Not giving away all our draft picks like everyone seems to want to do
So giving up a 3rd and 6th is too much for Boldin?
it's probably an unpopular answer, but development of our young players IMO
So how do you allow Henne to develope without talent around him? Hartline looks decent, Bess is nice but really there's nothing else there. Making a trade for Boldin and drafting Dez is all about letting the young guys develope, there isn't 1 wr on the field 3/4/even 5 receiver sets allow all to still develope. Who's the most important young guy we have? C.Henne of course and we need to make sure he succeeds. Even signing a guy like A.Rolle helps our young CB's develope where they can actually have support, oh and Rolle is young too.
WHAT?!?!!??! You're telling me you want to develop our young players like every other elite team does!!!! That's arguably the dumbest ****ing thing I've heard yet.... Don't you know the way to build a franchise is giving away all your draft picks, preferably to over the hill, injury prone players, and signing every single FA available?? So clueless
So signing an ILB and FS is going crazy, wow I apologize for going clueless. I thought signing J.Smiley, R.Starks, C.Pennington, N.Jones, R.Torbor, C.Anderson, Francis, G.Wilson, J.Groves D.Bess and trading picks for McDaniel, Fasano, Ayodele, Ferguson etc.... we're good moves. It's too bad that G.Wilson and E.Wilford didn't work out but atleast they tried.
All top end teams still use FA to shore up the leaks, some even trade picks to improve....imagine that! I wonder where N.O. would be today if not for signing D.Brees, D.Sharper, P.Thomas and J.Greer......and don't forget about they traded for Shockey and Vilma. But you keep piping up about trades and FA signings!
I don't know if you actually read my post or if you are just going off but I personally think it's very doable and not over the top, but what do I know?
