Talent Acquisition: Synder/Gibbs Style vs Jones/Parcells Style

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'd say honestly it's a wash for both teams. You REALLY can't put Ware and Newman on that list quite yet. I'd even give Newman the nod over Ware. If you're calling what he did last year superstar stats, then you might want to go ahead and add Phillip Daniels, because he actually had better stats. Also, you'd want to add Sean Taylor and Shawn Springs.

I'll even give Roy the nod saying that he belongs in your list. The reason I say it's a wash is because the Skins trade picks away to get the "sure things", players just entering their prime. Of course, this isn't without exception.

The Cowboys prefer to stockpile numerous draft picks and will deal with the consequences of "busts". Both ways work, and both teams have found legitimate starters and stars in the draft and in free agency.

I say we simply compare the end year results.

If I remember, last year we made the POs. cow-not-quite-men, nada, zip, zero, zilch!

And, I believe we won at TB. g-nomes lost at home! At home!

So, by that count, we are ahead of both cow-not-quite-men, and g-nomes,

with all of the drafting vs. fa signings!

Somehow, I don't remember much about the e-girls POs luck last year.

As an FYI, Kurt Warner was never in the CFL. He played arena football. Lumsden on the other hand played his college football in Canada and broke many school and Canadian University records and was drafted last year (can not remember by who) then got released and played for Hamilton in the CFL. He then got picked up by the Redskins.

He was a great running back in college, but with our overloaded backfield, I think he may end up back in Canada for another year. It is too bad, but unless we get rid of Betts and Rock, I think it will be the best thing for him as he will have another year of playing full time under his belt.
