I love Ted Thompson and he's done way more good than harm but that one rankled me. TJ Watt was obvious, his DNA unchangeable and his work ethic through the roof. Take the best player and get the quarterback before he even throws it.
2 sacks with the first stringers. Ugh.
A little early for a game over post, isn't it?
Disagreeing with one pick is game over now?
I disagreed that day!
You want to rub my face in Crow dung when King gets ROY and Watt's riding the pine I'll be right here, dudesicle.
So, you are not freaking out? I don't know. Your reply is really defensive. Not interested in rubbing your face in anything.
I guess I lost you at "game over post." I disagreed with trading down at the time and still do. Only thing that could happen from here is I'm right or I'm wrong, which like you say, we won't know for a long time. That ain't calling game over. Neither is recognizing 2 preseason plays.
Not freaking out. Pick 29 was a big moment for the franchise, one that every sportswriter, pundit and dinkwad in the country is going to remember for years to come. Surely you see that.
Chili's right: it was a need pick on account of Shields. I get that. At the same time, I don't want to hear that TT is a "best player available" GM. He obviously isn't.
It also doesn't help TT's cause any that there was a need at CB to begin with. Randall or Rollins (1st and 2nd rounders) were supposed to fill that need, and after last year they weren't exactly looking the part. Not really fair but that's on the GM too.
Tough job GM. Not saying I could do better overall. I just really wanted Watt and don't trust Matthews off HGH (*kaboom*).
