well, unless we were going back to a 4-3, AC had to go. he was great in SF until they moved him to LB... that's why he ended up here in the first place. The move to a 3-4 probably wasn't a wise choice just based on the talent we had available, but now the personnel fits the 3-4 so great 4-3 players that can't make the move gots ta go. It sucks to give up a pro bowler, but he would've sucked here.

rogers we should have kept, since he was the best corner on the market... but he was frustrated with the skins and asking for way too much money (hence him finally taking a 1 year deal), so that may have been out of the skins control. I would have rather dropped hall and kept him though, and that's not revisionist history, it's what I said this time last year.

The QB thing has really been awful though, and there really haven't been a ton of good available starting QBs, but beck was a huge mistake (he's failed 3 times, so... he must be great!) and DM stopped caring about football, so I'm not sure if that was a lack of research or something that just happened, but that was a huge loss (cheap money wise, but thinking you've got a QB when you don't and blowing a #2 pick on him is BAD).

outside of that, it's been fine.
