With the benefit of his subterfuge, 100% hindsight and McGinn being an old man that yells at the clouds [Matub] with no personal life with nothing to do but think about and hate on Ted and this is all he’s got? This is proof Ted is the best.
Once again we cannot trust McGinn, he is just DISHONEST and anyone that fawns over DISHONESTY is either a sociopath or deranged. It’s a skill to say one thing and get the careless reader or those that are dumb with no football acumen to infer another, he could have taught Goebbels a lot about propaganda.
McGinn writes: [After citing the actual terms of the trade earlier in the article (4th Rnd or Conditional 3rd) for plausible deniability] “Belichick stole a first- or second-round talent for possibly a fourth-round pick.” In reality it’s only a 4th rounder if Rowe doesn’t play well. And Rowe was a CB picked 47, that is a middle 2nd, so that is not a 1st round talent, every GM passed on him in the 1st and half way through second.
Here’s who McSpinn says would have made a difference in Atl.:
Eric Rowe week 8 was PFFs worst rated player of all positions [not just CB]. He had better stat success against WR-less teams like SF and NYJ. Now NE gave up a 3rd rounder if Rowe is good, if bad it’s a 4th. How do we know Ted didn’t try to acquire Rowe? Obviously, giving up a 2nd rnd CB so early means he was either unteachable or a locker room problem. If the Philly GM has a choice to send Rowe to NE or GB [who they play in a few weeks and are in NFC] and both are offering a 3rd, where does he go? Correct: NE. So if Ted wanted him he had to offer more, maybe a lot more to Philly.
Cox-A lawless malcontent, who stinks [was cut week 12 and no teams wanted him]
“Antonio Cromartie-a 4 time probowler” McGinn writes [Cromartie STUNK in INDY, cut after week 4 and no teams wanted him].”
For Cox and Cromartie, McGinn says they were cut; but leaves out that these guys didn’t play after that, not one single team wanted them. Like I said Goebbels in the flesh!
We could have also signed Jamal Rolle. Cant believe McClown and his "little [uffda] me" didn't harp on that one.
It’s funny Bob had to get his anonymous stuff from an EX GM, one not in touch and not smart enough to be employed instead of a current scout or front office guy. Bet Bobby-boy called everyone he knows to get a quote to put in his notes to trash Ted and he had to settle on an old fired washed-up GM. Methinks Mike Sherman!😂 Gotcha McSpinn. 😂 Guess Mikey's still a little sore at Ted taking his job and firing his dumb ass.
And read McSpinn’s evaluation of Rodgers' ATl. Game. Rodgers played his worse game in his last 9; but better than most of his first 10 games. McGinn was way OVERLY critical, a certifiable temper tantrum, Rodgers made several very nice plays.
Here’s a fact, with the way Rodgers played QB in ATL., GB doesn’t beat Ryan even if Ted got everyone on McSpinn’s list and a roster exemption to suit up 65 guys for the game.
McGinn, just an old man yelling at the clouds-Matub
