GoDeep81 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If the OP added a few more lines, explaining how the Skins started to tank right around this same time, this single thread could probably rid ES of about half it's members.. We'd be lined up at the ledge taking turns jumping off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Okay, now do one about talent vs "heart" Great thread and op  I'm going to do one the theories behind Jay Gruden's offense. This is an offense that wants to:  1. Establish the run 2. Protect the quarterback, and 3. Distribute the ball to playmakers while 4. Limiting turnovers  I bet I can get 16 pages on that.

Boss_Hogg Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 But the odds are good that no team is totally going to misjudge the assets in a trade the way the Vikings did. Â The end. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 That was a great OP. Â Funny and informative. Â Kudos. Â As an aside on the whole Casserly - Saints trade: Honestly, Casserly has proved over the years to be a bit of an idiot. Â He really did absolutely nothing here, especially with Norv, and then he went on to do nothing productive with the Texans. I think that in a different era of social media and sports talk radio, he might have been compared to Vinny in a lot of ways. Â The fact that he got a treasure and then used the vast majority of it to trade up 5 sports to get Bailey was suspect. Â He said that was the guy they wanted all along, so they got him and everything else was bonus. Â Uh.... Â I love Champ. Â And he is a HOF player. Â But honestly, he should have just used every one of those picks he could have. Â Â The saddest move was trading picks to move up and draft Freaking Lavar dumb-as-rocks Arrington. Â What a complete waste of draft picks. Â And he's such a complete waste of space. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Most of the trades that really stand out as bad to me since 1999 were under Gibbs. Â TJ Ducket, Mark Brunell and Clinton Portis. Â Not because I didn't like the trades for Brunnell and Portis, but they gave up WAY too much. Â Portis for Bailey, straight up. Â No problem. Â Brunnell for a 4th or 5th? Â Ok. Â But they parted with too much, and were on the wrong end of the deal both times. Â The Ducket trade was just stupidity. Â The (Damn, I'm going to forget his name, the DE from Miami who was on Dancing with the Stars) was also an epically stupid move by bug-eyes. Â I think more of the stupidity was with FA signings than trades. Â The entire 1999 class of 1992 pro-bowlers come to mind, and was topped off by the worst FA signing in the history of the league with AH. Â Throw in an Adam Archuletta for spice, and you've just got complete stupidity. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
