Was I aware the cute nurse worked there when the evening began?
You call waiting until the 6th round after counting on Drew Bledsoe, being rewarded for being atrocious, lucking into another franchise putting a stud in his prime on the market, waiting until the 3rd after backing the money truck up for Matt Flynn, and being the franchise to mistakenly ditch a stud in his prime bold moves? Aaron Rodgers was brilliant.
What looks like a tidy narrative made with cunning moves after the fact often is anything but while the story is still being spun.
Ted Johnson has commente on this a bunch. Tom Brady started out as fourth on the depth chart. He beat guys out to move to number two. Yes, it is pretty bold to draft a sixth round guy that is looking like cut bait maybe practice squad maybe out of the league and then to see enough in him to move him into the back up role over two other guys. Meanwhile we have a fourth rd guy that is looking like an inactive on gameday guy for two straight years. You can call it luck but there was some bold moves and some actual placement to be next in line involved there.
Colts could have taken leaf.
The bold move with Wilson was actually. Starting him.
Trading for rivers to be your guy was a bold move. And then starting him even though Brees was coming off of injury.
Picking up Bree's for the saints and naming him the guy.
taming Rodgers in the first round meant he'd be your guy. Taking him and then when the time was right getting rid of your hall of famer to then start said rookie is a bold move.
Having two qb's neither of whom are being put in the position to be the guy even if they win the job in camp is not bold. It's non committal.
Titans or jags may end up finding a franchise guy before we do since apparently they're ok with grabbing a guy deemed to be the guy, devoting resources to them and then cutting bait when it doesn't work out. They aren't fiddling around with 4th rounders they're semi commited to and hoyer.
Bold would have been naming mallett the guy, letting savage be your number two. Not piddling around with hoyers of the world.
I'm not even saying hoyer won't do the Texans good this year or mallett won't emerge as the guy. But again, anybody can throw a bunch of **** at a fence like a monkey and hope that a piece sticks.
This is an nfl head coach. Please use that expertise and decipher who is best for the lead dog role. Choose them and devote all your resources into them to get them where they need to be.
bob needs to be better than us. Make a choice. Make the right choice. So far it's looking like two years we are going with the murky approach at qb. That's no Bueno.
