Pretty dumb to go all in on the double QB thing and then fire everyone a year later.  Arthur Blank sounded like he was behind that move at the time.  Morris would have won more games if he didn't play Penix.

Yeah, they are a fuged-up abomination of a franchise and always have been. They came into existence to thwart the further expansion of the AFL. Blank is probably better than the previous owner Rankin Smith/Taylor Smith, but only because he is willing and able to spend. They still manage to make a mess out of whatever they have in front of them. The fanbase are more like battered spouses in an abusive relationship.

It ain’t that important to me to verify and substantiate, but I think I heard at the time that Blank was blindsided and pissed.  
I want to say there was a meeting where they explained themselves to Blank that very night.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
