Perennial All-Pro
There are going to be some big changes it looks like.
Last offseason, Saban didnt have have the luxury of having a year under his belt- and based personnel decisions solely on what he saw on tape and what guys like Rick Spielman told him.
But that wont be the case this offseason.
Chris Chambers needs to be restructured or traded. Ive been saying it for years that this guy is inconsistant, but people always liked to use the "well he would be better if Fiedler wasnt throwing the ball."
It wasnt until this week, where he was thrown under the bus, that his inconsistency was finally exposed.
I also believe that Jason Taylor will be outta here next year as well. If a trade happens for Philip Rivers- he will be thrown into the deal. If not, I believe Rivers will be a Jet.
As for Sam Madison and Zack Thomas, I think they will retire as Dolphins.
But most importantly we need a QB, and then a good (not decent) WR for him to throw to. Marty Booker I believe is our best WR right now, and he will eventually pass Chambers on the depth chart.
We need A LOT of help on defense though. Our guys are old, and our secondary is weak.
This is why I doubt Saban will trade a lot of draft picks to move up for a guy like Leinart. Maybe if we are bad enough the rest of the year- we can get Leinart by default. He is the real deal.
A lot of you seem to think that we were destined to go to the playoffs this year because of all our 'talent.' Sorry but the talent isnt there.
We have a mediocre QB, decent WRs, an overachieving offensive line, two great RBs, and old defensive line, fairly old LBs, and a stinky secondary. But this team continues to play their hearts out every week, and that is a sign of GREAT coaching. Just imagine the possibilities when we actually have good players that are playing with the same intensity as these bad players.
Dont get too upset about this team, because over the years- its going to look a lot different.
