This Skins Stat Says A Lot About Us

Don't forget our castoff saviour McNabb. Didn't we give up a 3rd rounder for a QB that confused receivers feet with their hands?

I added up all the crap trades up till Shanahan's arrival. I didn't include any trades during his tenure.

I noticed that...but Shanahan giving away picks for used up has been QB's is another reason this team doesn't have depth. He makes plenty of mistakes on his own. His personell decisions on defense in Denver probably cost him his job in Denver as much as anything. Hard to have good depth when you can't even pick quality starters.

I concur. No argument there. I think he overestimated his coaching skills and roster and thought he could win now with little compensation, while still rebuilding. He was incorrect.

If Mike could find somebody to pick defensive talent, he would be set. As it is, his defensive drafting appears sketchy to say the least.

I think you nailed it perfectly. That about sums it up.

Completely agree. Mike Shanahan shouldn't be selecting the players. Bruce Allen should be doing that. I've been saying this for the past few days. The GM selects the players in the draft, makes the trades, and signs the best free agents he can find. The head coach meanwhile coaches all of these players. Mike Shanahan needs a have a coke and a smile and just coach the damn players. He'll never succeed at being the head coach and selecting the talent.
