leadership is usually set by example and it's tough for guy's to be leader's when they haven't really accomplished that much, as well they are not as talented IMO as the player's they will be providing leadership for, as well as MCcant's has been around almost as long as gardner, and from what I saw from gardner on the field last season I can't say that I really wan't him influencing our youngster's, thrash has never impressed me as a guy who can be a #3 on a championship type team, he's a 4 or 5 at best, he can very easily be replaced, Gibb's has a way of making star's out of castoff's, we'll find someone to replace thrash at the very least, I aslo wouldn't be surprised to see an unknown step up and have a nice year for us under Gibb's, IM not saying this is the only scenerio to grab a #1 and a #2 this year but it is a possibility, my thought here is do what you have to do to get those pick's this year, if we can do it and keep thrash, great, but I wouldn't waver in giving him up to get back into the first rd and second rd. with the talent that is out there this year.
