Didn't mayhew say he thought an extension would be done prior to the new nfl year? Didn't mayhew say that if he didn't extend wed still be fine?

He didn't extend and were not "fine"....then he took what little money we had and spent it on tate and Pettigrew. Awesome....

So tell me where mayhew said anything that resembles real life.
1. Mayhew said he "expects" a deal to be done... a public comment like he "hopes" to get a deal done makes him sound like a little bitch... that can't be done in his position (look at any high power business man, the words spoken carry all the weight).

2. "fine" is a matter of opinion, and very subjective. did we have to scramble and restructure any contracts for an arguably weak FA class? no... did we bolster some positions and get quality depth? yes (although the negative people will say no). once again, a matter of opinion.

you're a hater, so you hate everything that Mayhew does.

If the season started tomorrow I would agree with you. We still have the draft, more free agency and vets will be cut after the draft and through camp.

We are not a contender right now so top free agents will go elsewhere. If we over paid for players to get them here you would complain about that.

Are we in perfect shape...no. But we are getting close to being set of offense and can use the fraft to build the D.

Schwartz may be a fucking hot head....but hes got a smart football mind. After he went to the bills he said all i needed to hear about mayhew. That there is a big problem with depth with this team and the 3 mega contracts probably wont change that anytime soon. Mayhew put us in that position....no one else. Mayhew continues to put us in that position. Mayhew again put us in that position going into next year by signing yet another WR instead of addressing STARTING holes on his defense. Whats mayhews record while GM of this team? Whats mayhews record since hes been here with Millen? Mayhew got a bunch of coaches fired. What good has mayhew done exactly that im supposed to be proud of?.....he put a team together that won a couple miracle games enough to get us into the first round of the playoffs and get blown the fuck out.....how many years ago was that? That's what im supposed to be proud of? What exactly is there to like?

The parity in this league is awesome....teams go from worst to first ALL THE TIME. Drafting in or near the top 10 is an annual celebration for us....that's fucking sad. And its a direct result from having a shity GM.

And you still won't answer my question. Who the hell did you want here instead, bro?!

Now you're listening to Schwartz?! You have bashed the guy at everything he does or says. lmao

totally agree atx. You don't overpay for used cars....and that's how i see the first couple days of FA. definitely didn't want us to overpay. We cant even normal pay though cause our GM hasn't done anything to make space. We have no space and the cap went up lol!

technically it was Millen that put us in this position... creating a team that was so devoid of talent that we had to use 3 top 2 pics in 4 years before the CBA changed... but you still want to blame all of that on Mayhew... you're pathetic

Mayhew: Durrr..we're fine if Suh doesn't sign an extension.
Anyone with a brain not pickled in blue koolaid: Why? How?

None of those picks are on their original contract, so no.
 
And you still won't answer my question. Who the hell did you ewant here instead, bro?!

I wanted Mayhew to either

a) extend suh
b) make other moves to create space

then take that money and address the defense. He has holes everywhere so he could have felt free to choose a couple out of: DE, OLB, CB, S.

This is the deepest draft EVER in terms of finding a quality WR. Soooo he takes all the money we have and spends it onnnnn ...wait for it.....a WR!....but wait theres more.....Pettigrew lmao. fml...

Make the room and get peppers and one of the Cromarties and im praising mayhew right now and enjoying butter popcorn until the draft starts.

He did none of this....bottom line sitting where were at right now were slightly better on offense and our defense blows. Sound familiar?

do you think that the contracts of good/great players just suddenly drop when entering the prime of their career? did Mayhew overpay to extend? probably, but what other options were there?

What does that have to do with Millen?

The WR position isn't the only one that's deep. Pay attention..

timelines...

since Millen f-ed us, we ended up picking several top picks to massive rookie deals. Mayhew had to deal with them in some way... to pin this ALL on Mayhew is retarded.

he does share some blame, but not for the large 3 contracts for franchise players though.

You don't know? You trade Suh, trade Stafford and trade CJ. Pretty easy, bud..cmon .

What? No one is one their rookie deal and you said the new contracts are fair market price. Millen gets zero blame after 5 years which is a lifetime in the NFL for players and franchises.
