2. Fournette was there for the taking and would have been cheap in terms of a trade. I spoke about trading for him before we signed our guys to new contracts..as i, along with most others expected the likes of Sammy and Robinson to leave and thus create more cap space...so again stop the bs.
3. I was open about taking an rb in the first and second rounds and as usual you clowns were rolling on the floor and pissing your pants with anger..now we got ceh and i was PROVEN TO BE RIGHT you wanna backtrack? Get the hell out of here  |
What planet are you on?
1. The issue was PAYING Bell. You were gung-ho about giving that overrated piece of crap exactly what he wanted when he did his holdout with the Steelers. Want me to bring up the thread? But on top of that, you also would have been fine with burning draft stock we couldn't afford to lose to go get him.
2. The stuff I'm talking about Fournette happened long after we had re-signed Watkins and Robinson, but that's also interesting that you were banging the table for that piece of crap long before then, too. What exactly is it with you and washed up and/or overrated RBs and overpaying for them, anyway?
3. I was open to it as well. As were a ton of people. I think there were a handful of Red Dawgs who said, "NEVER in the 1st round" even if it was pick #32. I have openly chastised drafting a RB if you have a top 5 pick. Hell, even top 10 is too much. But back end of the first round? Especially if he's the perfect RB for your offense like Clyde is? And if you have a need? Makes WAY more sense than reaching on just another first round corner or taking a goddamn center.
In any case, there was no backtracking. YOU, however, have a very selective memory and in a couple cases are changing the facts of what was said to better suit your position.
