His hardtail stance exposed Ramsey? So him paying our trash can of a quarterback money after a season in which the defense did all the work was a hardtail stance? Or was it complete ignorance? Jalen was the key for the only success we've had in nearly 15 years and Coughlin decided to extend Blake Bortles who was already a liability by this point. Meanwhile guys like Jalen and Yannick we're completely overlooked for extensions or pay raises if you will. 

Not only did that complete moron completely disrespect the good young players on our team, he completely set us backwards even prior to the 2017 season by taking Leonard Fournette over Deshaun Watson or Mahomes.. ofcourse this could also have been some of Caldwells doing based on the fact that he didn't want to give up on the QB he drafted, but either way whomever made that mistake cost us big time. Had the defense remained the same with the addition of either of those 2 qbs I think it's safe to assume we probably would have had an even better record and likely a superbowl win to our name. We would more than likely also still have guys like Yannick, Jalen etc on our team as cornerstones. 

But sure, let's praise the guy because he was a decent coach 20+ years ago.. Completely forget that he got fired for ruining our cap position back then (shocker, makes poor decisions paying his players) and pretend like he's some legend. He ruined our team, end of story.


I think it's absolutely histerical how nobody trashes Coughlin/Caldwell for taking Fournette in the top 10, but absolutely crapped all over Balke/Urban for taking ETN (who tbh with you, is a better prospect than Fournette was) at 25. Such a short seighted group of people on this board I swear.

Oh and let's not forget the future HOF selection of Taven Bryan. Thanks Tom

By all means, go off on Coughlin all you want.  But who exactly are you blaming those picks on?  Him or Caldwell?  You can't have it both ways.  There were bad/questionable picks while Coughlin was here.  There were bad/questionable picks after he left.  A blind monkey could have made better use of the picks we got from the Ramsey deal than what we wound up with.

My response was specifically about Ramsey, not doing a post mortem on the whole era and regime.  "Disrespect" him?  How about that arrogant prick respect his coach and his GM.  I could not care less that his little feelings got hurt.  Comport yourself like a pro.  Be accountable.  Stop blaming your teammates when things go wrong.  Stop faking injuries to get your way.  There has not been a single moment that I've regretted them shipping his butt to LA.
