Brown's vs Titans..... Who won that game again?
Your crazy at this point. He's done better than most of the nfl's other gms. Injuries killed fulton and evans seasons, that's not predictable. Wilson turned into an asshole, not predictable. He signed the best two pass rushers available, one got hurt, one didn't want to play. He did what we wanted him to pretty much, just didn't work out
Id say winning the AFCSouth was good.
The GM doesnt play the games.
Overall JR has been damn good.
This is the same thread over and over.
He also put together an 11-5 division winning team. We can go back to his team the year before if it comes off as better being in the AFCCG.
Best pigeon ever dropped on GoTits!
Respectfully- He didn’t do better than most GMs last year. And he’s admitted it. Injuries may have shortened Fulton and Evans seasons but they didn’t do much at all BEFORE the injuries. Wilson by ALL pundits was a reach and a head scratcher pick. Totally disagree that due diligence revealed to avoid that risk pick. Clowney had a an ailment and avoided a physical claiming “Covid travel” medical restriction, but even before he was put on IR- he didn’t do chit. And Beasley, just a head case from day one. That should have been avoided.
point is JRob is RESPONSIBLE for each of those. It was a terrible year for him. He knows it. Don’t paint it a different color. JRob has had some good moves. He’ll most likely make more good moves than bad moves moving forward. Own it, take notice, move on and see what this year’s moves bring.
Def his worst yr as GM so far
And we went 11-5 as a result...
Seems like were fine getting little production from new players
If you ask me that speaks volumes about the kind of GM we have..

Or the coach who is responsible for using what he’s given.
Top 10 in pro bowl selections the last 5 seasons. I’d say he's a top 10 GM. He’s not perfect and this draft has been rough so far, but overall he’s been a great GM.
I know that fans like to be binary pass fail and I know that anything that isn't perfect has to have someone to blame, but...
I think we really put too much on GM's. We had pass rush needs and Robinson got 2 of the better pass rush options on the market. What else can he do?
And how is he supposed to have the foresight that know that Adam Humphries is going to get knocked out cold on an illegal hit?
He deserves blame for reaching for Wilson when we needed pass rushers and cornerbacks (we got really lucky with Fulton, there was a real drop off in talent after he was taken).
...but I don't see how you blame him for Wilson having a mental breakdown.

The Pro Bowl? Its a joke not really a measure for a GM.
JRob is a good GM not a great one, rough year this past season, this year he has some work to do. We'll see what the offseason and draft brings.
11-5 and AFC South Championship is great but I want a deep playoff run and the :trophy:
Well, I think the frustrating thing is the Edge was an issue for two years and we got Wake, Beasley, and the oft injured Clowney. Did not address in the draft. Kicker went sideways for way too long. He has had some pretty big misses with early picks and has not shown ingenuity in retaining players. No one could have predicted the pandemic which will clearly impact retention, but I suspect if we went back and graded every draft and FA acquisition he has made and then did a parallel with other options, we would see that JR is better than average, but not in the stratosphere. As I have stated a few times, I think this off season adds to or subtracts from his legacy depending on results. He isn’t in danger of termination, nor should he be, but, it’s time to find out if greatness lurks beneath the surface. If not, we should be a 10/11 win team for a few years and put on a a decent play off run or two. Many teams would take that outcome.
