You always do this. Carson was injured - along with every other RB on the roster - that's when they drafted Penny. I don't understand why you always fail to mention that. Carson was injured - zero guarantee he would come back. RW led the team in rushing. Don't you think those are important nuances when criticizing JS? Baffling. Every RB goes down. No guarantee they can come back. SO they draft a RB - and you're still complaining about it - in hindsight. It's like you just have to be complaining about something. I just don't get it.
And you always do this...you fail to mention that it was a very deep RB draft, and Penny was far from a good fit for this team or worth a middle of the first round pick. I hated the pick from day one, and had the balls then to say it. The only thing you ever do is make excuses. Blows me away that you are able to bitch about a three and O start, but I can't complain about draft picks that stunk!

SO, if you are the GM of a team - and every RB on the roster goes down with injury - you wouldn't draft one? Why is that such a crime to you? If you didn't draft one - you'd get fired for incompetence. Who would be carrying the ball? Literally every RB went down. (This is where you google search the best RB drafted after Penny - the one having the most success, and tell us that's who you would've taken - right?). Still lamenting the Penny pick in 2020. You gotta get some new material. Imagine this offense when he returns. He was killing it. But you have a problem with that? Of course you do, because we are just cursed with this awful franchise. 3-0 and you're still lamenting a pick meant to fill the void left when every single RB went down.
It's not a crime, but it is asinine to draft one in the first round when you have other needs and already have Carson and Davis on the roster. Players get hurt. It looks really bad when they back you picked spent the first half of season one as third string and couldn't supplant Carson even the next year when he fumbled like four times in less than half a season! Carson was and is the man here, and you are OK with a first round pick for his back up because he might get hurt again. Russ might get hurt tomorrow, I guess we better start searching for his replacement. Worked with Penny and Brooks! If you goal is to compete for Championships, first round picks aren't for depth. But, then again, you are the guy if favor of ten below average O Lineman being signed because Depth is Ubber important.

You gotta get some new material dude. This shit is so stale, just like your perfect hindsight drafts. You always know better, right? :roll:
I need new material? That is rich! Once again, you are Captain Hawk for bitching about a 3 and O start, and somehow I have issues for not liking wasted draft picks, especially in the first round? I have said 47 million fucking times...I would NOT use a first round pick on a run stuffing MLB, and CERTAINLY not when we have the best in the Biz, I would not use a first round pick on a RB, especially when he wasn't good enough to even be second string by mid season, and I SURE AS SHIT wouldn't waste a first round pick on an Edge Rusher that isn't a good pass rusher! They were flat out wasted ass "we are smarter than all of you" bullshit picks by two guys that do this shit all the time. And you make excuses every damn time! They hit gold in the middle rounds, they suck early. No one in here but you disagrees with that. You just attack me every time I mention it. Dude, I am not the one that needs new material.

You are excusing a 1st round RB that three games into his third season has less than 800 yards rushing! That would be bad enough....but we already had a guy that has over 2,500 yards in that same span. Seriously. Players get hurt...that doesn't mean that you use a first round pick the next year for depth! Especially not in a draft as deep in RB talent as that one.

If this was an isolated instance? I would understand how pissed off you get, but the only proof you have is a bunch of what ifs. The first round has been a sea of horrors for them. Whine and cry all you want, it has. You simply should not reach with a first round pick, and they always do. That is why they traded them away.

The last time you had your love affair with the Penny pick I showed you a dozen Pete Carroll comments about Chris Carson. They loved him. They fell in love with a shiny new toy, just like Jimmy Graham, Percy Harvin, and every other new offensive toy they wanted but couldn't fit into their offense. Chubb fit this offense. I wouldn't have liked that as a first round pick, because, you know, he is a fucking RB, but it would have made more sense.

The funny thing is, even they understand they blow first round picks. They have traded away the next two and prior to the last three? They traded away two of them. So, in a seven year span they will have made three first round picks. Those three will be Brooks, Collier and Penny. I'd trade them away too.

I look forward to you again crawling back in your hole. You do this at least twice a month. Stay away, show up to bitch about the NFL and Thursday night and injuries....then attack me once before going away. Bye Felicia

It wasn't so much that as that they burned a 1st round pick on him. He may be a big athletic talent, but i'm not so sure about the mental aspect. Weight issues in his second year does not bode well. I'll be curious to see how he looks physically when he finally gets back on the field because he doesn't appear to be the work-out warrior type.
The weight issues are hindsight. Taking a RB from a non big 5 conference isn't. Should have taken Chubb or Michel from Georgia if they wanted a RB. Both have massively outperformed Penny.

Forgot about the weight issues. Remember, he hurt his hand so he couldn't maintain his weight. Ugh. I tell my doc that all the time. My wrist hurts so I am fat.

Doesn't matter, taking a MLB, an Edge Rusher that doesn't rush or a RB in the first round is stupid. Luckily we have realized we don't know what the eff we are doing in the first round and we traded them away!

Of course the one i thought i wanted was Guice, who has made it into all of 5 games for a bad Deadskins team.

I liked Guice too, but not in the 1st round. I really liked Chubb, but as I have said, I am not sure I would have been happy with any Running Back in the first round. The difference is who would we have actually taken in the first if we didn't take a back. It might have been a player of need.

There were four Pro Bowlers taken after him. One was the last pick of the first round, so no way we would have taken him. The other three were in the second round, and Chubb was one of them. Courtland Sutton is interesting. That would have made quit the trio. After looking at that draft I remember being very disappointed that Calvin Ridley went right before us. I wonder if we would have taken him if he is available, and if we had, would we have moved up the next year to take DK? Imagine those two playing with Lockett and Russ! The same can be said if we would have taken Sutton. I remember thinking once Ridley was taken that we would trade back. We probably tried.

Sounds like Carson is good to go. I'd still like to see a little Dee Jay out there.

Scares me. I hope they are careful with him. Not sure we need him to beat Miami.

Well, the wrist injury does make the other sex option more difficult!

That is hindsight. Penny gained over 1000yds from scrimmage more than Chubb did in his senior season plus he returned 8 kicks/punts for TD's. Penny was AP 1st team All America. Chubb was 2nd All SEC. Penny caught the ball out of the back field better. While a surprise pick. Penny was the best pick at the time.
