Except his '05 campaign was better than Wright's '06. They need to stop with the churn and burn mentality. Change for the sake of change does not work. I would like to know who decided that it would improve the team to drop Harris for an unknown entity.

Hell forget the question of switching Wright for Harris, what makes Rogers better than Harris? At least Harris can catch a ball that hits him in the hands.

We needed the cap room. Bad.

Harris could have started here after Springs went down...Oh well. He wasn't better than Wright in 05, and he is awful against double moves, but with all the pass rush we got this year that wouldn't have hurt us, right?

Did we really need it at the time? I thought we had about 3 million in space the whole year.

Anyway, it is too late to do anything about it now. Harris may make the Pro-bowl because he made plays this year but no one is afraid to throw at him and San Fran's D isn't exactly intimidating.

But it's not like Wright was a nobody. Plus, if I remember right, Harris (who, as mentioned, had a less than impressive 2005 season) left before we signed Wright and for the double the money we signed Wright to. So it's possible maybe, just maybe, that Wright just wanted to go. And it wasn't worth it to fight to keep him.

I don't know. I mean like I've said the move made perfect sense at the time but sometimes things just backfire. It's not a bad decision, just unfortunate results
