We had Ireland and Ross telling us before free agency that we were going to be real aggressive and Ross was saying how money is no object ..blah blah blah. And what has been our biggest signing? Artis Hicks? Richard Marshall? Please. We haven't added anyone who has any real good talent. It's the same old story with us. A lot of talk but very little action.
 
I guess you were playing Madden again and eanted to sell the farm on Manning, Overpay for Flynn, and set us back actually ANOTHER 10 years by being desperate?

No thanks, they've done fine.

Stop listening to the media that always love the splashy singings.
 
I don't care if we didn't get Manning, but what about going hard after a top flight WR? (especially after trading away Brandon Marshall). What about the good passrusher? We let the best ones sign elsewhere without making much of a push at all. The draft is NOT going to solve all of our issues, we'll be lucky if it takes care of half of the holes we need to fill.
 
Richard Marshall was a very good signing, but I could care less about artis hicks, I hear ya though its tough to sit back and watch us not make any moves, we just dont have the money to spend, I'm sure if we had $40 million in capspace like the Bucs did we would make some moves.

We have actually LOST more talent in Bell and Langford than we have gained...

Who was the top flight WR? Vincent Jackson was the best on the market. Now he may or may not be a legit #1, but he ain't a top 10 WR, IMO.

Who else was left, Mario Manningham? Laurent Robinson at #1 money? No thanks.

Ireland has made a lot of mistakes (We could have, and probably should have signed Winston for one), but I honestly don't think there were any top flight WRs to get this year.

Obviously your comments are sensible and logical. Fans want to emulate the success of the Giants, Packers, Patriots etc etc etc. What i thought was obvious by now is part of those teams success(secret) is not going crazy in FA. In addition, very few team that do go crazy in FA have short(see philly) and subsequently long term success.

Even with this established fact fans are extremely disappointed we didn't get most of the available FAs on the market instead of trusting the process. Obviously this FO and all its predecessors should have invested heavily in the Qb position drafting 1 or even 2 each season until that position was solidified. It seems to be the one position in football more so than any other that elimanates the need to be perfect or abvoe average in other position on the team( Didn't P.Manning make that very same 2-14 team competitive every season?) to win and sometimes big

Simple really....

Yeah sorry man but your lack of football knowledge is showing. You might want to cover that up
 
They have to build this team through the draft. That will take a couple of years. You can't fix everything in one FA period.

I hate to make comments like this, but some dolfans need to relax. Give this new coach a chance to implement his system with his players. You can't just jump into free agency and pick up guys because of their names.

I loved B.Marshall, but he is not the kind of receiver that Philbin prefers (I'm just going on his previous drafts and receivers and the WCO ideal WR). You need fast, crisp disciplined route runners. Marshall is a beast, but his routes are not that great and he does drop a lot of passes. Could we have asked for more in return? sure, but after he allegedly punched another woman would you give up anything more than 2 third rounders???

As for that whole trade to Philly BS that was floating around here earlier, please. It is already bad enough with how much credence we give the biased, unreliable and agenda filled media, now we have fans listening to a guy who calls himself incarcerated bob. Seriously, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
 
If we have a losing season this year, then sign a GM with a respected football background from miami.

I remember having that conversation 4 years ago in 2008.
