[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 963709, member: 10086"] While I might disagree with several general points, it’s in the past and basically irrelevant in defending the past. As far as your question as to Roster moves. The bad. We lost an elite WR and a deep threat (although I believe MVS had hit a plateau in GB). Yet the only argument someone can legitimately make is we are weaker at WR as a whole. Although my contention is I don’t think it’s nearly as catastrophic as folks are projecting. No you don’t ever want to lose any great player, but $30M/yr for anyone outside of QB is preposterous. Particularly when you can use that to bring back 4-5 key veterans that would’ve otherwise been sent packing. That and a #22 and #53 draft selection bonus. So we used #22 for one of the best Defenders on the FBS Championship Defense (LB, Quay Walker) I had us taking Wyatt at #22, so getting 2 top Georgia players is massive. I don’t think we expected Wyatt to make it to #28 and we desperately needed a WR, but choosing D. Wyatt over a WR took intestinal fortitude by our GM. It speaks volumes as to Wyatts worth and the mental strength of Brian in the face of scrutiny. Then we doubled down and got aggressive with our bonus and nailed a guy we might’ve otherwise taken at #28, WR Christian Watson. As far a FA. We picked up a highly motivated Sammy Watkins, who btw was reportedly training intensely this week with his old teammate and trainer, squatting 450lbs and since added 5+lb muscle. Word on the street is he wants to be “College Sammy” dominant. It’s my opinion he’s all in and this is a contract year mixed with a career year and he 100% knows it. He has an MVP QB but this time, no Tyreek Hill type player overshadowing. Its the perfect storm and I think he’ll surprise us. It wouldn’t shock me to see him finish in that (70rec-900+) Then we drafted 3 more OL and 3 total WR that I had inside that top college 25 at their position from all of Collegiate level. We have above average versatility and big draft capital spent on OL, so no need for “Trench concerns”. Someone will rise like leaven on OL and DL is arguably a very deep room with lots of options. DL got Reed from Seattle who’s Mr interior consistent, so we definitely won’t be getting pushed around in the trenches anymore. In finality, the ingredient that makes it all combust is Aaron Rodgers in Matt’s system for 3 seasons. As hard as I am on Rodgers, as our QB, #12 has proven very formidable navigating this MLF ship and it’s possible he hadn’t even peaked yet. Switching out his best fighter pilot (Davante) will not change the ultimate dynamics and effectiveness of an entire Battleship, she’s a beaut and she’s fully armed and capable of hitting you on the ground, at Sea or in the Skies [/QUOTE]
