MistaBohmbastic Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 At the end of the day, we wouldn't be where we are without the events that ensued. And for that, I have no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I will never forget that Joe Banner took Leon McFadden 1 pick ahead of Tyrann Matheiu in the 3rd round of that draft. The biggest "your overthinking it" moment I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Gilber trade over Khalil Mack was pretty terrible Julio Jones trade down too David Veikune over Rey Maualuga was horrific so much pain....

Yep, passing on Mack hurt but I remember that despite his talents there was still questions about him coming out of the draft in terms of the level of competition he faced at Buffalo. I actually laughed at my Raiders friend when they took him and thought it was a bad pick lol whooooopsss Julio was more understandable because they did get a big haul for all of those trade downs. Bad part is none of them amounted to anything. So hindsight was 20/20 with that one. It was after those 2-3 drafts that I begun hating trading down. Your at the top of the draft for a reason, stay there and take a blue chip cornerstone instead of a handful of mid-late 1st and 2nd rounders.

Remember he had a deal set up to trade Gordon to the 9ers that he want allowed to execute. Just like in the article, he didnt like Manziels personal back ground. He prolly didnt like Matheiu personal background either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That no matter the guy lined up across of him, he was going to smoke them. Now if Decker ( I believe thats who the LT was in that game) stone walled him every chance, then I would have questioned that Mack is just a big fish in a small pond of the MAC.

Kiwibrown Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Joe Banner had a diplomacy score of 0. He wasnt cut out to be a gm. He managed to piss off the coaches and the owners in space of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I’d allow this team to die a thousand deaths if it meant getting Baker Mayfield again and having our 2019 outlook moving forward. We have an upward trajectory unlike anyone else in the division. Thanks Sashi for your martyrdom and the misfit predecessors for their failures.

sdrawkcab321 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Banner was a grouchy troll who embarrassed us in coaching search interviews. He deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
