Well it's not that other teams don't make mistakes. It's just the mistakes our FO makes are retarded as hell. The smart thing to do was not to panic and let Evans play. That 2nd round pick could've been used on a potential quality starter.....perhaps at RT. But there is nothing anyone can do about it now and it's time to turn the page on this one.

Well if I recall correctly a pretty large majority of fans approved of the move at the time. If he doesn't get hurt things could have turned out much different.

Retarded moves happen all over the league not just with the Skins.

I'm glad someone pointed this out! When JT came last year everybody, including almost all the local commentators and national NFL analysts, applauded the move! Most people thought that getting a future HOF one year removed from being a defenvise POY for a 2nd round pick was a deal! The Fins were asking for a 1st+ leading up to the draft. Now, after he gets hurt and underperforms, everyone has about-faced and is calling the FO stupid for the move....hypocrisy anyone? It didn't work out people...get over it!

Thanks Matty for trying to speak some sense to the nay-sayers and jaded "fans"!

So if the national media is stupid about, and later, hypocritical of our front office, that makes dumb moves okay?

Nothing like bad excuses to bad moves.

I liked the move when we made it. And if Taylor hadn't gotten hurt, I would probably still like the trade. But he did get hurt, and while that isn't the fault of FO, we still ultimately got robbed as far as what we gave up for what we got.

I'm not crapping on our FO for this one. I'm just shaking my head while congratulating Parcells for working us over.

I liked the trade when it happened and still do. But, for VC to cut him b/c he didn't want to attend offseason workouts is crazy. VC knew this when we gave up draft picks. So, one year later he's going to basically demand JT attend a % of offseason workouts? If not, he's cut. Not a shrewd business move by VC.

I wanted two years out of JT and the FO cut him.

We constantly rag on $ hungry athletes but when someone doesn't take the $ we have a problem w/ it?

I applaud JT for taking a lesser contract where he is happy. Happiness means alot.

Or it's just that we are more closely attuned to these and don't give a hoot when another teams fan base is just as upset about a move or non-move their teams FO makes.

Lets face it, for good or bad, this FO is going to be aggressive in trying to make this team a contender. Sometimes that will be a great move like MW or bringing JG back, sometimes it will backfire like JT's signing. The only thing we can be sure of is that they are not going to sit on their hands and moan about the condition of the team. Hopefully, each move that backfires teaches DS a little more about football ownership, and that he will learn enough that when he gets to be Al Davis' age he's not grasping at straws.
