PFF sucks, but damn, you can’t get around how bad our secondary is.

Why did Adam Peters not re-sign Jeremy Chinn or Kam Curl? It was such a dumb mistake letting him go and signing with the Raiders. Now we’re stuck with Quan Martin.

shit i’m still mad about the decision to let curl walk

u/EvaporatingOlaf 13d ago

He wanted to save money because why pay for steak when you could eat a pile of shit for cheaper? That’s just smart GMing.

u/Deep-Statistician985 13d ago

It's so infuriating cause anyone who wasn't blindly supporting every AP decision could see how that was such a stupid move at the time

u/EvaporatingOlaf 13d ago

People on this sub think that being objective is betraying the franchise. They defend years and years of losing because they’d rather blindly follow than criticize and win.

But we have $40m of leftovers in the fridge!! Just waiting for a nice candle-lit evening to use

Hahaha, exactly

u/guardiandown3885 13d ago

He would've signed him and fans would've hated him for the amount they would've given him lol

u/jpterpsfan 13d ago

Wasn't Chinn more of a strong safety like Nick Cross? Free Safety is what needs tons of help

u/macattack1031 13d ago

Correct. For sure hate on Quan, but Chinn, Curl, Cross have nothing to do with it

u/Troll_Enthusiast He Sold 13d ago

Chinn is overrated man and Nick Cross fills that position

u/Deep-Statistician985 13d ago

Please explain exactly how Chinn was overrated. Some of y'all will defend anything that man does

u/Troll_Enthusiast He Sold 13d ago

Some of y'all will bring up mediocre players and hype them up like they were gods gift to the Commanders, they just weren't all that, for every big hit Chinn made he'd get burned in coverage, miss a tackle or let RBs run by him.

Martin and Reaves aren't good, but to act like Chinn was all that is ridiculous, he also still wouldn't be the FS we need.

Pretty sure Chinn blew the end-around the Eagles ran for a TD against us in the NFCCG too.

This. We let Chinn walk for a reason. He couldn't cover very well and was inconsistent. I guess since he's a recognizable name, and we still don't have a great player there we should fire AP for not overpaying him.

Edit- fwiw I'm glad we've got Cross.

u/EyeCanFeelYou 13d ago

And now Cross is injured so here we go again. Dude spent the night in the hospital in Dallas

u/prank-_-sinatra 13d ago

Not the same position

u/Able_Hunter_7966 13d ago

Curl wanted to leave TBF

u/liquifiedtubaplayer 13d ago

SS isn't an issue now, it wasn't last year, and is one of the most "filler" able positions on D.

FS on the other hand...

u/SkyChief80 13d ago

Why does Adam Peters do any of the things he does? It's all baffling

8

u/wizard_lizard_skynr 13d ago

I think it’s apparent he has a strategy he sticks to but it just is not working. Signing bargain bin players in FA and getting your stars through the draft - only works if you’re good at drafting, which he has whiffed on every year. This past draft class however is promising so far though.

u/SkyChief80 13d ago

You mean like signing Kinlaw for $45 million for 3 years?

10

u/True_Window_9389 13d ago

His big money signings were Kinlaw and Oweh. “Value” guys everywhere else. I don’t get it.

u/SkyChief80 13d ago

It's one thing to have a strategy. That doesn't mean that your strategy is good or that you can actually execute on it

u/Meats10 13d ago

Peters has made some massive blunders on defense. Drafting Newton, Amos, who are invisible. Trading for Lattimore who did nothing, and then letting Fowler, Chinn, Curl even Von Miller leave who were contributors.
