Well here I go again. Why do I have to be the one to rain on the parade??
Guys we have picked up Junior Seau. Other than that we really have not done anything. Especially in addressing the area of need for this team. We have not signed Sammy Knight or Brian Griese. As of now my off season grade is a C-. Prior to Seau it was a D-.
As nice as it is to have Seau and even Knight, it doesn't solve our severe deficiency in the passing game. We still have no WR to offset Chambers. Thompson has not proven anything yet. His stats ar eno better than McNights and we still have not solved the O Line problem. If Griese comes in we may have a solution to the QB problem. If so, my grade goes to B-.
The defense was in the top 3, the running game near the top, the passing game almost at the bottom.
I am sorry, but to ask me to get excited about these draft picks is a little much. More often than not they do not make it. To expect that Moore, Tolver, Smith, and Lee are all going to be hits is far fetched.
So I am still waiting for us to get better in the areas we need. Until then I am holding fast to my C- grade.
I will enjoy being wrong about all of this if it plays out that way.

A month or so back, my patience slowly started to fade as well as my confidence in D.W and R.Spiel. We lost out on Gandy and said publicly we were not interested in Junior Seau.I wrote a post that I did not think we were aggressive enough in trying to upgrade this team at certain positions.(I am a Wann/Spiel fan). Now a few months later, we are on the verge of the biggest off-season in phins history. Not only did we sign Seau,we also picked Thompson,Buckley,Zgonia and are on the verge of signing Knight and Griese(fingers crossed) We also signed C.Rogers and have both Newsom and Baker playing well in Europe. All these signings were great additions as well as cap friendly. Kudos to the front office for a great start to this phin season............a lot more to go I hope!!!!!! Now if we can just stay off our coach's and G.M's back,(myself included) let's sit back and watch them try to finish what they have started. Also the draft we had seems to look better everyday..........Moore,Tolliver etc.
