Quote:Do you grasp the difference between "defended" and indicating patience to allow the process to play itself out to make a determination about whether someone is doing an effective job or not? Obviously not. That's a rhetorical question.
You're more than welcome to whine to your heart's content about the losses. Guess what? It's not going to change a stinking thing. All it will do is make you a miserable, whiny fan. If that's what you prefer, have at it.
Quote:It was an incomplete pass.
Quote:All 3 guys instantaneously knew that and that is why nobody had any urgency to jump on it.LOL. Miller jumped on it immediately and it rolled between his legs. There were also 4 other Jags about to pounce when the ref blew the first whistle.(should have been a dead ball at that moment - but the other ref had thrown the bean bag) This whole thing is just fiction from someone's bad take in the game day thread.

You mean they weren't just standing around nonchalantly chatting about the weather?
This is when the whistle blew.
Quote:Gene's been gone for a couple of years now. When do you plan on letting him go? There are only a couple of remnants from his era. That's a pretty good reason for why the team is struggling today with all of the roster turnover, particularly with much younger players filling starting roles. So, when do you plan to move on from Gene?Hahah I moved on from him the second he took a punter in the 3rd round. You on the other hand continued to put faith in him saying "He knows more than you do so lets trust him to make the right decisions."

Just let the fans vote on personnel moves. They do just fine in Madden.
Sometimes the GMs are not smarter than the people on this board. Sometimes they are. Caldwell definitely outsmarted everyone here with the BB pick. I like to make my own judgements about where the team is headed rather than just put blind faith in the people running the team.

Quote:It doesn't tell anyone anything. Should have been an easy recovery. Someone gif the whole play.

Quote:Love how you always bring up Madden. I don't play but cool.Nobody was ever declaring Gene was a great GM, especially after his 2nd draft. Still, they gave him the benefit of the doubt that he had a plan, and that he should be allowed to let it play out. When it continued to flounder, nobody was hoping the team would keep him around. Most people have moved on. You clearly haven't because you bring him up with some regularity.
I bet if you could go back and look at mock drafts done by people on this board from 2008-2012, I bet they were better than the GMs. GMs definitely do play a major role but only good GMs. After 2 drafts, you could tell Gene was terrible. Scotty McGee, Larry Hart and Austen Lane? Yikes.
And sometimes it is that simple. Sometimes people on this board don't out think the draft pick. They just take the best player. Alualu at #10? I think a ton of people were calling for Earl Thomas and JPP.
