    That Ireland hung onto Daniel Thomas because he drafted him and could not bring himself to release him ...

    And instead let Jonas Gray get out of the fold (when it was clear Thomas could not really make it happen on the field).

    Yeah, thanks, JI. The gift keeps on giving with every chunk of yards Gray gets.

    That's an irritation I have with the mediocre GMs in the NFL. They are afraid to cut ties with draft choices that just don't cut the mustard. They can't look at the player objectively because they have that "2nd round" pick in the back of their head.

    So when Pat White and Patrick Turner (a 3rd rd pick, but still) were cut it was because the GM wasn't looking at them objectively? Or is Daniel Thomas the one that really fits the narrative so we leave others out?

    And boy, that bum Ozzie Newson let Jonas Gray out of the fold too when Ray Rice was not playing well last year. He obviously couldn't get that "high contract" out of his head.

    I thought Jonas Gray's success against the Colts had more to do with the Pats OL and the Colts defense (or, lack thereof) than Gray himself. And, I like Jonas Gray.

    I also think that getting upset about 'losing' Gray after one good game with the Pats is hyper-reactionary and misguided. Let him reel off a good season before we mark him as a personnel failure on our part.

    Gray was on the Pats practice squad. Every other team didn't want him either.

    Yes and I remember Jonas' last training camp here and he clearly beat out DT for backup job to Miller..Man what a Tandem that would be..just a P!!SSER because once again we hand a weapon over to the Fuggin Patriots !!

    If you started this thread 3 weeks ago I'd have more respect for it.
