On one hand, you could say no big deal because he did nothing last year, and we would likely look for more pass rush help this year. I just hate the idea we have another high profile babysitting case that is another fuck up from being suspended all the time. You can't have offseasons where you look at suspensions being lifted as part of your plan.
Yes, it's very annoying when you start looking at the risks this team has taken with premium picks in the last 5 or so years that have really hamstrung the team.
You got the Lee pick in the 2nd, obviously an elite talent but when he misses about 40% of games what is that worth? Then you have the trade up for Claiborne, no explanation needed there. Spending a 2nd on Carter, an injured guy who they supposedly graded as a 1st, obviously a swing and miss. Spending the 2nd on Gregory, I liked the risk at the time and sometimes things don't pan out, but in the context of all the other mishaps, it really pisses you off. This isn't even getting into wasted picks like Escobar that weren't risks.
Of course we took a similar risk on Dez and got a HOF talent, so there's that.
In the NFL it's better to hit a single, a double and ground out to move a runner over as opposed to hitting a HR and striking out twice. Jerry hasn't gotten that, and never will considering his nature, but I think there are signs that Stephen understands that between the Martin over Manziel pick and that he supposedly was a calming influence on Jerry's itchy trade finger during the 1st last year.
