They had good Defenses during that time and could run the ball, but they perpetually sucked because they could not solve the QB position. Now we have a QB and some fans want draft picks instead? We had high draft picks out the ying yang for years, but still sucked because WE HAD NO QB!!! The last time we had a QB was Brad Johnson in 1999 and he went on to win a Super Bowl after the franchise kicked him to the curb.
How on earth are people NOT learning from the past? We're about to make all the same mistakes over again. WTF?!?!?!

This...Its not that we necessarily we drafted bad in the first, but the QB drives the bus in this league and once you find one that's half way decent you roll with him.
Id have serious problems with anybody in the front office who opposing paying Cousins...like to know the detractors, if I had to guess its Bruce. I think you have to remember, Bruce and Snyder picked RG3.....and the Shanny Clan wanted Cousins. I think the fact that the Shanny Bros. were right gets under both the egos of Dan and Bruce. I think Dan is willing to look past it and pay Cousins ( I remember Smoot saying Dan hated Cousins and wanted him gone) based on the playoff run and just the numbers this year. If its anybody, I think Bruce is the detractor from signing Cousins.
