What elements is he supposed to do. Get on his knees and beg forgiveness? He made a bad move. He admitted it. Let it go.
Here's what he should have said.
Yeah we drafted trey hoping he would develop faster. He didn't. he actually sucked. We fiucked.up. but we have purdy ro save our ass and we are excited.
What does it mean to "take accountability"? Sounds kind of meaningless.
It means they take responsibility for making the mistake. They admit it. I think that's the best they can do under the circumstances. If they win with Brock nobody will even care about this f**k up.
most importantly, it likely will never happen again....
They learn from their mistakes. Look at the Foster, Williams and Pettis situations and how we now avoid these types of players like the plague. Football has to be #1 in your life if you want to be drafted here. That's why I'm sure they'll never make this kind of mistake again. They took a huge gamble with limited information and lost, but finding Purdy has also allowed them to quickly move on. People make mistakes. It happens. They aren't perfect and both are still pretty new to running a team since neither had any prior experience before coming here, when most other execs spend 10+ years working in the front office before getting their chance.
Lynch and Shanny have done way more good than bad, so I'm sticking with our guys until the end. Hopefully they secure #6 before they exit, but I'm greedy and want #7 and #8 too lol. They been so close that the last few years and something tells me they'll finally kick the door down soon.
This Lance situation isn't making me lose confidence in them. If anything I gained even more respect because of how quickly they owned it and bounced back like it never happened. This team is better today than when they made the trade, when most teams would be crippled for years if they made the same deal.
