I'm just tired of trading for/signing players who we don't have good judgement on (I'm looking at you Fat Al).

I feel like we would have a much higher chance of success with a player that at least one guy on our coaching staff was familiar with, it seems when we trade for players that nobody on our staff has ever worked with before it usually ends up being a failure.

And it's kind of obvious we're not rebuilding, and if we are rebuilding, we're doing a pretty bad job at it. You don't trade away multiple draft picks for a 34 year old quarterback if you're not planning on winning now.

Yes -- good point, regardles of age, (and SmootSmack, you're right -- most of thsoe guys weren't over 30) the evidence clearly shows that there were major whiffs on just about everybody the previous FO brought in here.

Bottom line is though, the last remnants of the old republic have been swept away [quoting Gov. Tarkin]. Thank heavens.

It would be a good question to ask though: Knowing what Philly knew about their QB situation, would McNabb have been released outright anyway?
