Who is saying eschew the draft for free agency? In order to build a strong team we have to master BOTH avenues for acquiring players. So far, Shanahan has missed badly on two players, McNabb and Atogwe. Anyone else? You failed to mention the players we've added via free agency (Cofield, Bowen, Wilson) or via trade (Gaffney, Hightower, Carriker) that haven't been busts at all.

Here's a difficult reality you may need to come to terms with. Some professional athletes are assholes. Sometimes assholes are great players that can help your team win. If you want to root for choir boys then adopt your local Pop Warner team. Give me a talented prick over a polite loser. I'll be the first one posting hooray if we sign Desean Jackson because he represents the type of talent we haven't had on this team in decades. I'm not ignoring his flaws as a leader, just think we have enough character around him to keep him in line.

Since you mentioned whole other regime, then you should ignore the sins of front offices past when discussing the current offseason plan.

I'm a better talker than typer; I'll have a long thought in my head and then say about 3/4's of it and leave out some key words. Thats just a bad habit I have; My bad.

I love DeSean Jackson; I think he's a great player. Having said that he's also a diva and headcase. He also has character problems. Fat Albert was the same way; very talented, but also a headcase me me me kind of guy. The media just licks their chops when they get headcases like those two to talk about. I completely understand why you want DeSean. If the WR's weren't so good in the draft coming out, and we had a need, then yeah I'd get him, but there are some solid WR's in the draft, And even in FA, Marques Colston would be a better value in terms of production, character, teammate etc. You can win though with headcases just as much as you can win with the nice guys.
