Detailed Midseason Breakdown of Dave Caldwell's Major Moves

#24

Quote:I should have stated that differently.  Not re-signing Daryl was  technically a mistake in my opinion - but i  totally get why they didn't bring him back. 

 

The point is - I don't think Geno was meant to be a "new Daryl"  - just someone to fill a role until they can draft the LB's of the future.   They didn't want to gamble on Daryl's health and age - and can forgive that despite them actually losing that gamble this season.  It was a calculated risk and I'm sure Caldwell has kicked himself a bit on that one. 

 

When the new regime is thinking longterm and crafting the roster with 2015 and beyond in mind - it's easy to see why they didn't bring him back.  Still  - it sucks to see him doing well elsewhere while our OLBs struggle to stop the run.  

 

(I have a feeling we are more in agreement on this than has been apparent so far...)
Yeah I would say based off this we are basically in agreement, just looking at it from different perspectives as it were. We both agree that Daryl was a gamble coming into this season, I just feel like it was a gamble worth taking, and you understand exactly why they didn't take the chance on him. The only thing that bugs me is how cheaply we could have had him. It was like a risk free trial of Daryl Smith haha. But yeah I can see from your point too why Dave didn't want to take him.
