I remember reacting to Emery's first draft with "wow, he actually sees the same holes in the team I see, even if I wouldn't have drafted those players where he drafted them." After years of watching Jerry Angelo do exactly NOT that, it wasn't hard to get behind Emery for a while.

i think too that emery's press conferences had alot to do with it. every time i heard him speak i was like "fuck yeah, this is my guy" and i think after years of smarmy-ass angelo press conferences i was just straight up enchanted.thunderspirit wrote:I think many of us went through this.wab wrote:Yeah I was really....incorrect about this one.mmmc_35 wrote:Kid of interesting thread read.

Eh... Kind of. In a lot of aspects though your not. Sutton fit the scheme at that time. The next year the scheme changed, and he was a square peg. For Sutton the best situation would have been Lovies defense, and for Sutton to drop some weight. We will never see that now.wab wrote:Yeah I was really....incorrect about this one.mmmc_35 wrote:Kid of interesting thread read. This was the in Phil we trust era.
A middle 3rd round pick to contribute for 3 years in a bad fit, isn't really a bad pick.

I think it was all of the false promises of years gone by that had us so easily mesmerized by Emery ... he talked a good game and took actions we thought were the correct ones to makeRustyTrubisky wrote:i think too that emery's press conferences had alot to do with it. every time i heard him speak i was like "fuck yeah, this is my guy" and i think after years of smarmy-ass angelo press conferences i was just straight up enchanted.thunderspirit wrote:I think many of us went through this.wab wrote:Yeah I was really....incorrect about this one.mmmc_35 wrote:Kid of interesting thread read.

and then things just kind of imploded ... maybe in a different way than in years past, but ending with the same miserable result
