Not much discussion about Beane with his name in the title. The man hasnt conducted one draft yet. Seems pretty clear he wants more picks and more cap room flexibility. Seems to be the anti-Whaley. That will always sound good to me. You gotta give the man a few years to show what he can do.
One thing I never understood about passing on Gronk is the hometown connection. Ive seen too many guys lately go up to the podium and not exactly be thrilled we picked them.
Here was a local boy who would of loved playing here but Foghorn Leghorn Catfish Nix didnt see it.
I swear that during this drought a good many people dont even know what good QB play is anymore, you've seen so much crappy QBs play that TT defenders mistake his mediocre QB play for good QB play.
If he just had Dallas's offensive line, Gurley at RB, Gronk at TE, Julio, Antonio, AJ Green, Jordy Nelson, Hopkins at WR, he might take a team to a WC birth. So thats what you need to surround him with.
Mind boggling on the GMs part, the coaches part, and the OC's part on some of his usage and just being on the team. Leadership might entail being in shape.
The sack was just terrible.
He should of thrown the DiMarco screen into the ground....the play was blown up from the start.. but he doesnt
He should of had Shady in the corner the EZ, ball should of been out before Shady made his cut, but he was late and it was a bad throw.
If you look at what Woods and Goodwin(who hasnt had Jimmy G throwing to him all season), have done you see that TT is holding back the receivers. He's holding the offense back, not making it better.
It was a crap, gutless call with the season pretty much on the line. You converted how many 3rd downs in the first half, so why think you cant convert a 4 and 2. A quick pass to KB for 2 yards would be hard for any CB to defend. To me, there is no aguement it was the wrong call. You are playing against the Pats and Brady, they are going to score more so you have to score more.
I agree with you. A young guy with an attacking O would be preferable. This crap may work when you play the lesser teams but when you go up against the big boys not so much.
