When Shanny said this deal would take five years well.. It's going to take five years. Adding youth and developing the talent. Doesn't happen overnight.

I don't recall anybody saying Garcon sucks. The only thing that I have said and others have said is that he didn't have a good game.

Eh, I saw a couple of people question if he was worth even signing after today

Yeah, read a few Garcon sucks comments a few pages back.. lol This guy is good.

If you were watching the game you would have seen there was alot that would lead you to believe that we could very well have won if RGIII wasn't lost.

I mean, I think we should just blow up the team. Game over man. Time to start over.

Wait, don't I get credit for questioning it when he was signed!! lol

To kind of bring things full circle on Mike's (umpteenth) FA mistake, I know some folks asked if anyone (probably me especially though) would still prefer Gaffney or some other average, veteran WR. I don't see how anyone would prefer otherwise.

Gaffney or another WR would have commanded $1 million/year guaranteed money, at the most. We're paying Garcon $5 million + per year in guaranteed money. Is Garcon five times more valuable than an average, veteran WR? Will he be five times for valuable that the avg, bet WR in any year of his career? LOL, he's not even twice as valuable. He's maybe the 3rd best WR on the roster. Will he be targeted a lot yet this season? Sure. Will he have the most TDs of the WR corp? Probably, given how much the offense is willing to sacrifice to get him the ball already. Will that prove he's better than Moss, worthy of the contract, or deserves to start? (Right now my starters would be Moss and Hankerson, with Garcon and Morgan and Robinson battling to be the the "3rd option")

So you sign Gaffney for one year and then what? Sign him again for another one year deal?

If you can't sign (in 2013) a guy worth spending $4 million or $5 million a year? Yeah probably, Gaffney again. The Patriots are doing this and going to the Superbowls. Moss could be Welker in the Pats system, and the rest of their guys are pedestrian like ours. Hell, we even have a better RB/running game than NE, we're already half way there!

Why not? It seems a whole lot more fiscally responsible considering we are already behind 36mil over the next two years, and our defense is worst in the league, the secondary is a disaster, and o-line is shaky at best.

I know that hind sight is 20 20. But Id wager that alot of people on this site questioned the AMOUNT we gave garcon, especially with our holes, and the positions that went unfilled because of his huge signing, not the fact that we signed him. Noone questioned the upgrade. I think he is our best reciever, and I think he will be here a while and perform. But gaffney or some other WR, with proven hands and a decent route runner might have been a better option considering our cap situation, thats all.

I soon as saw the "sign Gaffney" - I stopped reading. We get it Goat. We are all idiots for thinking Garcon was a good signing. Fire the coach and front office today.

Now what's your plan?
