OK.  Done arguing with you.  

You're upset Belichick was hired but have no reco on who the better hire would've been.

You're upset the roster sucks but have no reco on who the better recruits would've been.

You're the guy who gets in an uber, tells the driver he's going the wrong way, and then the driver asks "which way should I go" and you reply "I don't know, just not this way".

 

It's not my job to identify the candidates and the recruits. But I can tell you that the coaching and the playing is ass and that it wasn't a lack of resources issue.

The idea fans can't complain without the direct ability / ideas to solve things is wild.

Again, who would you have hired and recruited.  Revisionist history is for cowards. 

Is it really revisionist history?  or was the UNC/Belichick hire always an obvious bad move that some just opted to do what sports fans do and work about convince themselves something not smart would be okay. 

I mean, you could bump the thread from when Bill was first hired.  It was always dumb.  Bill isn't a college coach.  

The Panthers shouldn't hire Dabo if somehow Canales got fired and Dabo was able to be talked out of Clemson.  I don't really need to give you a better name for Carolina to point out Dabo w/ the Panthers is just silly.

This ain't the first time that has been throw around in here. It's funny every time it comes up.

WeLl ThEy ArE pRoFeSsIoNaLz!!! YoU cAn'T dO aNy BeTtEr!!!!!

I mean, I can't do much worse either, right?

I could have told you Bill Belichick was a bad hire, and I did when it came up. I could have told you Matt Rhule was a bad hire, and I did. I could have told you that XL was a bad pick, and I did. Etc, etc.

It's the idea that far too many fans CAN come up with better and more reasonable solutions that infuriates us.

So glad they didn't draft Mason Graham. And they would have if he'd fallen to us - over TMac too. That kid just ain't a top 10 pick. He'll be ok by year 3, but he'll never be a Derrick Brown.

Yeah, he just doesn't look to have the physical makeup of a dominant NFL DL. How is that other Michigan DT looking? Because honestly when I went to go look at Graham it was the other guy who kept jumping out to me. I think Graham benefitted greatly from playing beside another legit high level NFL prospect and being able to routinely go up against single team blocks in college (a rarity for a top 10 NFL pick prospect) really helped him shine.

I don't think Grant is ever going to be a guy who gets good PFF scores. He's not a pass rusher and his pass rush score will probably always drag down his overall score.

Pretty sure he can't stop the run either.
