Just wait until Miami and Kansas City both get added to teams needing a new head coach. Going to be one hell of an interesting off-season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure all those picks to move up and get him was way to high a stretch but when he was given the starting job in the off season and all the OTA’s and training camp and then pre season games he actually looked very good but then sustained the injury and then the rest is history with Josh Purdy coming along (kinda like the Bledsoe-Brady situation)….I actually think Denver messed up not trading for him this season, but I do think when Cowboys move on from Prescott he’ll be very good for them… saying all this cause I think Adam Peters is kinda getting a bad raw deal when ppl are talking about Lance. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I actually thought the reach for Trey wasn't as big an unforced error as has been made out. I thought it was too much, but not outrageous at all. Not a "major obvious ****-up." Trey was a pretty tempting package of talent as I remember it and it seems that early injury (always possible with any player, especially at certain positions like QB) had a real impact on his deployment. I can see criticizing Kyle &co for the "unnecessary gamble" but not overdoing that criticism which I think has been the case. And if we're using hindsight as we are and commonly do, I suggest that hindsight shows Kyle was prescient in seeing Jimmy G. as not the best long term answer. And the idea that "all Jimmy G. did is win" back at the time and used as one very good reason to criticize the move doesn't hold up well. Boy, there just isn't anything as shaky as reaching as far as you can to grab that golden (or diamond) ring at QB.

They are not gonna wait to do so. I guess understand fan angst but RG3 and Chase Young will be the last thing on their minds. That has nothing to do with Adam Peters. I mean the Texans drafting David Carr 1 overall didn’t stop them from taking Shroud last year And the Lions whiffed on a number of high pick WRs before they tried again and drafted Calvin Johnson. You can't be scared based on the past, especially when it's a totally new group. All this trade back talk is nonsense, they should and will select the QB they like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't care regardless. Peters first draft in SF was Solomon Thomas and Rueben Foster in the first. Double miss. Yuck. Seattle has had some awful drafts even though John Schneider and his team are regarded by many as the best in the business. If we evaluate drafts and GMs based on the real world versus emotion then its clear as day that they all make awful picks. I can lampoon any of these guys for terribles misses. But that's not how it works. Here some of us decry a 4th round miss as unacceptable and awful. But statisitcally speaking, if I recall about 80% or so of 4th rounders are misses. Pulling three players out of a draft is considered by most a success. Meaning on an average good draft there are more misses than hits. The key is to get more hits on the aggregate than other teams. And Peters has pulled this off. Edited January 13 by Skinsinparadise 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of team are you building. For example, Ron and EB wanted to throw the ball 50 times a game, but you don’t have lineman to pass block 50 times a game. Where’s the pure space catching back. Where’s the YAC receiver and tight end. We have bruising downhill backs. But bruising backs need big man movers up front. Don’t have that either. Offensive cohesion was a mess. Can’t coach that, have to build it right first then scheme it up on Sundays. That’s what I’m hoping for between GM and coach… Edited January 13 by lovemaskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Capitals get the win over the Ranges. Would they have won if we hadn’t hired Peters? I’m not convinced. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the temp of the board and fellow Commanders fans would have felt if Lance was traded here, would he have been a guy to move forward with under center? I know all hypothetical thinking but still kinda funny to think about Edited January 13 by Command The 414 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) 14 minutes ago, seantaylor=god said: Not to mention some of his “hits” are all pro players, not just starters. Yep. All teams miss more than hit on their picks. It's part of the reason why the anayltics types like to trade down because you have a bigger shot to hit the dart board the more darts you throw. I can demonize and easily so any GM if I work with the fantasy that some have that good GMs rarely miss and most picks hit. Not only do good GMs miss but they pretty much all have some egg in your face in retrospect picks that look embarassing today. It comes with the turf. But yeah bringing this back to Peters he's killed it on some picks. Pro Bowl-All Pro players in the 5th round. I think we in good hands with Harris for multiple reasons. Among them based on what I've heard and he's insinuated, he wants his GMs to be aggressive and shoot for the fences. And is OK with misses as long as the process is sound. That's important. Among other reasons why Dan sucked from what I heard people were afraid of making mistakes working with him because he would hang those mistakes on those employees. 9 minutes ago, lovemaskins said: More than that, I believe orgs need a philosophy in general.

I was simply referencing that missing on draft picks is OK. But to your pont, yes SF has an identity. Baltimore has one. The Eagles have one. Rivera never had one, it swung from this to that. Spielman talked about it on Keim's podcast -- coach-GM cohesion. Edited January 13 by Skinsinparadise 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Wasn’t Trey Lance looked at as a bit of a project as well. They had Jimmy G there at the time and were going to bring Lance up behind Jimmy? Maybe my memory is fuzzy on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
