That's our damn Super Bowl. I get the feeling he’s not that kind of guy. Doesn’t seem the bitter, grudge holding type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkelly02 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I get we had to move on from Mayock but idk why the board/fan base has to turn nasty towards him. He made some big mistakes sure but he was a member of this franchise. 2 years ago I said Mayock should be on the hot seat (but said I still support him) and was told I don’t know what I’m talking about. I broke down in detail all of The wasted draft capital (blown picks, cost of not trading down when there were trades available, etc), as well As the wasted salary cap space. Funny how everyone jumps On board 6 months ago. There’s no need to bad mouth the guy tho, that’s pretty low class especially because Mayock has always acted professionally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totty Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Zero ill will towards MM. I feel he honestly did the best he could given his lack of experience. Good luck in the future, Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayock deserves the criticism, his horrific free agent signings and wasted draft picks have been the difference in terms of us being a contending team vs a fringe playoff team.

You calling people low class is a bit rich, but go off. This team had 13 picks in the top 100. They were completely negligent with them. They never looked to trade up early and get the right guy. They reached consistently. GMs are going to miss, it happens. Judge them by their ability to learn from the mistakes. Mayock consistently botched the early stages of the draft and kept reaching. He had some good spots, but overall you cannot miss on top 100 picks and expect to build a championship roster and keep your job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gru had a substantial grip on control in all the picks. Not to say he doesn't deserve blame. But to hate on a guy who was hired for a position he wasn't qualified is very similar to blaming a bust on where they were drafted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Too many bad picks early. Specifically Ferrell, Arnette, Muse, Bowden. Then in FA guys like Kwit, and Littleton, not to mention AB and Trent who were obviously talented but low character that ended up burning us.

I don't hate Mayock to be clear. He made the best of a bad situation working for a emotional guy like Gruden. Moves the AB trade were all Gruden. I think Mayock is a good talent evaluator, but lousy manager. In other words, he will too easily to succumb to pressures from assistant coaches. Take the Leatherwood pick where he repeatedly kept saying, he was Cable's favorite player in the draft.... I really don't care what Tom Cable thinks. Why do you? Get the players that help the team. Don't reach on some pet project for your positional coaches. End of the day, the Mack trade was a complete bust. They got nothing to show for it and the team is no better off than when McKenzie/Del Rio's hand came off it in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jraider91 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If we get Dodds (suspect Bears would be more attractive, can dominate that division after Rodgers leaves) then we'd keep Carr. Indy really wanted him before Wince didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
