Quote:I think someone who lists MJD and Cox as quality players and who doesn't realize Marks and Clemmons were actually upgrades over Knighton and Mincey would explain why they have this scatterbrained perception.

 

It's easy to get thrown for a loop by your own ignorance.

 

Now I know you are just needling for responses.  Regarding the quality of Maurice Jones Drew: Certainly the tires got worn out before he left JVille, as stated, thanks to carrying the team on his back for much of his career post Fred.  He truly anchored JDR's offenses.

 

Cox was considered approaching elite in the peak of his Jags tenure, if I recall.  Not my view, but the consensus, then it went unfortunately awry, as stated.  You don't remember the praises heaped on Derek Cox? 

 

I consider Marks and Clemmons upgrades to Knighton and Mincey as well but I'm not so sure it's a 'universal' belief especially the DTs.  How did you discern that I didn't realize that?  Take heed in your inferences mate.  I said they were quality veterans who were not retained.  They are and weren't.  Plus, they could have brought in some the new vets in as additons, not replacements.  For instance, Marks + Knighton > Marks + Miller etc.  Signifying less overhaul (more continuity) and perhaps a better overall team.  Again, just purely speculation.

 

But as said, I have seen the light now mate.  We have to be blindly and inaudibly patient as we conduct this novel experiment with NO timeline.  It's a practical, realistic approach.  No questions should be asked, doubt should not creep in.  We are future bound.
