Dirthogs - while I agree with you that the media is not bashing the Cowboys like the Skins there is one critical difference between him and Haynesworth - at least the Cowboys had the smarts to draft him and get a lot of cheap effective years to help balance out the cost. With the Skins and signing Haynesworth they did not get to have the effective play of Haynesworth for the years that Tennessee got by drafting him and getting his play off a affordable rookie contract.

Overall we need to start drafting smarter so we can get players who play really good during their rookie contracts - often players are playing to their highest level to get that big time free agent contract and the Skins need a bunch of those types on their roster more than ones who are here because they cashed in.
