Yep....ane he's still at WR where the staff feels he should be.

Had a lot more I intended to say, but started thinking about our talent level vs how we are playing and got frustrated, so I decided to just give praise to JD.

But why say it now?  Why give the impression that the only way our corners could have been any good is if Spielman was playing there?

Yeah...it sure looks like we are loaded at CB with guys playing well.  It's just idiotic that the coaches would brainstorm with ideas to fix the problem....mention someone....then decide he's better staying at his current position because he's so good.

 

We should all just be outraged that these things are discussed.

 

Kalu and Jones are better at CB than Jackson and Lee. Kalu and Lee would be better at CB than Jackson and Lee. Jackson should have been the one moved to S. 

 

The outrage isn't that they discussed moving JD to CB, it's that they've shown that they have a difficult time properly evaluating talent.

Boy...you drew an awful lot from a simple tweet from a reporter that doesn't just have a quote out of context, it doesn't even have the original quote.

And, you know for a fact this wasn't all discussed at the same time that they agreed that JD should stay at WR where he is playing very well.

Which is why I asked earlier if the second part was Riley or Sam.

Why should they get that benefit of the doubt?

Which is my point about made up outrage over a tweet that we don't even know what part is the quote from the coach?

Why make up stuff to get outraged about?  There's enough stuff to be upset about.  We don't even know what the actual quote was.

We knew they weren't moving Kalu back after Jones got hurt.  That is when Diaco claimed he would be one of the best safeties in the country.

What is being "made up"? Riley was quoted as saying this in a press conference. You need to see the exact quote to be able to parse his meaning?

Maybe.

 

The outrage is over someone discussing moving a player to a position of need.  The move wasn't made and that player is excelling at the position THE COACHES LEFT HIM AT!!!!

 

Pretty much definition of made up outrage.

In a vacuum, sure. 

 

After they've mis-evaluated multiple players at multiple positions? No.

Riley please go away and never ever come back.

 

Probably not the best thing to say about someone who is nearing the end of their life cycle

Just listened to the actual question, agreeing more with Buster now, this was Sam asking if there was any thought to moving him now, immediately shut down by Riley.
