What is your main gripe with the proposed Briggs deal?

Until Briggs comes here and absolutely shows out on the field, I will not be convinced that he's any significant upgrade. I'm done with all of these paper upgrades.

good point, but all the players we have on D have had to learn this system. only Arch apparently couldn't learn it.
