I guess you are in the "too early to tell" camp. :D

AirChambers84 said:we replaced Ferrotte with Culpepper, Rosenfels with Harrington, T. Jones with Hill, Schulters with Allen, Ricky with Suggs, Diamond with Peele, Wright with Wilkinson, Madison with Allen, Howard with Goodman, Gilmore with Hagan, Anderson with McKinney, Seau with Newman, McIntosh with Shelton............. there that should fix this thread.
BlaznRoarn said:With evans and roth improving i see the DL being much better. I also believe Ronnie Brown will be a huas this year. Culpepper also played one of the better Defenses and i think he played well until the 4th i believe by week 3 or 4 he will have gelled alot better with our WR's
Phanatical said:"So do you think all of those moves are upgrades in your opinion? "
"You can't be serious."
"Oh I don't see how you can honestly think those are all upgrades. "
"Come on, you even have a guy riding the bench as an upgrade. "
"Geez, that is homer thinking if I ever seen it. LOL."
AirChambers84 said:I didnt say anyone one replacement was an upgrade or not, that is for everyone to decide for themselves. :rolleyes2
Aqua4Ever04 said:Yeah that little add is just a bit important. I've seen 3 or 4 threads where all you have done is dog Pep. All I'm saying is give him more than 1 game for crying out loud. And to say he is a down grade behind Frerotte, WOW!:eek:
MastR_EvaluatoR said:Our secondary was slow last year with Madison, Shulters and Howard back there.. This year they are faster and quicker. Renaldo Hill is faster than anyone we had there the last couple of years.
The mistakes they are making now are mental mistakes.. When they get the coverages down then this will be an upgrade by midseason to the end of the year. Book it .
The only real downgrade is the right guard spot. You are forgetting that Carey is better this year as I am sure James and Hadnot will be in a few more games.. And with Jacox inserted over Anderson, this will probably be an upgrade, even if slightly
And how can you say the D-line is a push when we added Wilkinson and the emergence of Fred Evans down the middle ?? Thats an upgrade my friend
Phanatical said:Guess you can't read too well. I said "probably an upgrade' but to this point, his performance was a downgrade. Don't know what game you were watching, but under 50% completions, a QB rating of 49, and a pick returned for 7 was a pitiful performance.
Canadianfishfan said:Thats not how it reads.
PSMITH said:Last years rookies and other young players all have a year more of NFL experience than they did last year, which makes them an upgrade. Brown, Crowder, Roth, and Daniels should all be much better this year, agreed?
Now on the other side of the coin, all of the veterans are a year older. But is there really enought difference between 31 and 32 to make it a downgrade. I don't think so.
So, overall, I would say we have upgraded.
