I don't really feel like digging around the forum to go dragging up threads, but I know I saw people defending Gute's decision not to grab WRs in this year's draft, and saying things to the degree that our current group was just fine.
Now number two I agree that most people have seen Adams as top tier value. General consensus is definitely that he's a hard replacement to find.
Now, I'll admit I certainly had hoped MVS had turned the corner after the first couple weeks, but it definitely seems to be the same old story again there with regression. Gute has rolled the dice and lost again.
Oh my word, someone attempting to figure out how or why Gute wouldn't have picked a WR is not the same thing as believing the WR is top flight? Dearl Lord folks, you cannot be this unable to think on a topic.
He signed Funchess, took an equivalent of a late Day 3 adding Begelton and had ESB coming back...not too mention a Lazard and MVS no doubt folks hoped would continue growth in production. NOW being able to express this thought, doesn't mean someone feels we did enough - it is purely stating what he did and/or what he may have thought.
When a guy opts out (Funchess), ESB apparently NOT catching flight like many hoped, Lazard sustaining an injury, MVS continuing to be void of progression and Begelton to not be that flier taken that turned into something....I mean that is literally EVERYTHING going poorly in one position room in my opinion.
It is purely a myth that Gute did nothing for that room...the issue is most folks believe he didn't do enough and to an extent what he did do clearly were whiffs.
