He didn't succeed anywhere else he went, at least long enough for someone to keep him for any extended period. That's more telling of his talent (and attitude is included in that evaluation) than the coaching.

You don't need to give me a history lesson and tell me how great Johnson was. I already know that but it was a great post anyway so props. But you're also proving my point. Jimmy identified talent throughout the draft and how that talent could fit into his scheme and vision. The only way...

I'll agree on the new DB's. I like Lewis and Awuzie and these guys aren't afraid to mix it up. I hear you about Claiborne....hey, where's Mike Jenkins? Another exceptional first round talent that couldn't stick with another team.

He played "extensively" or do you mean "exclusively" because he was always injured so you must mean the latter. I remember these question marks being raised during the draft. Green was also a MAJOR reach for a third round pick. That was pretty much the consensus at the time. We took another...

I think Garrett's a bad coach and Jerry is a horrendous GM. This was a team that was gifted a franchise QB who carried both these scrubs to riches and hid their coaching and talent acquisition flaws. I don't live in a vacuum where in order for me to believe Garrett's a bad coach I have to...

Cup, I've got high hopes for you man. You're super bright and I'd bet you're a good dude and we'd get some laughs talking shit about dbair over a few beers. Please don't let him influence you. You and dbair as a team would be a label you'd never shake on the interwebs. I'm trying to help...

I'll tell you what's retarded.....comparing someone who traded a first, 3rd and a 6th for RWII to someone who traded a 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th round pick for Smagala. In essence, he traded a 6th and 4 UFA's for a player taken in the 5th round that Jimmy wanted. And this isn't about...

On the money. But hey, we draft well. Or so some folks here will tell you.

Exactly Scott. I think they became enamored with Jones' athleticism. And for all that athleticism, he's had 2 picks. That's it.

I mentioned a couple teams Cup. But again, I really don't give a shit. About the only thing we've done well is hit on O linemen in the 1st round consistently. I'll go furher...I'm starting to have my doubts about Zek and Dak although for drafting purposes, Dak was a 4th rounder. If he...

And how do you reconcile that? He had talent in 2016 but not in 17? Chaz Green had question marks coming out of college. His failure on this team should not come as a surprise. The guy lacks heart and passion for the game. Those guys don't work hard enough to improve their craft. I...

For all of Bennett's talents, he can't stay with one team for any length of time. There is no right environment for that kind of player, just like there's no right environment for a guy like Gregory. It's a waste of a pick. I think a lot of these guys have "talent." But we have no idea how...

Absolutely not. Johnson doesn't trade 3 picks for RWII or not have one contributor from 2009 with a dozen or so picks. You keep telling yourself we have talent and we'll keep failing and you'll keep scratching your head as to why.

Who cares? What bearing does it have on us consistently failing with second round picks or better? Does it make you feel better that other teams suck as well? I don't give a hoot about other teams. And I do know what you're refering to. I did see something yesterday that we ranked somewhere...

I thought so too. If I remember he was drafted to be the swing tackle but maybe he couldn't play tackle (surprise!!!) and they just tried to find a spot for him on the line?

Newman got a second contract with us...Carr wasn't drafted by us and did you really mention Bennett? Waste of a draft pick and they should have known he was a headcase. I remember Hard Knocks episode and the war room is telling Jerry they'll have to keep their foot on Bennett's throat and...

What's you saying Dooms? You talkin bout my mama?

Rynie called it. This dude is a crack baby who's brain never developed. Some folks should mature with age. This guy just gets dumber.

Chaz Green was a third round pick who was supposed to play multiple positions on the line. That was his job. He was drafted to be a swing tackle. That's how this scouting department and personnel people identified him. He then gave us one of the most putrid OL performances any of us have...

I understand that. But if a player has an issue with the angles he takes to make a tackle, that's not something he picked up in the NFL. I'm not sure any culture can make Chaz Green a serviceable OL. Or make the Gimp walk without a limp. Or make Randy Gregory swear off off weed. We've not...
