Yeah I totally misread the post. Just ignore me.
Yes, but the philosophy of a GM with a hot team (in any sport) is to look at holes that may be crippling, and try to address them if at all possible in the best way available. So, they made an evaluation on a scale of - "does this move help us? is the risk worth it?" and determined that the Math worked out for them. They also looked at *what was available at the time.* I don't think there was someone who was better who was also available at that time (the "now" of that time).
Generally I agree, but in Tunsil's case the LT position is so hard to find a premium player and his play on the field has been very consistent for a number of years. And he is healthy, he's not rehabbing like Lattimore has been.
I guess anything is possible but it looks more likely to me it’s just the no news time of the NFL year and these guys are desperate for anything to write about. I mean, there are no real consequences for posting straight-from-neatherland BS and as long as they get read then that’s $ in their account. That’s why the ones who take time to get actual info are so rare and so valuable. Tell me when Keith, Finley etc. say it’s real.
In the glory years, Gibbs famously kept players for a year or two too long. Does anyone think Donnie Warren couldn't be beaten out after his twelfth year? Gibbs loved his core and he fought like hell for and with them. Now, the glory year phenomenon still happens. The Caps kept Oshie a year too long because like with Gibbs he earned that extra victory lap despite his declining skills.
And what makes sense for the organization might be to rely on their elite qb to make do with less expensive receivers in general, or at least not expensive 30-somethings. The two Browns illustrated the point this offseason already—Noah taking a modest deal, and Dyami cashing in elsewhere.
don't get too comfortable with the idea of "rely on the elite QB and get away with cheaper/lesser WRs". there have been plenty of instances where this hasn't worked out for other teams. Tom Brady and the Patriots are an anomaly from sheer consistency. I don't want to switch to a cycle of "man...we need some weapons" every year. if the front office ultimately deems Terry to not be worth it, though i'll be unhappy and vehemently disagree, they'll do what they need to do. I don't see the point in our own fanbase speculating on whether or not we can get away with lesser talent, aka w/o Terry, before it happens. don't let fraudulent rumor mills get your imagination running wild.
