DeAngelo Hall Questions Our Personnel Strategy

[ethat001]

We suck. I've been a hard-core fan all my life, but for the first time in years I turned off the TV in the third quarter. For the record, I did turn it back on in the 4th -- just in time to see:
(1) the extra TE we drafted (who we don't use and didn't need) make an illegal block on a return.
(2) the safety because HEYER missed a block

You don't draft an O-line for a decade, DON'T complain when your offense sucks.

Doesn't take a genius to see our "personnel strategy" sucks.

Can we turn it around? Likely not for years. In one year how do you replace an LT and RT and QB and RB and MLB (and C and WR and OLB)? We'll need a lot of 1st and 2nd round picks -- and by the time we replace those, we'll need to replace the rest of the team too.

I say REBUILD. Trade Carter and Moss and maybe Cooley for picks and then *DRAFT NEEDS*. We're aging and we're not going to fix everything in 1-2 years. Good news is our defense is mostly young and should be good & intact for 5-8 years - hope we can rebuild by then.

Unfortunately the fans and ownership don't believe in rebuilding.

We do not need to replace our MLB. Was this a typo?

Drew54 - our MLB is great with L.Fletcher, but he's 34 years old. Sure, Blades may be able to step into that role and we have more pressing needs. But MLB is still a concern in the coming years..
