Monday Night Football took the time to ask Alexa who had been sacked the most this year, just now, in a 17-17 tie.
Talk about rubbing it in.

It's rough for sure, but Wentz is a pretty bad QB. Can't play unless everything is going his way. I think that ACL just ruined everything that made him dynamic.Philly’s WRs are worse than ours. Jesus Christ.
So glad we kept Minter!!! At least they Could’ve retained Bynes instead.currently being reminded how much I miss Marcus Golden..... add that to the list of blunders for our GM who shall not be named.
high motor guy that was key to our previously elite defense

You're totally right here, but Keim being incapable of finding a guy that can have sustained success here is a legitimate concern.holy crap this is the stuff that kills me. Listen if you want to fire SK then go for it
but you can’t crap all over him one minute for giving guys like DJ and Honey Badger contracts after getting hurt and they not being the same players.
then crap all over him for not signing Golden after he got hurt. This isn’t even true by the way Golden was not good when he came back. WAS NOT GOOD when he came back. He’s taken a long time to get back to being productive. That’s the truth. No Golden was never the key to our defense just stop. As long as there was a guy named Chandler Jones here
and good for him cause he was a guy I always liked and fans crapped on ( me included) when he was considered a huge reach when he was drafted. Now Golden is still being productive and Shane Ray is out of the NFL.

I'm not willing to do the research at the moment, but I'd really love to see which other GMs have this kind of track record with a lack of successful players re-signed.

honestly a lot of it is just dumb bad luck
Honey Badger
David Johnson
Marcus Golden
John Brown
all drafted and out performed there draft spot but were never the same after getting hurt. Anyone who says you can see injuries coming is just flat out full of it.
Jonathon Cooper was considered a “safe” pick a plug and play 10 year all pro and boom season ending injury. Was he ever going to be that guy? Who knows.
Quoting both posts since my points are the same overall...It’s something like 50% of first round draft picks make it to there second contract and it just goes down from there.

None of those guys were first round picks. Which is fine, in theory, but we're talking 4 guys out of 54 draft picks that we'd even consider re-signing, only two who did, and the last one remaining is on the outs. That's not considering picks traded away, and Chandler Jones is a true success story, but the reason this team is so bad is that we haven't acquired any cheap and successful players through the draft in a long time. Certainly, no pillars of our roster.
I can't really find another team that doesn't have a guy they drafted who is a rising/established star at the moment. The best we have is either Kyler or Kirk, and both have significant questions still.
Dolphins, sure, I agree with, but they traded away Minkah Fitzpatrick, who would have been considered a cornerstone.my point is we did draft guys who could be pillars they just got hurt. David Johnson was thought to be one of the 3 best players in the NFL at his position and Honey Badger maybe the best guy in the NFL at his position.
what would we look like if those 4 guys never got hurt?
but they did and that’s the NFL.
oh and Dolphins, Redskins, Giants, Bengals
Did you know that Shane Ray & Marcus Golden were teammates & both of the starting DE's on the SEC east division championship team for Missouri? It was their first or second yr after moving to the SEC. I remember it well. Hated it when my Kentucky Wildcats had to block those 2. Our QB had no chance lol. Of course Shane Ray was the more hyped one of the two but looks like Golden is gonna be a better pro, plus longer career. Golden wasn't resigned imo because he didn't look even remotely close to his old self, after the injury. Of course he starts playing like it again when he signs with NY.holy crap this is the stuff that kills me. Listen if you want to fire SK then go for it

Is the mid level dudes Keim has let go. Bobby Massie. Lorenzo Alexander. Jaron Brown. Evan Boehm. Justin Bethel. Josh Bynes. Darren Fells. Josh Mauro. Kareem Martin. Alex Okafor. None of these got big paychecks but letting them go meant that we needed to use resources to replace them.my point is we did draft guys who could be pillars they just got hurt.

Dear Mr. Murray ;
Quit running backwards, this ain't the Big 12
Throw the damn ball away, this ain't the Big 12

I get being cautious with Mathieu, Tony Jefferson, and to an extent, Markus Golden. However, the rest of those guys were just good clubhouse and culture dudes which forced us to add Gresham, Clay, Kevin Peterson, Brooks Reed, Marcus Gilbert, Keesean Johnson, Lamont Gaillard, and so on and so forth.
Translation - "Dude rolls out, extends plays and creates many more 'escape the pocket/get sacked more' situations."35 of them could’ve been avoided if he just threw the ball away.
