How bout this one, "He who does not learn from the past is doomed to repeat it." People tell me not to re-hash the past but that's exactly what our new management is doing! The Shan-man turn McNabb into the next Elway and Allen wants to be like George and create his own 'Over The Hill Gang'.

We can't get starting young guys just through the draft and in case you haven't noticed, quality guys that are 25 and available are few and far between.

Every team signs veterans man. We didn't just lock up these guys for 4-7 years like we have in the past and committed our future to them. We offered up some short contracts and cut a lot of dead weight, something that we haven't been doing recently.

If you can't see the difference then that's your own fault.

The last lineman we drafted is just now retiring after so many probowls it isn't funny. What we needed to draft most is our O-Line. Of the 3 best, with the choice at the #4 and #37 draft spots and as many great QBs and teams in need of them, I'm sure our chances were better than with jsut the one spot. You think we have a better chance WITHOUT the second round pick?

I hope we can get a 2nd rounder for JC somehow...

as for "Every team signs veterans", I guess you see youth in our backfield huh? CP, LJ, and FWP i'm sure will make up the oldest HB trio this season. (lol, FWP! I wonder if the F part is still accurate)

The corner we picked up from the Lions ain't no spring chicken either. He's my age, older than any of the other CBs. Kemoeatu is 31 too, not old for a NT, but 8 years in the front line is no walk in the park. Then there's McNabb and his injuries. Grossman, Ryan, Hicks... I don't think we've signed anyone under 30 but Willie Parker!?!!

The part that kills me is that if/WHEN McNabb gets hurt, next up to bat is a guy who's best season is worse than Jason campbell's WORST season, who has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns, and isn't as mobile. A pocket QB with no pocket... Hmm...

I take it you're a glass half empty kinda guy. Am I right?
