Quote:It initially started with the Don Carey situation. He cut two safeties that granted were great, but were wayyyyyy better than Carey. I mean, we would have made the playoffs if we beat the Colts at the end of the year. Throwing a terrible safety out there was just dumb when we were competing for the playoffs.

 

I didn't like the Gabbert pick. There were a lot of moves I didn't like. What finally made me realize Gene was bad GM was when he drafted a punter in the 3rd round. He always wanted to be the smartest kid in the class. I agree with TMD, Gene had absolutely no concept of value.

I agree with most of this, though I can't say I was down on the Gabbert pick at first. There were concerns earlier, but I really try to be patient on draft picks and see how they turn out.


But 3rd round punter, that one shocked me. As in legitimate shock. I sat there looking at my buds at the draft party and we just couldn't believe what we were seeing. I was sure he should have been fired then.
