every team does it. every team screws up and lets someone go who has potential and every team screws up and keeps some players longer than others.

the team makes more good judgment calls than not.

am i going to ignore the mistakes? no. am i going to harp on them? no. i'd rather move on and look forward. looking back means squat. what are you going to do from this point on? that is all that matters. the person who stands and stares back at past glories or past mistakes goes nowhere.

I'm not whining about it. This is my team good or bad, I'm just making an observation.

Point is, we held onto KEARY COLDBERT and cut those guys two different years. NOW THAT, is inexcusable.

I'm kind of excited about Leonard and Harris though, I'd like to see what they can do Sunday.

A little perspective...

We had some great defensive plays last season made by a DE who the Raiders thought wasn't worth hanging onto and a DT that the Rams thought would never amount to anything.

Our de facto third receiver is a guy who the Lions didn't think was worthy of a spot on the regular roster, even though they'd drafted him in the fifth round. In his place, they now have Keary Colbert.

The starting QB who has led the team to its most successful seasons was for years kept on the bench behind Aaron Brooks, even when Brooks was injured and fans were practically begging the coach to start him (a decision which Jim Haslett has since admitted was...a bad one).

Our Super Bowl season saw some great moments by, among others, a backup defensive end that the Dolphins traded away to acquire Jay Williams, a receiver who the Eagles thought wasn't as good as Freddie Mitchell in the 2001 draft, and a runningback who the Redskins thought had nothing left in the tank.

Aaaand last but not least, we have our current starting running back in part because the all-knowing, always infallible drafting geniuses in New England thought Laurence Maroney would be a better choice. So much so that they traded up ahead of the Panthers to take him.

It works both ways.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
