[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 564201"] I don't expend the emotion of hating on "average". I'm sensible enough to know the situation could be worse. Who are ALL of the better ones? I could not say...but what I see is an average roster outside the QB position and that should be sufficient. Speaking of self-contradictions you and Brandt have something in common. In your case it was the matter of being done with that bit of discussion about need vs. value while directing interested parties to another thread to continue that self-same discussion. Why not take your own advice? On the more current matter at hand, you said we won't agree. On that we do agree. On second thought, Brandt may not have been self-contradicting; it might have been a case of being wiser than Thompson which then makes Thompson's decision a matter of luck that nobody made that phone call. Thompson could have turned his practice of accumulating a little edge here and a little edge there in trying to get an extra pick into a missed opportunity with decade-long consequences. He gets credit for having QB on the needs list in any case while seeing a first round value, but not enough value evidently to not have traded it away. Do we really want to go with the "national media" argument or polls? Newsome wouldn't get anywhere near those #1 votes today because the team got old, the D got dismantled, and they're just not very good in the wake. Winning the SB forced his owner to give the QB the kind of franchise contract he probably does not deserve. That's not to say Newsome isn't one of the top guys, just that the people who vote on this stuff are not necessarily well informed and are fickle in their opinions. Others might not want to waste the time to think about the matter when asked and vote the most recent winner and fill out the card with the guys he usually votes for. It's delusional to think any GM has a studied assessment of every other in the league. [/QUOTE]
