  1. I agree that signing big-name players to big $$ contracts is not the best way to go. We need 2-3 successful, deep drafts over the next few years to get back to that hi-caliber D and consistent O that we need to get into the playoffs. I think it will take at least 2 drafts to fill all the gaps and repair the turnovers we have now. But this next one is critical; hit it, and we're on our way back. Miss it, and we start to look like Cleveland or Jax.

  2. This off-season, we best be drafting new CB's & Safeties in the top rounds. Looks like the Pearl Harbor Crew out there, getting shelled throughout the game. Along with that, I agree with others calling for new leadership in the secondary and WR coaching level. It's not like we don't have quality players' they're just not playing at the level they need to and should. That's a coaching issue.

  3. I don't think this will be a major negative on his future - he's not a runner like RG3, and he's experienced at his position, so he's got a benchmark to shoot for. Assuming Joe's contract negotiations go well and #'s get adjusted accordingly, we could see this upcoming draft as a pivotal one for the next few years. If we have a good draft at a high ranking each round, we could shore up poor areas and develop a solid nucleus for the next few seasons - maybe even a return to playoffs within the year. We'll have more cap space, better players to choose from, and a chance to both be young and good. Make the most of this sucky season and get good quickly.

  4. Doesn't seem too difficult. Assume Perriman is a bust. Assume SSS is done. Rebuild from the ground up with a combo of GOOD(!) drafts along with a FA or 2. It's not like the freezer's full of food now as it is. So if either of the first two don't turn out bad (Perriman actually plays, SSS comes back for a season), you now have depth where you only had crumbs before. This will definitely be Ozzie's legacy - either he gets it right and we're back in business, or he whiffs again, and he's easily one of the first firings after another dismal season.
