For a few weeks there I thought maybe my instincts were wrong. Maybe you really were some sort of genius. But I was right all along (unfortunately). You're 3 years into this (2 gm, 1 scout director) and the team is no better than it was when you started.

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
Yeah, he busted Merriman's knee, took a crowbar to Jackson's femur, beat up Kyle Williams, made Easley smoke til he had a heart problem, told Kelsay to sit a couple weeks, et cetera et cetera...Bye Bye Brady...

im sorry but this team is much better then the last few years
we need 2 wrs
we need 2 OLBs
once we get that we have a very solid team.
fitz while not perfect is the best option we have had at qb since the 90's
the team as a whole needs more talent our first rounders from the last 5 years none are starting pre buddy i know wood is hurt
spiller is the best back on this team he will be a factor here before he ends his career as a bill
we in a major transition on D we dont have a capable OLB healthy on this roster
simple buddy needs more time
but this team is much better then it was a few years agoLast edited by djjimkelly; 12-05-2011, 04:02 PM.Comment

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
Urbik/Chandler/Nelson are all quality players so far.Originally posted by EDS
I think the '11 draft class looks good so far, though I'm disappointed with the SEC duo.Comment

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
So the best player he has brought in is a 30 year old free agent linebacker coming off a serious injury?Originally posted by djjimkelly
Says it all right there.Comment

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
The only difference makers in the NFL are primo OLBs/DE/QB, those positions affect the game more than any other, so yeah he hasn't brought in any difference makers. On occasion you'll find a once in a gen CB, but they're rare.Originally posted by EDS
Larry Fitz is a difference maker at WR, but he's not much of a factor without a quality QB.
It's not what you asked in your OP though.Last edited by kingJofNYC; 12-05-2011, 04:17 PM.Comment

i agree we need our best players to be not nick barnett but its a start.
we need to create a culture that promotes people to want to be here.
also we need to start taking chances on others misses maybin a total bust here is playing decent in the role jets using him in.
we need to start taking those same chancesComment

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
Larry Fitzgerald has almost 1000 receiving yards already this season despite horrid QB play.Originally posted by kingJofNYC
Buddy has ignorned the pass rush entirely in the draft and free agency. Have to wonder, if you are moving to a new scheme that requires edge rushers, and you have none on your team, wouldn't you at least use some assets to acquire one? Or would you rest your entire success on a couple of late round picks and a guy who has not played meaningful football in 4 years?Comment

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
Well lets look at the '10 draft with regards to pass rushers.Originally posted by EDS
If we look at the first round, I see no one special besides JPP. JPP was a boom or bust guy, everyone missed on him but the Giants. Giants could afford to take the risk with Tuck/Osi already established.
Guess they could've nabbed Dunlap or Everson Griffen in the 2nd/4th, but both are 4-3 ends and both had character concerns. I still would've taken a flyer on either.
Too soon to tell with '11 but Aldon Smith is the only guy who was available @ 3 and is also playing well.
They'll hopefully address it this year. Andre Carter was really the only DE available that would've made an impact.
Some of you act like pass rushers grow on trees. I expect them to try and get one this year, but I don't really see any stud DE/OLB this year. Maybe Ingram, not an Upshaw fan.
Edit: Bruce Irvin is intriguing but his numbers have been pedestrian, though the scheme he's in is a bit ****. Guy would fly with Rex Ryan though.Last edited by kingJofNYC; 12-05-2011, 04:35 PM.Comment

Re: Oh Bumbling Buddy, you almost had me fooled
I like Nix's 2011 draft a lot actually
Dareus
Williams
Sheppard
Searcy
Hairston
All look like good players
Justin rodgers made some good plays recently
I liked bringing in Barnett last offseason.
if we can repeat 2011 draft this year I think Nix is doing good.
His 2010 draft was bad....very bad. He also had a lot of bad luck as well with the health issues of troup and easley
I actually like Nix, other than his refusal to sign big FAs....Last edited by mrbojanglezs; 12-05-2011, 05:19 PM.
