Nine quarterbacks were drafted after Jimmy Garoppolo in the 2014 draft. Now in their third years, zero of the nine are starters; seven of the nine have been cut by the teams that drafted them.
captainstone said:I too hated the Garappolo & OL picks. Halapio in particular has looked terrible. He might just be
the most unathletic OLman whom Bill has ever drafted, if not has ever had on his team. Sux that
John Urschel was taken by the Ratbirds 4 picks earlier, but there were still much better OLmen
available at 179 than this injury-prone blob. I thought that Stork was over-drafted at 105; if I had
to choose a Center there, I would've chosen Russell Bodine. And Cameron Fleming wasn't even the
best OLman on his own damn team still available when he was taken.
Or the 2016 Vikings (the Vikings may do fine but it cost them a #1 pick + at least a #4).
Is post history shaming a thing now or has it always been and I just missed it?

Our own Drafting expert, @captain stone, absolutely hated the pick of Garappolo..
What Draft Picks Will Make the Team (Roster Projection)
Well, @captain stone. How's that crow taste?
To state the obvious, the Jimmy Gs type picks are like insurance policies you hope you never need. But here we are with an insurance policy and now collecting on it.
Ask the 2011 Colts how things can go. Or the 2016 Vikings (the Vikings may do fine but it cost them a #1 pick + at least a #4).
Personally I didn't like the pick either as a fan. However I don't bring it up as a memorium every time a player does bad on the field with "we could of drafted |insert player x| instead of" to try to disparage the greatest coach of all time.
Speaking of that, if Bradford being worth a 1 and a 4 is the current benchmark for the QB trade market, I might actually come around to Garoppolo being worth a 1st this offseason, provided that his next 3 starts are even passably decent.
Bradford is a known quality that pretty much defines mediocrity. Granted it was a panic trade by the Vikings, but FFS. With 3 more 'pretty good' (not even great) starts, Garoppolo will become a more attractive asset purely by virtue of having some actual upside.

I think people need to be called out for their verbal outpourings, yes. Equally, people should take credit for prescient comments. What's wrong with that?Is post history shaming a thing now or has it always been and I just missed it?

Try reddit. And the 'uptight nerds' comment is laughable - you're on an internet forum...Because the idea of HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE on an internet discussion forum dedicated to a spectator sport is mildly insane to me.
But I suppose it highlights the gulf of difference in my viewpoint on what a forum like this should be about and what you uptight nerds have turned it into.
