Things often don't work out perfectly in the NFL. Lets have a good discussion on what SHOULD have happened rather than complaining simply because you didn't like the result. Maybe the result was unavoidable.

Bitching and moaning? LOL What a joke.
I just pointed out a problem, how is that bitching and moaning?

Here is a solution to the problem I pointed out:
We should never have traded Coles away at a cost $7m in cap cost. Plus signing the replacement Moss for $?M more in cap space. The replacement of one player (Coles) ended up costing us some $8M in cap money. Our rookies require only about $3M in cap space. we would never have had this problem. problem solved!

While Coles voiced his dipleasure at last years offense, Coles has never been a bad attitude player and there is NO indication he would have been one if he stayed. To say he would have been is speculation. John Riggins was a huge distraction and held out an entire season because he wanted to be traded. riggo came back and won a Superbowl for us.
Players and coaches disagree all the time, getting rid of Coles was drastic and at a big cost.
