You can’t go around saying you want high character guys with Incognito and Burfict on your roster. This is your problem. Stop listening to what the coaches and front office are saying in the media. This league is built on deceit. You put all your cards on the table you are asking to be eaten alive week in and week out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what’s going up stairs Sensitive Raider fans lol... I’m talking about football not life.... it’s an accomplishment for a player to play in the league 8 years until the age of 30. Even more rare to play at peak level well into your 30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear your point (as well as @NightTrainLane's) but feel like the approach is a bit....counter-intuitive to be polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfrey13 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I am all for signing guys with some character deficiencies that can play but Incognito has a little Barret Robbins and Romanowski in him. Hopefully the right mixture will give us Wiz 1.0. Might be a little be a little volatile with Burufict. They could also be exactly what the team needs and I am wrong. With the new personalities we have the makings of a good football movie. We need to be on Hard Knocks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if our LB's are learning from Burfict how to QB Guenther's defense it's a good thing without being the head case he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about weighing the risk vs the reward and balancing what you want vs what you need. Sure, it would be great if we could have gotten a MLB and a OG that are starting caliber and totally fit the character and foundation the team is trying to lay out for the future but it's not a perfect world. Holding the front office to the everything they say in a complete manner is a fools errand, in the sense that, no one logically speaks in absolutes (enter Sith joke here). We all know the issues these guys have. I have made it clear how I feel about VB and I think Ritchie is similar in line stepping behavior. But they are being held to a high standard and it has been made very clear, through what they have been told and the deals they have signed, that if they become a problem then they are gone and made an example of what happens when you don't meet expectations set out for you. If they succeed, it was a worth while gamble and shows that the team is serious about winning. If they weren't they'd just roll with Good and our young LBs. Can't fault the logic here even if I don't like the package it's delivered in. Edited May 29, 2019 by NightTrainLane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver&Black88 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @NightTrainLane I see it very similarly. I just don’t think the risk outweighs the reward. Do I think the young guys will suddenly become corrupted from being around these clowns? No. Do I think this will absolutely blow up in our faces? Not necessarily. Do I think the potential reward of a Starting OG and MLB is worth sending mixed signals and effectively compromising your leadership’s integrity in an almost completely new locker room? Nope. I know I’m being a negative Nancy but I think we had a chance to get away from the two faced perception that Gruden cultivated in our own locker room last year. Sending mixed signals like this for the poster boy of idiots who at most is going to be serviceable and has no future at this age just isn’t worth it to me. @raidr4life I think this covers my reply to you as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
