I could add, that doesn't mean JS won't come up with an alternate plan...That is the "magic", posters here put everything on getting Clowney resigned, but i doubt JS looks at it that way. That would be my point, its not that JS is great, he will get him signed, its that JS is great, he will field a competitive team
I think when it comes to FA signings and re-signings he hits far more than he doesn't. Honestly, I am trying to think, and I know there was SOME criticism about the Bennett and Sherman extensions towards the end, but they weren't exactly hurting us
on the field there at the end. ET was performing at a high level and other than a few injuries, so was Kam. Those extensions seemed to be the right moves. He has signed some inexpensive guys that didn't pan out, but who hasn't...and it hasn't hurt the cap. Gordon was a low risk high reward guy and so was Ziggy. I usually have no beef. I know a few years back we signed an OT and moved him to Guard, and passed on an actual Guard that we then lost. Joeckle was the guy we signed, can't remember the guy we passed on. But I usually have no complaints here.
I complain about some of what they do in the early rounds of the draft, but more nitpicking than anything. Everyone knows I didn't like taking a Running Back in the 1st round, but as late as we draft it is damn near the second round anyway. I have read some interesting articles about this trading down, about how if you pick in the lower 15 or so of the first round you may be better off, statistically speaking, in loading up on 2nd and 3rd rounders instead. Yes, I have wondered about passing on Ramcyk, Cam Robinson and Terron Armstead and Keenan Allen....but I was also upset they passed on the Bama LB that went to SF and ended up getting booted out of the league!
