You can't win the super bowl without impact players. How many impact players did DG give us? One or two. Almost all of his players are JAGs.

2 of the top OGs in the league.  One we couldnt afford to keep because you dont pay max deals to guys at the same position (yes im looking at you Marty)

CMC

Moton

Samuel

KK Short (outside this year has been one of the top 3 DTs in the league)

Star (again couldn't afford to keep)

Bradberry 

Armah

Daryl Williams

Bene Benwikere- yes he is no longer here and bad now.  But as a rookie the dude was better than Jackson.  First team all rookie team, graded out as the top rookie DB is rookie year.  Never was the same after his broken leg

 

 

And while we're talking about "key players"

Why didnt those Hurney guys carry us to some wins.   

Its wasnt until Gettleman brought in key guys such as Ginn, Harper, Coleman, etc that they started winning

Yes Hurney drafted well with those high draft picks he got the chance to pick at after the dumpster fire he built.  But its a team sport.  Your not winning off 3-4 guys

People defending would sit here and defend the Browns bringback Hugh Jackson in a few years when they start winning.  Because he "draft Baker Mayfield and Miles Garrett, and traded a mid pick for Jarvis Landry"

It doesnt work that way

 

 

And sitting there throwing "well he drafted Butler, Ealy etc" while defending the guy who draft Pickles, traded the eventual 33rd pick for Armanti Edwards, trading a 1st for Everrett Brown, Sherod Martin, Fua, etc.  

You have Zero leg to argue on

Who were the impact players on those teams? Yep, Hurney guys. You think we'd sniff the playoffs without Stewart, Cam, Olsen, Kuechly, CJ, Norman, Davis, Kalil? I do admit that DG's dumpster diving helped (a lot more than his draft picks).

There are 53 impact players on a team, 45 of them active on a given game day.

You can try to credit a dozen guys for all the success of the team if you want, but the funny part about that is those dozen guys would actually be among the first people to tell you that you're wrong.

Why on earth do some people insist on pretending 2014 was a successful season. 7-8-1 is not good, even if it’s the best in a down year for the division and sneaks you into the playoffs

I'll give you a choice:

You can have a season where we go 7-9 and make the playoffs or a season where we go 9-7 and don't.

Which would you rather have?

He got beat in preseason, was avg in camp, and essentially won the job by default in camp

I would love it if we could get a GM and some coaches in here who value the safety position. We've been living off of a mid-late round draft picks and afterthought free agents at the safety positions for the majority of the franchise's history. I think it would shock people what a difference it would make in our secondary to have a true sideline to sideline centerfielder type of FS. Even the majority of the good safeties we've had have all been of the slower big hitter old school type safeties.

Lol, Benewikere started 6 games as a rookie. He did well late that season but he wasn't on Jackson's level. Jackson has been a top 20 rookie. Bene then had a bad 2015 in the slot and followed that season with the infamous Julio game. He was never heard from again.

Armah doesn't do much. Any FA FB can do what he does. Do we even use a FB outside of first & goal on the 1.

Bradberry is average. I don't expect him to be back after 2019. We can do soo much better.

Cam, Kuechly, Rivera didn't hit their prime yet.

I’ll answer your question, please return the favor. 

I’ll take the playoff season. Getting lucky because you’re division sucks does not equate to the GM doing a great job.

So would you change your tune on Hurney if we had gone to the playoffs every time his teams won 7 games if it snuck us into the playoffs. Or even half the times he managed 7 or more wins?  As you’re well aware 09 and 2010 were the only years he did not manage at least 7 wins.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but you're giving us way too much credit for being the best bad team in the NFC South that year. If given the choice of going 7-9 or 9-7 next year, 10 out of 10 people would choose 9-7. 9-7 historically gives you about a 50/50 chance of making the playoffs. 7-9 gives you low single digit chances. We just got really, REALLY lucky that year.

That's gotta start with the coach.

A GM generally doesn't give a damn what system you run. He just asks the head coach what kind of players he wants and then goes shopping for them.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
