Are you buying into the Shanaplan?

lol. shannahan missed twice on QB's and once on haynesworth, which really hurt his credibility here.

the hard work on fixing the locker room and getting younger is starting to pay off, and this draft class (including forbath and minnifield) has been ridiculous. we need a #1 corner and maybe another safety (or meriweather and jackson to stay healthy/not suspended) and the D should be good again. we have a lot of starters on IR, and the pass rush poofed when they left.

that said, there's no alberts or donovans in the locker room acting like 6 year olds. everyone seems to be showing up and saying the right things... there's been no crazy spurrier/zorn/cerato type stories in years, so the mis-management and stupid drama may finally be gone.

hell, even haslett looks like he kept his job. he just needed to show people how to tackle, and to tell williams to play deeper.

On the subject of the quarterbacks, his options were not particularly good and short of a huge reach in the draft or a bad signing like Matt Flynn, we were kinda doomed.

2010 the only quarterback not named Sam Bradford was jimmy clausen who was as we saw terrible.

I believe that had Jake Locker fallen to us at 10 last year we would have taken him and he would have been good for us but not great. He would be in the tier of players that include stafford, cutler,
Rivers, etc but never truly elite.

Thus by passing on the temptation of just getting the quarterback you think you need in the draft, we took Trent Williams and Ryan Kerrigan. Not bad at all...
