The Tom Johnson Fiasco

Lol. I wish I was Tre Madden. This is THE BS of BS’s.

Ok we probably forgot that players cut before week 10 does NOT count against comp pick calculation

If we cut two of the ones below we get a comp pick. Either way Tom Johnson isn’t counting against since he was cut

Just a little hyperbole? The transition tag on Hutch was the worst move the organization ever made... no hyperbole.

This is classic. If you keep players because you have money invested in them, then you are not honoring the "always compete" mantra, and if you let go players who cost the team money then it's terrible management.

Pick one for change.

Once we acquire 53 players then it doesn't matter how they got here or what they are owed when. If they perform then we keep them, and if they don't, then we don't.

How many sacks did we get with Johnson playing? How many sacks did we get last week? How did this vaunted Vikings defense do in their last two outings?

People will dissect everything from the standpoint of damn near hoping to find a negative result.
It's the .net way :irishdrinkers:
Hindsight is a powerful weapon to have when providing opinions on personnel matters.

The Johnson thing didn't go as hoped. It does look awful in retrospect. One team's defensive chess move resulted in another's counter.
The game is the game.
