Spoot-Face Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I know that finding good, quality long-term players in the draft is far from a sure thing, especially at the QB position, and I know that good GMs and scouts make mistakes on a regular basis. I've seen the lists that people post of all the failed draft picks from the more respected GMs and franchises over the years. I get that. But, from what we've seen from Macc over these past three drafts, it looks less and less like a good GM making a bad pick, and more like a bad GM who doesn't know how to make a good pick, and where it's hurt the team the most is at the QB position. A narrative that I heard a lot before the season began, defended Macc by saying that Josh McCown was never meant to be the starter. Macc meant for Hack to emerge as the clear number one, but that didn't happen, so it's not really Macc's fault. Strikingly similar to when, in 2015, people said that Fitzpatrick was never meant to be the starter, but only was because Geno got punched. Again, out of Macc's control. Well, when does Macc get the blame? And back to Hackenberg: It's not like they went with him and moved on after half a season of sh*tty play. Not even after a few games of sh*tty play. The powers that be decided pretty damn quickly that Hack was not ready to start, and if it was so damn easy for them to put Hack aside, how on Earth could Macc have been so comfortable with the QB position, as to completely pass on any and all in 2017 draft. It boggles the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4jets Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Mac deserves full blame for DW. Hindsight or not, DW was considered a top QB prospect. Maybe not the best, but one of the top nonetheless. And we were in dire need of a QB he passed on DW. How is that not on Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that injuries happen to all teams, and it's not something that can be accurately predicted to plan for, but it's becoming way too routine for his draft picks to end up and stay stuck on IR. That's either an indictment on Macc and the scouts, or on the conditioning team in the facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury prone players tend to come at a decent draft value for the most part. But DS showed no signs of improvement. Neither has Hack. Good GMs don't eff up 2nd rounders like that. Both those guys will be out of football ina a year or two or have minimal roles. You're right. Mac looks like a bad GM who can't make a good pick and not the other way around.

CanadaSteve Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Cool. No offense, but I think I would like to see KRL play GM. Warfish would DEFINITELY be the owner. I get a pissed-off Scottish vibe from him. He would call the shots like Jerry Jones. Sperm Edwards would be our PR rep. He can spin a yarn (in a GOOD way). Tom Shane would be the official color analyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnleyJet Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It's moot no one thought Watson was any good. Also Bowles would have played McCown anyway. Watson would not have seen the field. Macc's got one more year. Woody will have made it clear, "We get a QB!" Everyone knows we are drafting one or signing Cousins. The BAP bull sh*t is out of the window next year.

RESNewYork Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Am I the only person who believes that to find a QB you need LUCK? Teams spend millions of dollars on GMs and scouts and they run these QBs through workouts and background checks and everything else but in the end, if they find a QB, they got LUCKY. There has only been 2 occasions in my football watching lifetime that the consensus #1 cant miss QB worked out, Peyton and Luck. Everyone else who got a QB in the draft got lucky. Draftniks, draft experts, and especially fans on here. If you were praying and hoping the Jets drafted Watson, you were lucky because you are wrong most of the time just like the pros. Brady was passed over and over till the 6th round. Rogers was the 2nd QB taken and went at the end of the 1st round. Brees was taken in the 2nd round. Those are the 3 most prolific passers in the game today. Texans got lucky with Watson. This is the same team, coaches, management, that signed Brock Osweiler to big money to be there starting QB and had to give up draft capital in a trade just to get rid of him. It probably has to do with not having a real metric when measuring QBs. There is so much translation to what you're seeing and nothing definitive. Example after example of how lucky a team was to get a solid/franchise QB. So fans claiming Watson was a no brainer and you knew he was going to be great stop. You got lucky, just like the paid professionals have to get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlagmanL11 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 A TON OF CRITICISM! Watson was winner in college, had the stats to match and we are a QB starved team. If the selection was not made due to seeing what they have in Hackenberg, he should be fired immediately. Also, with Bowles playing the vets, the young guys are not getting experience, so where is the evaluation there? Total disconnect from top to bottom.
