J-Rob needs to be in the clock!

That's the thing. We just couldn't afford to waste time in promoting an inexperienced DC to see if he can sink or swim. The defense was historically bad this past season and there's just no room for error in trying to fix this defense to keep up with our offense.

Hell, I'm not even sure if our offense can be sustainable with Art Smith gone.

The OC/DC hires took away all the fresh air we had, which took so long to get. Draft and FA needs to hurry up, because right now we have the vibe of a 6-10 type team.

 

Several teams in last years draft received very little help from their rookies. COVID was largely responsible for that.

I'm not sure how someone could be "overrated at best." Seems like an oxymoron.

I'm also not sure how J-Rob can be in the clock. Reminds me Zoolander.

No, it's really not. That's why the Browns, Bengals, Jets, Dolphins, Jags, etc. bask in constant suckitude, occasionally pushing their way up to the level of mediocrity before crashing back down again.

J-Rob's teams have yet to have a losing season. He found the best QB this franchise has seen since McNair, and he got him off the scrap heap. And we've made the playoffs in 3 of his 5 seasons. Considering the turd burger he took over, I'd say he's done a pretty amazing job.

He deserved criticism for 2020 for sure. But let's not forget that he assembled 90% of the players on the playoff teams we've seen under his tenure. This team was literally in shambles when he took over, with only about 3-4 starters who would have been starters somewhere else.

 

That 2019 class looks like a monster at this point. At least 2 high end starters, with Hooker and Long looking like solid regulars. What's more impressive is that he seems to have hit on every single pick in that draft. That literally never happens.

 

The draft class may not be as bad as it looks in a couple of years. I still think injury had a lot to do with second and third round picks. Fulton I think will be a solid starter and Evans we just did not get to see enough off. Now first round pick was awful and we threw away a pick on the qb from Hawaii.

The biggest miss was not the draft it was missing in free agency with Clowney ( most of us wanted him it just did not work out). And the total whiff on Vic Beasley. 21 to 22 million dollar error.

Say what anyone wants, but J-Rob is still the best GM we have had since the team moved to tennessee! But he really needs to do better in this draft and in free agency.

 

The only blame that I place on JROB is that he did not draft an edge rusher last yr because even if Clowney and Beasley did work out they were only on 1 yr deals which would put us needing to be hunting for edge rushers again.

 

so tell me, what kinda of clock should he be in?....

Grandfather? Swatch? AM/FM Radio Clock? Bell Tower?

 

not trying to defend jrob, just genuinely curious, which edge rusher would you have wanted?

 

Yes I can name a team...... '12 49ers

1 WR A.J. Jenkins, 2 RB LaMichael James, 4 OG Joe Looney
5 LB Darius Fleming, 6 DB Trent Robinson 6 OT Jason Slowey 7 LB Cam Johnson

 

I liked Alex Highsmith who the Steelers took with their 3rd rnd comp pick....the draft class last yr was lacking in top end talent besides Chase Young, but I felt it was fairly deep.
