Did you think this when RW was on a big contract and we had discussions about trading RW for high picks?I don't really see people tearing him down? I think its super cool that a guy worked his ass off for 10 years and when he finally got his chance he played much better than everyone expected. It's been a blast to watch and I'm as happy as anyone for him. But that doesn't mean we can't question his second half fall off from the first half, if they really want to go back to paying a QB 30+ million after paying the last guy that much instead of a rookie contract for 5 years or if he is the right choice for years moving foward. It doesn't have to be an either or.
I personally think if you have a guy in the draft you love then you save the big contract and you're set up for a decade instead of a couple of years and its much cheaper and I wouldn't pass on an elite prospect for a guy who's had 1 really good year that can even be broken down by two halves. I feel good enough though that if they don't love a QB then sure take an elite defensive player and roll with Geno. I think its a real good problem to have that they find themselves in.
You and several others here defended RW when he was a Hawk on a big contract acting like a diva and handcuffing the team. This group attacked anyone who brought up legitimate criticism of RW, yet now this group is quick to criticize Geno after every down game (Geno's bad games this year are better than RW's best games this year). This group attacked anyone who suggested it was time to move on from RW in exchange for draft picks, often bringing up the valid point that a rookie QB is just as likely to be a bust as a competent NFL QB. Yet now, this same group wants to move on from a better QB than RW in favor of the cap savings of a rookie QB. Your bias and hypocrisy are evident to anyone who consistently reads this forum.
And, most telling of all, this group continues to defend RW now that he is gone. You, soulfish, hgwellz, and others should recognize that you have a bias in favor of RW which is affecting your judgment and creating hypocritical opinions.
