(01-31-2011 10:37 PM)Swift Is a Die Hard Wrote: atljbo do you think TD should rely on the leadership in the locker room Tony G/Ryan/Peterson etc and bring on a draft pick that might have some character issues but cant deny the talent
Swift... I dont always disagree with u... I happen to agree with u on taking some chances... but at the end of the day.. u also have a owner who u work for.. A guy that went thru something no other owner has eve had to go thru because their franchise guy messed up...
They believe in team chemistry... Look at a team like Dallas... mad talented but no team chemistry.
I have no doubt in my mind we will get more talented and get what we need.. I feel like TD has did a great job... We have had some injury's with our rookies that has set them back.. but like Moore steped up.. I feel like Peria and Spoon will next year.
I would like us to take more chances... But since we are winning and becoming a better young team... im not going to complain... We just need to continue to add pieces and get better

I did. I made a thread on the old board stating what a mistake it was to allow this kid to go past the 7th round and eventually for free.
You can go look it up and see how I was bashed.
I also made several threads about the lack of playmakers at WR and RB, Norwood being injury prone and what a steal it would be to dump him and get LT, Jenkins not being a #2 and was called a hater and eventually banned. Also made a thread about Jerry being a bust and the Peters pick as proof. Also made a thread about Cromartie being the better deal over Robinson. These weren't rocket science observations. TD whiffed on a lot of things between the draft and free agency. We were a few moves away from being a super bowl contender but the only thing we are contending with is the falcon filter and the ego of Dimitroff wanting to look like a genius. Mike Smith led this team to a 13-3 record not TD. I like the direction the team is headed as far as character and things of that nature but at times its ridiculous watching all these great players fly by.

What about the other 480 predictions you've probably made that didn't turn out as well, do you blame the FO for that also?

That wasn't the point. I don't make predictions, I just present my opinions on subjects that's all. TD shits more football than I'll never know but that doesn't change the fact that he's ignored glaring issues at WR RB DE and in Free Agency at positions of need. I also made a thread saying that Biermann and Sidbury were NOT the answer btw. Banned. For being negative.

For being negative.saying that two 2nd day picks won't be the answer (I still have faith in Kroy) isn't a crazy prediction.

Link to the post?
Considering guys like Jigga Donkey and numerous other folks are life time residents of that board, you have to go above and beyond to get banned for what you say on TATF.

Here's the guys he wanted in the last draft.
Dez Bryant - Started out okay, ended season on IR. Cowboys threatened to deal him recently.
Navorro Bowman - Started one game, saw spot duty the rest of the year
Everson Griffen - Back-up, recently arrested for felony battery while fleeing police
Eric Norwood - Depth who saw limited playing time
Matt Tennant - Depth for the Saints, never saw the field.
Anthony Dixon - Averaged a whole 3.4 YPC in the RB carousel that was the 49ers RB line-up. Had multiple games with a sub-3.0 YPC average.
Jordan Pugh - Bottom of Depth Chart
Selvish Capers - Practice Squad
Talking about IMPACT folks. That's some serious IMPACT!

TD didn't lose the game; coaches and team did.
We weren't stopping packer offense, and no changes on the defense. nuff said.
Hindsight almost always wins. But we should have changed up coverage. nuff said.
