Yet, here we are. Fans should be fans and executives should be executives. Lol. Do you know how hard I fought for DHB (Hayward Bey) at the the time leading up to the draft? Arron Maybin was another one who I thought would be a pillar to any defense. Another one was the Nick Farley paired with Suh. I thought that was going to be a DANGEROUS combo. Dontario(sp?) Poe was another who I thought was going to be the next Ngata. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought that Jake Locker was going to be the right handed Steve Young, and I cursed the Texans for passing on Prince Amukamara for JJ Watt... So, yeah. Fans aren't the best barometer on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love these millennials who think years of using the Franchise mode of Madden has equipped them with the necessary skills to run a NFL Team. 🤷♂️ God to be young and dumb again.

CP3MVP Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just because adam Gase is the 32nd ranked HC doesn’t mean youre the 33rd. The worst HC/GM still is significantly more qualified than the average fan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be very smart to know that you don't trade Hopkins for David freaking Johnson and a 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s alright when the Packers switched to a 3-4 and took BJ Raji I was ecstatic then they traded up to grab their OLB (I assumed at least) and I thought for sure it was Everette Brown! Low and behold? It was Clay Matthews, definitely threw my remote at the TV screaming wtf are you doing. 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, um ...that didn't happen. Edit: Holy moly, I just found out Brace died in 2016. Heart attack at 29. Wow, that's really sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to Denver back when Denver was the RB capital of the world!? I was SO wrong on that one. Knowshon Moreno! He also bombed out in Denver! Man, I really don't know anything! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Argument: Fans do run the league. Almost every team's owner was a fan of the franchise before they bought or inherited the team. Arthur Blank is the best example of this in ATlanta. He used to sit at games with my grandfather in the 70s while he was working in corporate America before he founded home depot.
