re: So our past few offseasons have just been absolutely terrible

i said our defensive rookies better pan out from day 1 or our D will be a shite show. that's not dismissing our rookies and it directly addressed them as assets

maybe but you can say that about most players drafted in rounds 1 and 2. Of course we're needing anthony and kikaha to pan out. Most teams need their high draft picks to pan out.

any productive replacement player will cost that "saved" cap, so this argument is pointless (unless we can somehow start drafting well with impact rookies and never re-sign them to big deals. then you have a point)

but they are nickels on the dollars in year one when structured right, see byrd's deal in yr 1. We're really not in need of any major replacements at this time anyways.

i mean this sounds cool and all but our division was one of the worst in modern NFL history. if we were good, we should have run away with it. saying he could have pushed us to the lead of a historically bad division isn't saying much on his behalf

byrd was playing better and his downfall led to our secondary becoming a shite show. Vaccaro played injured all year as well.


Listen your thread sounds cool and all and you think you have a bunch of rational original thoughts, but the same pessimistic arse saints fans coming here at the opportunity to piss on a parade which you acting like you already know the results of these moves made is fricking tiring. You just gonna see the piss side of every move made, go frick off and be a falcons fan. Sure the gallete deal sucks but it was necessary and at this point makes us a better football team.

Jimmy trade was definitely a game changer but his resigning didn't hurt us. Anything else you're whining about, A) You don't know everything front office knows and B) Its seeking an opportunity to piss on the organization you are pretending to be a fan of.
