First, you didn't answer my question about what was humorous.  

Second, I didn't realize there was a statute of limitations on message board topics.  We talk about many things that happened over a decade ago.  Maybe we should shut those threads down?

Third, you came at the Jenkins/Talib decision by the Bucs from a hindsight status.  I made it clear the Bucs didn't have that benefit and had the resources to make the right choice from the get-go.  I didn't see that in your analysis of the decision.  Maybe it was written in invisible type?  

Its humorous that you are like "that didnt happen". Then people post articles about the story and then its "well I cant trust that source" or "find me 15 more before I believe it otherwise I think this is what happened". I get it, like most things you will believe your version of history no matter what facts are presented.

There is none, just commenting on the fact you are digging on message board posters while screaming into a keyboard.

Every decision is judged on hindsight. Here is one mock that had Jenkins going as high as 15:

Its not just my opinion that thought that both on the field and off Jenkins was the right fit.

Screaming into a keyboard?  LOL  Ok, bro.  

I didn't ask for a link once on this topic.  Someone else did.  And again, MJ saying he got a commitment from Bruce Allen is not a FACT ... BA would need to corroborate it before it would be a fact, and he has not done so.  

The whole "screaming into a keyboard" and "digging on message board posters" comments leads me to believe you may be a little sensitive.  You may want to sit the rest of this one out.

I can think of 2 reasons why a GM would tell a pick that in all of 30 seconds:

1. A sign of good faith in what could be a contentious negotiation process
2. "Leaking" information as a smoke screen hoping the player boasts about it before hand, or tells his agent who will spread the rumor to increase the stock of his client.

 

I really don't understand why you feel you need to suspend your disbelief over this story. You and pigfacebull make it seem like Jenkins was some Al Bundy retelling his 4 touchdown game. He fell what another 5 picks?

Not buying 1 but 2 could be a possibility, as sordid as it is .... although, you'd think that if a gm was going to pull tactics like that, which I do realize is done all the time, he wouldn't do it directly to the player, especially face to face. Belief is still somewhat suspended, with MJ probably hearing what he wanted to hear.
