Doc Brown Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 When they give out trade grades all lopsided trade deal losers should just be given a grade of BOB instead of an F from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few items- every crazy Texan trade has been to an NFC team I believe or the Browns. Why would you want OBJ who has been a problem for every team he has been on? your point is very vaild.

JaCrispy Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 2 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Not sure how you can blame our FO. We have no idea if we tried for one. And second, why would they send Hopkins to the very team they just faced in the playoffs and barely beat? I mean we are a direct threat to them and really widely seen as missing a top end WR opposite Brown to take an even bigger step. Just because a guy is available doesnt mean they are willing to send to any team. Good points... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is BOB knew enough to at least ship Hopkins out of the conference.

thewookie1 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'd imagine Beane would of tossed out an offer but I highly doubt BoB wanted to trade in the Conference with the team they barely got past in the playoffs. I don't think the relationship problem would of mattered seeing as we wanted AB last year. Hell, maybe BoB feared Gainey's knowledge being able to fleece him lol.

And giving us a major upgrade at an area where most feel an upgrade helps us take an even bigger step forward in the AFC was not something they were into. We are a direct threat to them right now in terms of where we rank in the AFC overall, and Hopkins would have easily put us ahead of them between them losing him and us getting him and filling a major hole with an elite player.

White Linen Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 1 minute ago, ScottLaw said: And yet Minnesota is in talks with Seattle for Diggs..... I think Beane didn’t want to up the ante for him, they love their draft picks and have proven to be a conservative group which only gets you so far, hopefully they prove me wrong and find a way to get a good veteran receiver in here, but man, Hopkins is another level. I'm of the opinion that if you want to develop a young QB, it's critical to get him excellent receiving help. The Cards did that. Then as the QB develops he can do more with less. WR is the most difficult position to fill with top end talent outside of QB. We must land one of these WR's and also draft one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
