I haven't really taken sides here but I think pointing out using the word narcissist as name calling multiple times is pretty weak. We're just BSing about random *** football stuff. Nothing wrong with thinking you're right about or anything but That's a pretty soft insult when it comes to the internet and even this site. Just sounds like begging the mods for warnings which is no good for anyone.

Dude, neither one of these guys ever played safety regularly for the Packers.

They even tried out Rollins at ILB cause he was so bad everywhere else, including safety.

But as I said, this is just gonna keep going in circles, so ill drop it.

He never sniffed the linebacker room in GB.

No, you're missing the point.

My point is that neither Rollins nor Randall showed anything to justify not resigning Hayward, even if we only viewed him as a slot at the time.  

Then people tried to defend it because that's what we do as fans.

I simply used how Rollins sucked at every position the Packers tried him at as further evidence of us not resigning Hayward being a stupid move.  

I hated the selections of Randall and Rollins.  And even I have to say that as rookies, they performed well.  Well enough to think that they both had a future in the league.  It surely didn't play out that way, but their play as rookies was certainly why Hayward was not re-signed.

Add in Sam Shields with year left and we had a solid 3 CB's...on paper.

And I was fine with losing Hayward, until I saw the contract for him.  Then it stung.

I love how @Packerraymond doesn't even care anymore. He's just letting the inmates out of their cells to run the asylum on these threads. @CWood21 still pops in once in while with the ol' college try "hey, let's walk away from the keyboard for a while." Lol. Great stuff. 

At this rate, we might have to put you in charge Norm. Then all hell is breaking loose.

That’s all of FF right now, not just Ray and Cwood.

You can say anything right now as long as you cite Covid.

You guys are funny. I just have a puppy right now and am looking for a new job so I was hoping you'd all be on your best behavior while I'm buried. No cookies or stickers for any of you.

I man who's got his priorities straight: doing right by his dog, his job (and by extension....) his new wife 👍

Going into full "husband" mode now.  Seen it a thousand times.  First you get married.  Then you talk about kids, and settle on getting a dog, "for now".  You'll have a baby @Packerraymond in 3-4 years, tops.  Just don't forget about your furr-baby along the way.

It is how these things go.

Right? I said it playfully at first. I mean the issue here is obvious:

@Ragnarok must believe the GB front office are stupid for letting Hayward walk if it was clear that Randall and Rollins would bust after year 1. That must be true to support his stance: that he knew better than they did in 2016.

OR

It might be the case his ego is in the way and he is obviously using hindsight to justify a stance he feels strongly connected to now and will die on a hill defending it. And the actual reality is that (and everyone agrees) Randall and Rollins are busts, but after year one it appeared they were not. 

Nobody is saying it was ultimately the right decision to let Hayward walk and keep them. Literally nobody believes that. But it's also obvious that the front office is composed of very smart people who determined that Randall and Rollins based on year one were unlikely to bust.

They were wrong, but anyone who thinks that calculation was wrong in 2016 is full of both themselves and scchit.
