Quote:That's because people are thinking of the Ivory move in terms of hindsight. 

 

At the time of the contract the jaguars had extra money to spend and had a hole at RB. The jaguars, even after signing Ivory, had plenty of extra money to spend. The jaguars took extra money they had and invested it in something they thought would help the team.

 

That is the exact same thing the browns did.

Who is that up in arms over Ivory? 

 

Certainly not myself,  the Jags took a shot...if Ivory doesn't work out you cut him....no different from Beadles//Any signing considered a bust. 

 

Just because you have extra space doesn't mean you can't call a bust signing a bust.  Will it cause some long lasting effect that will spiral us down...no because we have the space but a bust signing is a bust signing.

 

What makes the Ivory signing any worse/better than the Texans Osweiler signing? 

 

Both can be seen as bad since they didn't live up to the billing...but are you trying to imply that Ivory isn't because Jags had the money anyways?
