Defense Rebuild: Defensive Backs

Except we aren't privy to contract negotiations, so you're just making wild assumptions based off of zero information. We also had to re-sign RT and Henry. He did miss the boat by not offering Conklin that 5th year, but I suppose he was worried he would end the season on IR again which would have guaranteed his 5th year option.

 

Wilson certainly isn't encouraging, but it's a little early to give up on him.

 

If it makes you feel superior, sure

If they don't I expect the same from you

 

Has nothing to do with superiority. Lol it’s the entire basis of the argument you’re trying to make!

I certainly will, if they don’t sign big deals elsewhere.

 

I didn't realize Jonnu was part of that.

What bothers me is, yes from that trade we ended up with Conklin, Davis, Johnson and Henry. Johnson was a miss and we lost Conklin to FA and could lose Davis, so our 2 1st rounders that should be core guys aren't on the team (assuming Davis leaves)

Could lose Jonnu as well...1st and 2nd rounders should be contributing enough and an effort made to keep them for a 2nd contract

Big hit with Henry but don't forget Kevin Dodd was in there...the 2nd round that year isn't looking good.

 

From memory that kings ransom was JRobs first full season as GM, and he had the old scout team in place that he inherited.

Obvs, cant give him credit for Henry etc but then cut him slack for Johnson and Dodd, but worth mentioning.

 

I don't think I've seen more than 1 person even say we shouldn't re-sign him.
I think even despite last season, more of this board is pro re-signing him than cutting him.

Edit: And there's an entire thread dedicated to Byard's bad play.

 

Huh... I always read the big thoughts on Conklin were he was solid, not almost elite.

 

Kelly was also a factor.

Agree with the cost points thrown out there. To sign Conklin, we wouldn't have even had a shot at signing some FA pass rushers. Unfortunately, we didn't sign Conklin or any pass rushers, we just got Beasley and Clowney.

 

and I did. and you couldn’t take it. And my position has been that JRob is NOT a top GM like you keep defending. It’s been that simple. But we can disagree. No need to twist statements to suit your position or resort to insults.

Agree with what you're saying. But just to state the obvious that some find difficult to acknowledge- that's a GM decision that turned out bad, a GM decision that turned out bad and a GM decision that turned out bad.
