What happens this off season in the draft and free agency could very well help or hurt this team and the franchise going forward. I kind of smell a sense of urgency that hasn't been there for a while factoring in the window gradually closing in on Drew's playing days and Benson's declining health and family troubles. I believe in the very near future we will see this as a make or break offseason for this franchise for years to come. We can't afford the kind of decision making in draft choices and free agency that we have done in the recent past. Every choice now is crucial.

Don't forget Payton making much need coaching changes. I hope every one of those guys is hungry next year.

You could very well be right.

Not a fan of re-signing Fairley, getting Warford, Ginn, Klein, Teo, Okafor, Moore, Cadet, and Tapp?
I thought Rankins, Thomas, Bell, Onyourmama, and Lasco was a good draft. Why so sour?

You had me until you said Cadet. Why did you say Cadet? Why did we resign Cadet?

Also, just Onyomama man. Get some slang in it.

I think the staff has done a fairly good job of offseason moves this year. What I was referring to was the past few offseason moves and picks. It obvious with the move from Greenbrier and coaching changes along with the recent signings there is a bit more of a sense of urgency. I just believe that the team and the franchise is approaching a crossroad for reasons I previously pointed out. Just an opinion.

Because Marcus Murphy can't field a kick without fumbling.

I mean I would go Onyourmama too there. But us Gen-xers have a hard time adapting to text speak admittedly.

Can't read past this blanket statement. Not sure how it differs from any other draft in that aspect. They're all important, and all shape the future of a team. Dumb opening line.

I tried to clarify my (opening line)further in my post for those like yourself with comprehension issues. Sorry if you don't get what I was driving at.

Idk about make or break the franchise.


But I do think it will make or break our playoff chances for the remainder of Drew's career here.
