A cap expert gives a little analysis on our RBs among other things (via Person)

[RoaringRiot]

the problem is that G-man erroneously thought that Bell could replace him, or at least be an OK bridge. We all see how that is panning out.

No...he just didn't see any of the FAs that were commanding big contracts as huge upgrades so he didn't force the situation by giving an average player a big contract to add to the cap problem.

[Mr. Scot]

No real evidence refuting it either. Just a man saying that he is enjoying his retirement after the fact, and that he has no regrets and made the right decision.

But, that's neither here nor there. He is gone now, and the problem is that G-man erroneously thought that Bell could replace him, or at least be an OK bridge. We all see how that is panning out.

Gross's own words in his retirement presser don't count?

Not to people with an agenda.

Not to people with an agenda.

True.

FYI: I'm gonna research Bowles' past coaching associates and get back to ya.

[WOW!!]

Didn't Gross say he didn't like DG at first or at all during the contract negotiations. .

[WOW!!]

Also if we are going to give DG credit for all his gambles working last year.. He should take blame for none of them working this year.

Jordan's exact words...

 

(after thanking Marty Hurney for drafting him) "Dave Gettleman too.  Appreciate that.  I think you're doin' a great job, man.  I didn't like you very much last offseason but (laughter) I got over that."

 

He also stated that he wanted to retire at a time when he felt the team was "in good hands" and stated that now was that time.

 

(the video is still available on the team website if you wanna check it)

Jordan Gross did NOT refute what I am speculating during the presser.  

 

Some people do have an agenda.

"Speculating"

[top dawg]

"Speculating"

 

Yes, I am speculating that he would have finished out his contract had Gettleman left him alone during the 2013 offseason---the time when he wasn't liking Gettleman. And?

And you're speculating. That's fun.

Yes. Kinda like Gettleman and Rivera about Bell...
