Agreed. BOTH should be gone THIS Season along with the AR experiment, but they will get a pass because AR was hurt. Remember the old song with this line?They won't get fired. They won't be successful. They will be fired the next year.
That was Parcells, the last GM we had who knew what he was doing!!!! He had 4 first rounders that draft, he took Abraham/Ellis/Pennington/Becht, pretty damn good haul!Let's be honest here, no GM and HC has drafted the right QB for decades now. Not since Joe Namath anyway! I can't remember who drafted Chad Pennington, but can we even say they made the right draft pick there as well? I mean he would have been a great QB for us if he could have stayed healthy but that's the problem, he couldn't stay healthy. Besides Pennington, are we going to say that Ken O'Brien or Richard Todd were excellent QB draft picks, I don't think so. They were average QBs at best.
Maybe there is some type of curse and bad luck cloud over this organization because no one can seem to get it right! We have had a few decent free agent QB signings or trades. Testaverde, Farve, and now maybe Rodgers. I would say Testaverde was the best because we got the most out of him for his time here. If I'm missing anybody here, please let me know because this is about all I got. My point being is no one can ever seem to get it right, so what should make us think that Saleh and Joe D would be any different.
I'd be surprised. We believe Douglas is responsible for not fixing the O line and Woody is involved in stacking the staff with Rodgers' cronies. Hard to see what Saleh can do about the O line, or having Lazard as WR#2. Lest it be forgotten, Douglas's plan was to start with Brown at LT and Becton at RT, both players coming off major injury absences who weren't that good before they got injured. Tomlinson has turned out to be at least an indifferent decision at LG, he has certainly not played up to his contract. So what Douglas actually DID last year was to draft Tippmann (fair enough) and Warren (already injured) in the later rounds. The backups were Mitchell, who was coming off a long absence with blood clots, and Billy Turnstile, a washed up veteran. Then came the not totally unpredictable rash of injuries to this group and the continuous rotation of players which has made cohesion impossible.Saleh looks like a man with a secret. He looks like he knows he’s done at year end.
I figured it was Parcells but I wasn’t 100% sure. I thought it might have been Herman Edwards also. However; Pennington would have been a beast for us if he could have stayed healthy. That’s IF but he couldn’t, so it’s not technically Parcells fault I know but it is what it is!That was Parcells, the last GM we had who knew what he was doing!!!! He had 4 first rounders that draft, he took Abraham/Ellis/Pennington/Becht, pretty damn good haul!
Joe has an unheard of 6 year contract. He can RnR it for awhile. They should keep Joe and hire a guy for OL drafting only.Will they or will they not get fired at the end of this season?
