Omar Kelly's Top 25 missteps during the Trifecta's Reign (Trip Down Memory Lane)

When so many on this board were proclaiming Matt Ryan a bust as soon as we passed him over in draft I gave sound reasoning why he would succeed in NFL . So people can talk about speaking in retrospect but the kid was impressive with no offensive weapons at BC. I saw the Long pick as safe but a good pick. Now three years later with the mess at Qb it seems Long was the wrong pickand we can no longer ignore getting a top prospect in here. I feel quite bad for henne since he seems a hard worker who has been plagued by very bad coaching and not one coordinator that knows how to develop a damn qb.

The Tuna was/is on the downside of his career and really was not particularly interested in building a winning team for the future. There are plenty of signs but the most obvious are Tony Sporano and Chad Henne. The jury is out on Jeff Ireland since Sporano was Parcells guy. And soon (hopefully) we will be able to see what Jeff Ireland can do with his guy (whoever that is) as head coach.

It's funny how people here bash Matt Ryan so they can be right, but most people here would take Matt Ryan over Chad Henne any day. I like Jake Long and he's a great LT, but franchise LTs don't win games. QBs do. It seems like only a handful of people understand this concept.

We traded down from #12 to #28 to pick up a 2nd rounder, which we used on the awesome Koa Mising.

I know that we traded down, but would you have gone and drafted Dez at 12 and not drafted anyone in the 2nd round as well? Come on man, it was the right thing to do at the time. Eric berry and Spiller were already gone by the time we picked.

Or we could have taken Earl Thomas, but clearly we didn't need a playmaking safety. We needed another D-linemen which was our deepest position on the team.

That's because Miami traded down from around 18 or so. Miami could have chosen Bryant but they traded down and missed out.

I think they traded down from #12 so SD could take Ryan Mathews...Should of just taken Earl Thomas at #12
 
Well here is one thing --
Who was the LT before Jake long? Carey a RT - so Ryan would have been KILLED behind the Ol -
Since they now have the Franchise LT getting a FRanchise QB is gonna be easy with a top 5 pick, both will be be able to play well.
 
#12 is probably bigger than most think. We have a lot of depth at DE. Not saying everyone is that good, but there is tons a depth. Dez is a future Hall of Famer.

Yes. Dez Bryant and Earl Thomas were both worth the spot and not drafting in the second round, ESPECIALLY over another DE.
 
there are a couple moves on the list I don't agree with. One being Jake Long over Matt Ryan. I get the hindsight thing, but Jake when healthy is THE premiere LT in the game. As I always state, I'd be more pissed off about drafting Ronnie over Rodgers.

Yes on overpaying Free Agents, but Dansby is a poor example as he was good last year, and has been struggling with hammy problems this year. The big problem was giving OL with injury history (Grove and Smiley) long term and pricey contracts.

Honestly, as good as Dez will be if he can shake the injury bug, our FS problems make me wish we would have just stayed at 12 and took Earl Thomas.

Matt Roth is not a reason we aren't good.

The celebrity owners did not hurt the team.

Ronnie and Ricky had to go, and neither have been that good for their new teams.

The Harbaugh situation is what it is. And in all honesty, if Sparano can't deal with the fact that he might be replaced oh well. And the more I think about it, I think Ross gauging Harbaugh's interest was right. If he is who you wanted and they fired Sparano with the entire purpose being to hire Harbaugh and he said no, we'd be in an even worse situation
