That second round pick from last year. Sheesh


Recommended Posts

Seems like nfl GMs should quit trying to "outthink" everyone. Right now looks like an absolute lost pick. Could have a rookie starting center or middle linebacker instead of a dude with a bum fuging leg collecting a check.....and doing fuging nothing

Way to find something to complain about during what’s looking like a successful draft. Cheers

That's why it came to me. A good draft is not expected from people who do dumb poo like last year. Glad you could set me straight, scrow.

It’s only dumb bc he injured his knee again. If he had come on last year and looked like a poor man’s J Gibbs, it wouldn’t seem dumb. Hate it worked out that way for the guy and really hoping he works out and can stay healthy this time.

Taking an injured guy at a position that is neither a need or has much positional value is dumb. Why are you trying to argue this? It's a bad position. Showing me up for being negative isn't worth taking a bad angle.

We drafted Edmund Kugbila years ago just before David Bakhtiari went.

 

no point in harping on what could but didn’t happen. Always been a crapshoot. 

The crapshoot is only worse when your GM ignores red flags and gets tunnel vision on his guy instead of making a pick that would actually help the team.

Tearing an ACL is not looked at nearly like it used to. There was no real expectation or indications that his knee would be an issue and he was the top RB in the class.

 

Not saying it was the right move, I would’ve loved the center Pitt took, but it’s one of those “understandable at the time, but looks awful with hindsight” kind of moves IMO

Considering our season was already over we probably should’ve just held him out his whole rookie year. I honestly can’t complain about that pick, I like the idea of trying to get an elite talent at RB on day 2 it just stinks he got hurt again immediately after debuting for us. Teams can get starters on day 2 obviously but more often than not those picks do not wind up working out, so comparing him to a starting LB is silly as it could easily go the opposite way and the other guy we pick could be a scrub not even worthy of being a backup. Brooks could still contribute to this team positively in a year and a half, he’s a talented kid

When Brooks was drafted, Hubbard’s contract was ending and the only guy we had locked up was Miles Sanders. That’s a need. Positional value can be argued for first round RBs, but taking who many thought was RB1 in the 2nd round is a smart move. 
 

From my perspective, you’re taking the bad angle as well as being negative. Sometimes the cookie crumbles with bad injury luck. Unfortunately, that’s difficult to predict. If we didn’t roster anyone who’s tore an ACL, we’d miss out on a lot of quality players.

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
