no offense, but you sound like the type to let others make the choice and you just follow

Well… at the time, we were 6-3 and tied for first in NFC West. In 2 months, if a bad pass rush was the reason we lost the NFC Championship, you would all complain that we didn’t get Leonard. Geno is fading along with our deep run playoff hopes.

Every once in a while we make the most boneheaded decisions in the league. I’m not sure what’s dumber… This, or trading two firsts for a damn Safety.

If he resigns, very good trade

If he doesn’t, a reasonable gamble that didn’t pay off, probably more due to players who aren’t him because he’s played well so far. But it should lead to some criticism because they assessed their team to be much better than it actually was if they thought he was The Missing Piece

I like it as long as he signs back here next year

Dumbest. We needed that pick to potentially move up for a QB in April. This miscalculation by them can’t go unnoticed.

If we were actually contenders and the entire organization believed that we had a shot of making a deep playoff run this year then I love it. That said, the offense has been struggling since last season and outside of a couple okay performances it should have been obvious to Pete and company that this team isnt beating the 49ers Eagles or Cowboys.

I think I am most bothered by the thought process that losing a key trench guy on defense immediately warranted making a big trade, but being down 2 Olineman after week 1 and another 2 after week two warranted no changes at all. I get Uchena was a season ending injury, but for a coach who values a stable running attack he sure doesnt act like it when it comes to his front 5.

I guess at the end of the day I wasnt looking at this team in week 7 thinking man we are only a player away on defense from being contenders. So i struggle with the concept that Pete and John did think that.
