Guess even the "bumbling idiots" can get something right occasionally? Bruce Allen is good at managing the cap. But he did that by letting a lot of our home grown talent walk out the door.

But he did that by letting a lot of our home grown talent walk out the door. I keep hearing this. I want to know who the homegrown talent are? Breeland? Murphy? Long? Is anyone really losing sleep over these players? I will not defend the way that "Brice" (@Woz) handled the Kirk Cousins situation, but beyond that I can forgive everything else that has happened. I am already over losing Kendall Fuller. What happens if he regressed back to the point of his rookie deal? We sold high on Fuller. I can't really complain since it puts us in a better position to win games than we were in. Scott M. was an interesting situation that we will never fully understand, but its in the past as well. The RG3 trade (as much as I want to pin it on Bruce Allen, probably came from Dan Snyder) set us back significantly and we have clawed back into the realm of relativity. I think Bruce deserves some credit for that. I am in the minority, but I don't think Bruce Allen is the worst GM in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I can think of the two situations that people get hung up on separately. 8 minutes ago, MikeT14 said: If he's not, he's sitting at the same lunch table as the guy who is. Fair enough lol.

Is anyone really losing sleep over these players? Hard to answer because we don't know who is replacing any of them. I don't think losing Breeland & Fuller in the same offseason was ideal. I was fully expending to lose Breeland, losing Fuller was out of no where. OLB is looking pretty thin. If Ryan Kerrigan gets injured our OLB core starts looking REALLY bad. I fully expected us to lose Spencer Long as well. As of right now we have no starting LG on the roster, and our interior depth is pretty awful. 23 minutes ago, Slappy Mc said: We sold high on Fuller. For a 34 year old QB with 2 playoff wins? Come on man. We could be looking back at this as the Champ Bailey deal 2.0. Not that I'm saying Fuller will be a future HOFer like Bailey, but because WE were the ones that threw in a 3rd instead of the Chiefs. 24 minutes ago, Slappy Mc said: The RG3 trade (as much as I want to pin it on Bruce Allen, probably came from Dan Snyder) set us back significantly and we have clawed back into the realm of relativity. Probably a lot of that on Snyder yes. 24 minutes ago, Slappy Mc said: I am in the minority, but I don't think Bruce Allen is the worst GM in football. That doesn't mean he's taking this franchise in the right direction. He does a good job of making Dan Snyder money, that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their O battled injuries all year long. Yanda missed most of the season, Flaccew had the back injury in training camp, Maclin missed a month, Perriman dealt with a concussion, their Kenneth Dixon tore his ACL and Terrance West battled injuries but they lucked out and found Collins ok the waiver wire. Urban got hurt on D, Brandon Williams missed some games with injury and so did Jimmy Smith with a torn AChillies in week 12. Is the prevailing opinion of our forum that injuries are the result of bad luck or should we all be looking at the science that demonstrates peak conditioning has an inverse correlation to injuries. And if so is dumbo going to change his easy lazy summer spa like camps or double down completely eliminating practices with pads, shells or with high intensity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Any word on the big NT that visited? i think we aren’t doing anything particularly good or bad in free agency. Yes we lost a lot of depth or maybe we didn’t with Breeland and grant having voided offer sheet and we are getting comp picks instead of over paying but we need a NT and it’s ok to overpay to solve this almost decade old problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time a team traded a "promising" CB for a Pro Bowl QB AND a 3rd round pick? In what world does a slot CB rank more than a QB? The fact that we were able to get Alex Smith for Fuller and a 3rd (when there were better options on the table) is a testament to the fact that we sold high.

Phillip Daniels said so, and he was on 2 or 3 other teams before signing in dc. The perfect example was Carlos Rodgers who couldn’t catch ints in dc. He went to San Fran, they found out he had vision issues there and got him contacts. So he had 6 ints in his first year there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
