- Giving Randle El a $10 million signing bonus when we already had 3 capable kick returners in Thrash, Betts, and Cartwright...
- Giving up a 3rd round choice for T.J. Duckett who won't get more than 50 carries for the season...
- Trading up in the '06 draft for Rocky McIntosh, losing next year's 2nd round choice when he can't even unseat Warrick Holdman or any other of the incompetent buffoons we have playing on defense...
- Adam Archuleta -- do we need an explanation about him?
- The defense is old, needs to be completely overhauled and gutted, and we haven't nearly enough draft picks next year to address a third of the needs on that side of the field.
If Joe Gibbs 'the GM' cannot see what sort of a wreck this team's personnel shape is in, then perhaps we have overestimated him. |
This is a good post, and I agree with everything except the last item.
We have a decent young core on defense with Taylor, Washington, and Rogers (hopefully more from him) -- and we can use our 1st pick for a legit DE. The rest of the guys are getting old, but Griffin will be a force for a while longer.
As for offensive personnel -- it's fine, with the exception of OL depth. That can be fixed relatively easily.
Overall, I think we can solve our problems and get back on track next season -- even after all the mistakes that you outlined.
HAIL!
