I would like you to point to a franchise that has been 100% in every draft or free agency over a 3 year period. McQuistan is a solid depth guy, and Carpenter was a guy who was brought to fill a ROLE as well. He was brought to perform on Special Teams and he did not....they cut him. That happens on football teams. The decisions that build the foundation of a franchise are the high-commitment decisions like Brandon Marshall and Karlos Dansby...any complaints? The top 2 rounds in the NFL Draft as well...and we have gotten our starting QB, a star LT, a starting OLB (jury's out of course but not bad so far), lock down CB etc. Not to mention they have managed to get contributors from the 3rd rd and later who are still on the roster. The decision I criticize most is Pat White...his helmet and pads have looked too big for him since he was in college, so as WVU and his evil twin brother from another mother flynryan would say those ****ing idiots blew that ****. Also, trading Camarillo for Benny Sapp...********asscunts.
I will never fault them for experimenting with underachieving, once talented players to attempt to fill roles on special teams, and hopefully get an added bonus of depth if they can be late bloomers. You may have the delusion that acquiring talent in the NFL is as simple as it is in your couch potato fantasy football league, but unfortunately, as reality would have it...they must select from a limited pool and work under a budget...missing on low-risk talent is a given, missing on high-commitment talent ruins franchises. Credit them for not clinging to inept talent like past staffs, and securing the high quality talent available to us, something YOU of all people would appreciate...
