G Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Brandon Marshall didn’t get a call? Maybe he turned us down because we cut him. Looks like we will need a LB free D soon...Any big safeties out there to convert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Not surprised Grant got cut. The writing was on the wall when he wasn't active on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is how short a leash he was on.... why bring him on the roster to start with? Just head scratching moves by this group. He went from a starter to cut in 3 weeks? Feels a little rash given you pegged him as a starter. I get he had a bad game (and isn't that good) but feels like an emotional move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again AB being on the team would have pushed everyone down the depth chart putting Grant at 3rd at the highest. Of course Nelson and Renfro are similar to Grant already so going younger might be the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was competing with Renfrow for playing time in the slot. With Davis added to handle the returning duties and the way he played when given the opportunity, he's the logical cut.

This team will only succeed going forward if Gruden gives up all personnel decisions to Mayock and brings in a young, talented OC to call plays. Gruden's ego and relationships with coaches that were successful 5-10 years ago is killing us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is not the only problem but I have been saying for a while now that Gruden's ego is a huge issue. As soon as he was unwilling to talk to Pagano and Mack I knew there where going to be issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Let's assume we get rid of Carr and need a new QB. I do not see us drafting one very high. Gruden likes vets and there will be a lot of QBs on the market next year. Which one do you think he goes after. I am not saying this is the right move but could easily see it happening since Gruden loves vets and Gruden will be in year 6 or 7 most likely before the drafted QB starts to play well enough for us to start thinking playoffs. Teddy Bridgewater Jameis Winston Marcus Mariota Case Keenum Nate Sudfeld A.J. McCarron Paxton Lynch Trevor Siemian Ryan Tannehill Mike Glennon Brett Hundley Blake Bortles Sean Mannion Cody Kessler Nathan Peterman Luke Falk Taysom Hill Nick Mullens I could see him taking a chance on any of the bolded players.

In reality, Gruden needs to adapt to the time or this franchise will be stuck in 1992 or whatever he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Gruden has no direction for this team. Thems just facts. You trade away good players, to "rebuild" then trade for AB a legit crazy person and think sticking him on a rebuilding team will work? His next act will be swapping out the QB trying to find lightning in a bottle. That's coming in 2020, count on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
