Uh yes, the Pats again tried addressing their need at DE with Rivers. If him getting hurt is somehow their fault then I guess we could revisit how we spent a 1st rounder last year on a guy who has been injury plagued.

The people like yourself that keep bringing up the SB as a defence of Ealy really need to open their eyes and see the bigger 3 year picture vs one freaking game. Then again, you're also justifying jumping up 8 spots while wasting a 2nd rounder, big picture isn't exactly this fan bases strong suit. I guess if we can't win the big things let's celebrate the small things? Panthers fans mentality 

So Gettleman moving Ealy to move us up to select our much needed OT after getting the best out of Ealy (this is why the SB is mentioned, because he peaked for a monster performance before falling off again) is bad... how? He moved on him after just 3 seasons, one of those again with an SB MVP level performance. Pats threw their first pick in the draft at us to move out of the 2nd and into the 3rd. Their pick is out for the year. Our's is pushing to start.

The Ealy pick didn't work out, but after we got his best he was traded for draft real estate. Would you have rather we gotten nothing out of it?

Big picture is that Gettleman cut bait early and got the team an OT after getting killed over not overdrafting one.

Oh noes, our 4th string DT was hurt!! Big difference between that and a replacement for your starting DE.

Ealy is essentially Gettleman's case study as to how overrated a GM he truly is.

Per PFT, a total of 7 teams put in a claim for Ealy. Including the Buccaneers.

Turns out they didn't.

Seven teams made waiver claims on Kony Ealy

 

Seven total teams made waivers claims, according to Jane Slater of NFL Media. Beyond the Jets, who secured priority (sucking has its privileges), the Cowboys, Giants, Buccaneers, Washington, Lions, and Cardinals.

I expect him to be a better player now. If getting traded and then cut by two different teams in the same off season doesn't humble him, then nothing will.

Because one talented-but-apparent-head case pick didn't pan out after 3 years? Mm kay.
