So what happens when AE turns into a viable player? The fact that you can applaud him for getting rid of Fox but then disapprove of AE because he is a "bust" is an oxymoron. I say let Ron make his decisions and see what comes of Manti, if he busts he busts, but if he doesn't, then it looks like a good deal. We have to degenerate from Fox completely before we make decisions about rookie players that played under his coaching.

I dont see how you can call me an oxymoron for applauding JR for getting rid of fox but saying AE is a bust because I never said he was a bust.

I don't think AE is a bust. Actually I have said in past threads to not give up on AE because he is going to take time to develop and it will be another season before we will be able to tell if AE is a bust. I will say the same about Jimmy Clausen as well. Its not that I think JR made a bad decision by picking AE, I think JR made a bad decision because of what he traded to get the 3rd round pick that ended up being AE.

I hate the trade involving us getting AE because it just doesn't make sense to trade a future second round pick for a late 3rd round pick. I mean before the draft began we already cut our starting QB, both Starting DT, and starting FB, 2 vet linebackers and we just lost our all star DE to the Bears on top of that we didn't sign anyone in free agency. On top of that our starting Qb had less than 8 starts. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that we were going to struggle the upcoming season. So before JR even made the trade he knew that the upcoming season was a rebuilding season and there was a good chance that we would be picking in top of each round in the upcoming draft. We didn't even get a early 3rd round pick in the trade.

I mean honestly would you think that trading a 3rd round pick for a second round pick is smart at all? Even if our team had a good year, a 2nd round pick for a 3rd round pick isnt a good trade.

okay maybe the player he traded for was supposed to be a top pick that ended up slipping to later rounds, that would make the trade seem like we weren't getting totally screwed right? Well too bad AE was a projected 7th round that never played the position he was drafted to play. I don't see how anyone can say the trade made any sense at all. Now you probably think I hate AE but I really hope the best for the guy and I know project players like him could end up taking years so we will have to wait to see what he can do in the NFL.

We can agree on one thing though and that is, you can't judge a rookie playing under Fox. In fact its hard to judge any player on offense under the Fox regime. I also think we can agree that Rivera is going to be very different from Fox, I really have high hopes for Ron and his future with the Panthers.

Agreed, but you can't call someone an oxymoron.
