Kirk - Moore
Hicks - Collins
Don't be one of these people that moans that we don't play our draft picks over crappy vets then also argue we need vets over the draft picks.
AJ Green is apparently easily replaceable according to everyone else here.
The only major loss we need to replace is Chandler.
First, I never moaned that we don’t play draft picks over crappy vets. If you recall all season long I was the one arguing that Collins wasn’t playing because he obviously wasn’t getting the mental side of the game that hicks possessed. So that argument not only falls flat with me, but also shows that unless the lightbulb magically came on for Collins once games and practices were no longer even happening that’s a downgrade on the field until proven otherwise. He literally couldn’t get on the field over Vallejo and walker. So until he proves he’s an upgrade that has to be viewed as a downgrade.
And as I just mentioned, if (and that’s a big if for an unproven player) Moore fills kirk’s shoes, who fills moore’s shoes on the current roster? Dortch? If so, that’s another unproven guy. So you can’t count on either of those happening from the current roster. You can hope, but again more often than not in the NFL hope comes up empty or short.
You conveniently just ignore the loss of Edmonds 900+ yards.
And it’s ironic that you tried (and failed) to catch me in hypocrisy but then try to argue a hypocritical point yourself in saying AJ isn’t a loss when you
have been arguing just the opposite all offseason.
So you can’t possibly argue that as things stand TODAY, this team isn’t less talented than at this point last off season.
Hicks to Collins is a downgrade until proven otherwise.
Edmonds is just a pure loss
Chandler is just a pure loss
AJ is just a pure loss
Projecting Moore to cover kirk is a big hope that’s more likely to come up short if not bust
Projecting dortch (or anyone else in the current roster) to backfill moore’s production is also a hope that’s more likely to come up short.
