Twice I've heard that in this thread, one from you for using a players most recent season and someone else for saying he has been on a decline and had a bad year. Seems crazy that its unfair to judge a player by his most recent season when thinking about signing him.
As for Jordy Nelson :
What is unfair about judging a player by his most recent body of work? Laurinaitis played in 2015 so his most relevant body of work is 2015. Jordy Nelson did not play in 2015 so his most recent body of work is 2014. How is it not fair to judge a player by his latest body of work?
These situations aren't comparable, one played the full season and another missed the entire season.
Ok. Player coming off a down year. Would you have been hesitant to keep Geno Atkins after 2014 if we were in a tough spot cap wise, and it behooved us to move on in 2015?
Like bfine noted, guy had a fringe pro bowl year not long ago. It's totally valid to discuss. Did I mention I think we should pass on him? Doesn't mean I'm gonna tell anyone they're crazy if they're looking at players to potentially add to a shaky linebacker room.
