I was ok with this signing, and unfortunately for the team it didn't work out due to JT's injury. It's a shame that he didn't produce as he did for Miami last season.

Well, looking at the tone of this whole thread, I would say it's was overwhelmingly positive on the move at the time.

People here know that I don't bring up every thread I'm right on. What's the point? I could dig up 2007 draft threads where people say JaMarcus Russell is unquestionably the next great NFL QB, or 2008 draft threads where people argued in favor of insanity that Mel Kiper could have possibly been wrong on the quality of our second round. But I'd also have to bring up threads like the one where I tried to argue that Matt Ryan wouldn't be a franchise QB and such.

I only brought this thread up because people are bitching constantly about the fact that we traded away picks, but when we are actually trading away the picks, people think it's crazy to question the front office for doing so. Then they themselves will spend all of draft season bitching about it.

Plus, it's fun to look back at what people, especially the confident ones, had to say before the season.
