Effort

[KillerKat]

I don't normally make threads, but with all the negativity out there I think it's time to bring in some perspective. Yeah there are moves this team has made that  many posters don't like. You may not have liked who we traded for, signed, got rid of, etc. There are some who are disgruntled because of the way the whole Watson situation ended up. In which case I can only say get over it.

However there is one thing you can not deny this staff in doing and that is their effort in trying to put together the best overall team they can. They've added players with potential, improved in areas, added depth. You might not have liked it, but at least they are trying. Unlike our previous regime who were dead set in their ways, kept around their favorite players, didn't start the best players on the field due to favoritism. Not only that, but our current staff actually makes changes to game planning and philosophy as well instead of sticking to the same old failed plan time and time again. 

So if you don't like the moves that have been made, at least look at the effort and how it is much better than what we had before.

Are you trying to give a participation trophy to an NFL team?

[run-run-pass-punt]

Absolutely.

There is a very clear hunger to see with this regime. They *want* to win, and they're aggressively pursuing all options.

I'm excited *because* of their obvious passion!

Didn't even know someone's reputation could be in the negatives

Yeah if you see a negative number just ignore that poster. They are usually trolls...

Actually, the moves they have made are pretty impressive--these are unusual times.  The Darnold move may not pay off, but to get a developmental, 23 year old QB with NFL experience and not have to use your first rounder drafting a 21 year old developmental QB with NO NFL experience was brilliant.  Now we get the QB AND the LT.  The players we have signed on the bottom end are low risk, high reward players.  Erv and Elf on the OL, the biggest head scratchers to me, can play every position on the OL. 

So I will reserve judgement, but Marty's answer was to re-sign  what you know (he used to brag that 3 of his draft picks were the highest paid at their respective positions---because HE PAID THEM) and throw scrubs at some spots like RT, RG, DT, CB, etc. while he tried to figure it out.

I will take this---it seems like the second year of the three year turnaround.

Your participation trophy is a giant bowl of poo. You seem to enjoy it.

We didnt win that game, Ron lost it. I'm still convinced he was trying to tank to get a better QB. He was just out sucked by Pederson.
