Z2C, when I typed "Jus' sayin'", it should have been obvious that I meant,
"While I am a committed and ofttimes outspoken supporter of Ted Thompson, sometimes I wish he were a little less frugal with money and draft picks, and a little more receptive to the concepts of player trades and free agency."
Not my fault you didn't get it. Sheesh.
Anyway, yes; that was my point. If we were destined to suck this year, then I wouldn't have
any problem, really, with bringing in developmental guys. But, here we sit, one of maybe a half-dozen teams with realistic Superbowl aspirations; and we just lost our starting running back and a big piece of our d-line rotation. And these are the replacements? Our depth isn't
that good.
I'm glad we don't have a knee-jerk, panic-driven GM, but I'm just a little disappointed that we didn't do more. I'll bet we could have traded Bishop (or Hawk) for a quality player...
