[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 877004, member: 10086"] It’s a gamble we won’t know was a terrible move or a brilliant one for several years at minimum and likely it’ll take 4 seasons. This year? That’s surprisingly a little short sighted from someone intelligent like yourself. While I would’ve also been excited to get a WR or LB.. There’s 53+ ways to improve a team each year. To really be accurate, we have to include the impact from all the coaches and FO so it’s more like 75 ways to improve. Overdrafting at WR or LB in the draft if we felt that #30 was too high a selection after the top players were off our draft board could’ve proved just as questionable a move. We have to also remember that the draft is not the only way to get personnel. There’s hundreds of trades and deals working behind the scenes that involve veteran help every season. I would argue that 1 established veteran starter has a statistical advantage over 1 late day 1 draft selection. We don’t even know if Gute is finished adding to the roster. Don’t think for a second that he’s passively sitting by and sleeping on this season. I’m near positive that There’s other FA players and team trade deals that are being explored both as a plan A or plan B scenarios. If there was ever a GM that has shown he is fully committed to being “aggressive” or “thinking outside the box” it’s Brian G. It’s really important for a GM to adapt a “Best Practices” approach, but the best GM’s in history have been the ones who don’t stand content, but rather they stand firm in their conviction, even at the expense of unpopular public opinion. I support this QB move not because I know something anymore than you do about players’ futures, but because Brian has the experience and demeanor of someone who knows what they’re talking about when it comes to acquiring player personnel. His track record thus far has been pretty darn solid. [/QUOTE]
