Instead of trying to add a few meaningless wins to our total, I think (hope!) that Macc is going to just try to rebuild through the draft. Yes, we'll probably be crappy next year but I'd rather be crappy and pick at the top of the draft than finish 7-9 and never be able to draft true game changers. The best approach is to not put lipstick on this pig. As a wise man once said: "you are what you is". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcJet Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I don't get the Fitz hate. He gave us excellent QB play in 2015 that we haven't seen here since Chad. We took a shot of catching lightning twice and it failed but there was no other option. No savior QB was coming here in 2016. Geno killing a 10 win team the next year, while a 30 TD QB sits unsigned, gets STH's and fans pissed off and gets Mac fired. Think about that scenario. The complaints about his contract hurting us are overblown. Cap hit is measly 5M. And all you clairvoyants that knew Fitz was gonna suck in 2016.... well congratulations on your vast superior football knowledge. You are now batting .500 cause you were dead WRONG in 2015.

Got to appreciate this kind of thinking. Rational thinking, we tried to catch lightning in a bottle twice, we had no other option somehow gets twisted half way threw the post into going after people who uses the same rational thinking, with a different result as clairvoyants sarcastically congratulated. And the best yet, blamed for being wrong in 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcJet Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Let me re-phrase.... Don't crow about knowing Fitz was gonna suck in 2016 unless you also knew he was going to be very good in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcJet Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Mac's main mission is to find us a competent QB. Idzik failed at that by passing on Carr and Bridgewater. So far for Mac passed on Paxton Lynch and Dak Prescott and Siemian and took Petty and Hack. Lets see how that pans out. (doesn't look good right now).

He wasn't great in 2015. He was as inaccurate as ever, with second and third string defenders dropping his would-be interceptions. He looked better than he was because of the low level of competition the team faced that year. I understand that some fans were duped by that, but the alleged football men in charge of the team shouldn't've been. And the cap hit is the full $12M. Cap space rolls during the current CBA. That's money that could've been put to use this year or next, but it's now forever gone for a QB who wound up benched for Geno Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Mac believer but drafting in hindsight is much easier than drafting in real time. or to put it in Back to the Future terms, Biff Tannen is not a great sports handicapper, he just has the Almanac.

C'mon man, Fitz made some great reads and throws that year too against some quality defenses. Open your heart a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open your heart a little. You can put together a highlight reel for just about anyone in the league, and they'll look pretty good. Marshall and Decker balled for him that year. His arm was, and is still, a wet noodle. And no, not against some quality defenses. Against the weakest schedule in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
