Outside of Moss, when you eyeball our WR talent and production vs their payroll, it's got to be among the worst in football. Neither Garcon nor Morgan are worth their contracts, and the opportunity cost of those mistakes by the regime are simply enormous given our salary cap situation.

The thing is, we realistically have to take a win now mindset. Given the lack of high draft picks over the next two seasons and the huge wad of cash we blew on FAs over the last two and a half seasons, the time to win is now. If anything we'll see more holes open up over the next 2-3 seasons as guys like Fletcher, Orakpo and Hall need replacing than we can fill through the draft. That's why I balk when Shanahan apologists continue to look toward the future for improvement. Do ya'll expect upgrades as we replace Fletcher, Orakpo, Hall and probably one or two other guys? The future is now.

so what's the solution?

The solution is to draft the right players and sign the right players as the current veteran stars on the team fade out. I wish Gibbs would have drafted Darrelle Revis instead of LaRon Landry in 2007. If he had, the Redskins wouldn't have a bum wearing #23 right now playing corner.

I don't know about that. Landry seemed to play well when he played with Sean Taylor, we all believed that the duo will be one of the greatest in NFL history. When Taylor passed away, Landry had big shoes to fill in and he tried too hard. Gibbs could not have predicted that, if the tragedy did not happen, we would be praising Gibbs for drafting the safeties today. Only if Taylor was alive today, with the front 7 we have - it would be awesome defense

Btw why are we talking about the past when this is Falcons game thread?
