Wrong that was a little fella call cam CameronThe year you're talking about was when Bill Parcels was running everything
The 10 year LT? JAKE Long? Did I read that post right?Wrong that was a little fella call cam Cameron

The constant is Chris GrierWe are twelve seasons from a 1-15 year with the number one pick in the draft and what do we have to show for that tank year? Our preeminent ten season left tackle flamed out and we won nothing. We are right back where we were SIX head coaches ago! There is clearly a problem with the guy picking coaches.
I’m OK if you think this is Ross’s idea, but from what I understand about Ross’s football IQ from fans and reporters is that he’s like a monkey with tambourines. Not only that I thought I read somewhere, where this was Greers pitch and that’s what saved his job.
I saw 1 and 15, was that not cam Cameron’s year.The 10 year LT? JAKE Long? Did I read that post right?
OK.... I was going to start this thread on January 2nd. But I couldn’t hold back any longer. Sorry about that.
The job of the GM in the NFL is to acquire talent and hold on to that talent. Please stop me if I’m wrong on that. So..... let’s look at Grier’s record so far.
Grier has ruined multiple drafts and has traded or will trade 2 of his last 3 1st round picks.
This team is now barely an NFL Team and would have trouble with Alabama.
Besides X.... name 1 player that would start on any other team in this league?
You might say “ But We’re tanking for Tua” My response is, Grier has been the GM for 3 years.....Right? What has he been doing for that last 2 years?
I have to say..... If I’m handing out a grade right now.....,After 3 years. Grier gets an F
Now for Flores. Besides the fact I think he shouldn’t have been hired, let’s look at his performance in week 1.
The team wasn’t ready to play in any way, shape or form. That is a fact and it is indisputable. We schemed to stop the run....... and the Ravens ran the ball like it was an OTA.
We made almost zero adjustments. We are starting multiple players in the wrong positions (OTs and Minkah).
I realize we have no talent.... But someone please point out anything that Flores or anyone on his staff has done in the last 2 weeks to make you say “That guy is smart!”. Don’t worry, I can’t come up with any either.
If I’m handing out a grade, and I know it’s early, but it’s an F
That is just my opinion.The faster Grier and Flores are gone.....The Better
True but I think it’s better than RossesYou sure about the IQ part? Grier hasn't really done anything to prove he has any kind of a football IQ either.

This is mis-leading because you know TB and Gase had a huge say.Taking a look at Grier's drafts as GM:
2016:
Laremy Tunsil (R1) - TRADED for high draft picks
Xavien Howard (R2) - Pro Bowl
Kenyan Drake (R3) - Splitting time at RB
Leonte Caroo (R3) - GONE [Out of the League]
Jakeem Grant (R6) - Starter. Resigned to multi-year deal
Jordan Lucas (R6) - GONE [KC]
Brandon Doughty (R7) - GONE [Out of the League]
Thomas Duarte (R7) - GONE [Out of the League]
2017:
Charles Harris (R1) - Very mediocre starter
Raekwon McMillain (R2) - Very mediocre starter
Cordrea Tankersley (R3) - Only really played 1 season, currently on PUP list
Isaac Asiata (R5) - GONE [Out of the League]
Davon Godchaux (R5) - Mediocre starter
Vincent Taylor (R6) - GONE [Currently Unsigned]
Isaiah Ford (R7) - Practice Squad
2018:
Minkah Fitzpatrick (R1) - Asked to be traded
Mike Gesicki (R2) - Very mediocre starter
Jerome Baker (R3) - Promising starter
Durham Smyth (R4) - Role player
Kalen Ballage (R4) - Splitting time at RB
Cornell Armstrong (R6) - GONE [Unsigned]
Quentin Polling (R7) - GONE [Unsigned]
Jason Sanders (R8) - Starter
2019:
Christian Wilkins (R1) - In Starting Rotation
[Josh Rosen] (R2) - Backup. Doesn't seem to be in plan for future
Michael Deiter (R3) - Starter
Andrew Van Ginkel (R5) - Injured for the Season
Isaiah Prince (R6) - Backup. Has looked atrocious
Chandler Cox (R7) - Blocking FB
Myles Gaskin (R7) - Backup - 5th String
HONORABLE MENTION - Preston Williams (UFA) - Most promising rookie on the team
The buck for the draft in these stopped with Grier. It's a bit unfair to try to evaluate 2019 after one game, but early results don't look amazing. Only Wilkins, Deiter and P. Williams appear to have longterm futures with the team.
So in all those years, with 30 picks, we've netted only TWO players that could be considered elite or close to it (Tunsil and X), and one of them was already shipped off for more lottery tickets.
And we look at players that even start, we currently have only 13 out of 30, and that's including two RBs who split time with each other and a Kicker.
This is horrendous. No difference makers other than X. If this is all he can manage with 30 draft picks, we are insane to believe he will turn this massive draft haul into anything of significance. He may luck (or rather, suck) into a franchise QB, but if we are expecting him to build a winning team around that QB, its nothing more than wishful thinking based on his draft history.
Heh. We had the least talented team in the nfl... before the tunsil trade, and our plan has been to get the best qb of the 2020 draft, esp after it became obvyto the staff the Rosen can’t read a defense. Enjoy the tank, or take a year off.
