No, no, no It was explained to me here, Morgan was a whiff, a blown pick that did nothing for the team Mike White was just pure dumb luck. This way you can have it both ways, dump on JD for the pick while still dumping on him for finding Mike White 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how he tried to back up the deal, he saw something in MW, added him to the roster and kept him there. Plus it was said on day one that Flacco wasnt going to start, that he was the backup to MW. We did need a backup, I think that Flacco was more of the result of not trusting JJ as the backup to MW 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means he thought it was wise to trade draft capital for a 3 week fill in back up in a lost season. Much more likely that he was worried Mike White would not play competent football. It was the ultimate CYA move to bring in Flacco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless were actually advocating going into an NFL game with one QB and no one at backup. It was also said that Flacco was added to help ZW grow, that vet pressence he didnt have on the roster. A little late but at least they addressed it The defense is that if youre going to trash him, as some continue to do, over using a 4th to draft Morgan you also have to credit him for finding MW if hes all some think he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker, I disagree with you. And saying "I don't think he managed the QB situation very well" isn't "trashing." I also criticize Abraham Lincoln's decision to wait until 1864 to name Ulysses S.

Gase brought in Fales. The GM adds players to the roster, but you know that and it just doesnt work for you. In your world all the moves that dont work out are on JD, the ones that do you credit to someone else. Go back to shltting on JD somewhere else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meade was retained as the commander of that army, but Grant traveled with him to keep an eye on things in the east. That damn Lincoln finally got it right!

I agree he wasn’t brought to mentor I was responding to Jet Nit’s argument. I contend he was brought in because JD didn’t know what he had in White or for that matter Johnson.

Icer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I wonder how many fanbases fervently debate the wastefulness of a 4th round pick they accrued by trading down twice in the draft. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board has a disproportionate amount of emotional investment tied to the random fourth round draft pick known as the 'Morgan pick' For some unknown reason, this obsession devolves into people ripping the GM for whiffing on a 4th round QB - (God forbid he take another shot at a developmental QB with Darnold throwing for less than 200 yards every other week.) Fanbase that hasn't seen a legit franchise QB since Namath rips GM for drafting a QB. Math checks out. It was always a bad pick, then and now. I love JD, still do.

Well, in fairness to Lincoln the reason he didn't promote Hiram Ulysses Grant General of the Army of the Potomac until 1864 was because Grant was drunk, and couldn't figure out who Ulysses S. Grant was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
