Fackrell vs Gary

[KYPack]

So a 7-9 team was one fumble away from making the playoffs and somehow catching the 10-6 Falcons for the last wild card spot.

You'll never figure out what somebody is talking about when they don't know what they are talking about.

I’m not saying Gary won’t turn into something. He may. But Aaron is rounding towards the twilight of his career. Finding weapons & OL depth should have been the priority. We have been defense heavy for years & after spending FA money on Defense one would have thought offensive upgrades would have been the focus of this draft.

They did draft talent at rb and TE. Drafted 3 WR too last year. Kinda got a bad deal with injuries to Encyclopedia St Brown and Stromberg. Spent FA money on a broken TE. Not much more you could do there. Gary was for the future and maybe a hedge is the Sith didn’t work out. You roll the dice and hope it goes your way....

The TE pick was a good LOTO ticket for the future. Drafting Dexter was a depth move. He never was considered a possible weapon.

You can’t spend big and draft a premium 1 pick on insurance in case your big signing doesn’t Pan out. That is insanity. We already had that guy in the roster in KFak

I don't think the Gary pick was insurance. I think it was a pure BPA pick. I suspect they felt Gary was too good to pass up, given that his size gives him the versatility to play inside or outside.Time will tell if they were right.

Does that make Gary a Padowan?

This Thread really saddens me

Its a fair comparison, but Fackrell had three years to figure it out. Give Gary some more time and then lets look again.

And just let me make this prediction come true for Fritz:

"Give him another offseason of coaching and film work. Plus pro conditioning and strength training.

And then another camp and then see where we are."

Down 8. In the clutch. Season on the line. Janis woulda taken that slant to the house. Sloth got caught from behind and then fumbled away the season.

Metcalf still has time to stink again. Don't worry about that.

This thread is leaving me with questions:

1. Who is Dexter P4G referenced?

2. Stromberg is Sternberger, but who was the original referenced Stromberg?

I don’t think I posted in the nickname thread tho.

As to first question, Dexter Williams?

Oh yeah. I forgot, which is terrible as he is actually on the roster now.

OK, but does Stromberg reference anything? Only name its conjuring for me is Bill Lumbergh from Office Space.

"Ah yeah, we're gonna need you to come in this weekend"

[mraynrand]

Nah, it’s just a weird connection that probably only appeals to me.

the only thing saving me from completely jumping on the "gary is a flop" bandwagon, IS the smiths

if it wasn't for those two guys kicking so much ass, we would be expecting more out of gary

at this point we've gotten almost nothing out of our highest 1st round pick in a long time. i don't even think he's the #1 backup

thats not good from a guy the scouting department thought was one of the best players in the whole draft

i wonder if they got him mixed up with another player, cause when you watch every single one of his snaps in college, you see nothing special, just like what we are seeing this year

[George Cumby]

Meh. I see him pushing into the backfield on a regular basis. He was a junior, no? He's got time to get bigger and stronger and develop more technique. He was driving the LT back hard on one of Z. Sith's sacks last night.
