What if games is a child's game. Meaning immature.  

I don't care how you look at it. 

 I don't play such stupidity. 

Yes you do. Everyday. Bare minimum, your brain calculates what ifs unconsciously. 
 

On a separate note, you know what else is a child’s game? Football. 
 

But hey, pretend to be whatever you want. This is the internet after all.

I love it when people try to imply people do things they don't.  

Then try to justify it.  

I understand a lot of people do it.  I don't.   Thanks for your attempt to tell me what I do and don't do.

Everyone does it. Literally everyone. You are part of everyone. 
 

It may not be as on the nose as “what if Rhule didn’t blah blah blah” but the thinking doesn’t have to include the words “what” and “if” to be a what if. 
 

I assume you make decisions, like the decision to post on here. 
 

Some part of your brain evaluated whether or not to post a reply to me. What if you did? You have the result here. What if you did not? I would have nothing to respond to. 
 

You aren’t better or worse than anyone else, and you play “kid games” just like anyone else (your definition).

 

Although reducing what ifs to what “kids” do, when any form of rational thinking includes what if thinking is…well…something a “kid” might do.

the guy with the 1000s of alts aka chuck was 100% right about parsons... 

I mean I wanted Fields but if we get to change something Parsons is the best in the top 10 imo. Horn imo would be second though including Lawrence so we didn't pick bad. We just didn't get the player of most impact.

[Carolina Cajun]

Signing robbie anderson.  Since we've released him it's become so obvious how toxic he was but not only that, he is insanely shitty yet we kept that turd as put #2 for years.  He was literal cancer for our locker room.

[Smohn Jith]

Since most have pointed out the obvious, I'll give another answer.

 

Signing Cam Irving and then actually starting him. Who honestly thought that was a good idea ?

In a rare move, I totally whiffed on Parsons. I thought he was a normal MLB-type-role player.......he is a game changer. I personally thought Jamin Davis was the better MLB.(hes not). If you were to have a all-world team, parsons is somewhere on the starting D.... 

I blame some of this on me de-valuing the MLB spot, but again Parsons is not a MLB he is michael myers dealing with a group of teens in a abandoned house..

Saying yes to the job.

Beat me to it. 
 

Let’s just say that one’s off the table. Hiring all his college buddies who had zero practical NFL experience. Though. If I really had to pick it would he firing Brady. Tepper should have dropped Rhule last year when he was going to fire Brady. Just like Tepper did this year when I’m guessing he was going to fire Wilks.

Well Parsons isn't a MLB. He's another Von Miller - a pass rusher in a 4-3 playing at LB.

The biggest mistake was trying to compete his first year. If he had just embraced the suck we could have ended up with Trevor Lawrence 

[Jay Roosevelt]

The biggest mistake was not trading up to take Justin Herbert in the 2020 draft. That may have been as much as Hurney decision as a Rhule one, but clearly the signing of Teddy Bridgewater played a role. If we don't sign Teddy then maybe we're more open to moving up for Herbert come draft day.

I agree. If we truly stick to 'undo-ing' a decision instead of changing a draft pick/trade for someone else, then this is it for me. 

I don't mind the Darnold trade. It was a gamble. Wish we didn't exercise the 5th year option so early, but I also understand that would have been disastrous if he had played well his first year here. Imagine if CMC doesn't get hurt last year, Darnold continues his first 3 game production and we win 8-9 games. Had we not exercised the 5th year option, we likely would have signed Darnold to a 3-4 year contract worth ~25mil per. Yikes.

I also don't mind the Baker trade. For what we gave up, it was worth it at the time. Few expected him to perform as poorly as he did, but it cost us next to nothing.

The two biggest blunders, imo, were signing Robbie and resigning Ian Thomas. Robbie was the bigger mistake because it cost us more money and his attitude was a risk.

Have to give Dan Quinn props on that one. He knows undersized DEs just Vic Beasley. We just valued CBs a bunch more than LB because anyone besides Snow would have taken LB for this team. Snow wanted a CB every year.
