly - I was totally pissed about the pick. I thought it showed no faith in Beason Davis and Anderson. Boy was I wrong.

1A. Deanglo Williams - I loved Foster and thought it was a waste to draft D-Will when we had Deshawn. I was wrong.

Picks I agreed with.

1. Dwayne Jarrett - loved the pick when Hurney made it. Thought it was the steal of the draft to get him in the 2nd round. I was wrong as hell.

1A. Jimmy C lausen - see Jarret

1B. Everett Brown - I even liked the fact we traded up for him. Lol

Now you guys.

Nearly broke my coffee table in half when we picked Kuechly. Love it now. Mainly hated the pick because we had other needs.

Fell in love with Cam after he beat Arkansas and was hoping we'd find a way to draft him.

I'll add more later.

1. Cam Newton. Does Jonathan Stewart count?

2. Terrell McClain. Jeff Otah. Dwayne Jarrett. Eric Shelton.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
