    I disagree here, because the question about Verrett, from Day One, was ALWAYS "Is this guy going to get crushed like a grape?"

    The answer was "Yes. Yes he will get crushed like a grape."

    And he did.

        What about TT not recognizing he had injuries in college?

        We all know Bulaga had injuries in Green Bay.....TT knew it and he said he thought he was worth the "gamble" at 10 mil a year. Would you call that a miss on a FA?

        I called it a bad signing the day it was announced.

        Id call Verrett a miss. Kinda have to imo but tough call.
        Telesco took a chance on him because we needed a CB. Dude couldn't stay healthy and missed 61% of his games with us and Telesco knew he had injuries and was a small dude. Sure he could play when healthy,...but so can Joey. And Joey hasn't been as injured as Verrett...and most wanted to trade him.

        Unfortunately for Verrett, he has been worse in SF and missed 79% of their games.

          To beat a dead horse GB has done it right since Ron Wolf.
          Telesco the worst GM the last 50 years maybe ever to get 10 years.

              The Bulaga signing was absurd. Then he followed that up with JC Jackson.

                Which GM signed the bust FA CB Cox? Was that also TT or was that AJ?

                    This is my point, he wins without elite talent, so will it be a wash? Because if elite talent is needed then I'm pissed about Keenan.

                    So many people okay on here with Keenan ... gone last year before injury a top 5 receiver in the league that can probably play until 40.

                    Why is it okay to lose Keenan but not okay to lose JH?

                          JC Jackson signing was a Nuclear Bomb type of failure...I actually think that Bomb was 50% of the reason Telesco was shitcanned.
