Cocky pr*ck killed our 2006 season, the year it should have all come together for Gibbs II.

But then he and Gibbs both later admitted publicly via interviews that they'd like to have that move back, that they should have tried to keep Antonio.

True. And to be fair it was GW that turned Pierce into a great player in the 1st place.

Yeah and I believe the offer from the Skins was very much in line with what the Giants gave him, the Giants just gave him more $$ up front. So it's not like the Skins let him walk out the door without making an effort to keep him.

That's the way I remember it. We cut Trotter and gave Pierce a chance to start. He did very well and we made a good offer after the season but he went for the most money.

Then they got Fletcher It's ironic how Fletcher has seemingly outlasted Pierce, you know with Fletch being 3 years older.
