Quote:This signing and the GM and coaching staff's inability to see the potential of D. Robinson should scare the CRAP out of this fanbase and their hope for the future under this regime.

They did see Robinson's potential. It's why he was on the team to begin with. But last year he was a turnover machine. Standing pat with what they had on the roster would have been foolish. As it turns out, the Gerhart signing didn't work out and D-Rob put on 15 lbs and cleaned up his turnover issues. Pretty obvious in retrospect, not so obvious at the time. No GM will be be right every time. You could make the argument that maybe Shoelace should have been starting from the get go but once signed, they had to give Gerhart every opportunity to take the job and secondly, the OL was in flux at the beginning of the year. There's no way to know if he would have been as successful early as he's been lately.
