What are you...complimenting....Cerrato....backstabbing Vinny? What about Ochocinco, Jay Cutler, Mark Sancehz. Not that all of those deals wouldn't have been great for us, but these were guys that Vinny was offering in some cases 2 first round picks. Now lets look at the guys you've listed.
Boldin - Yeah it sucks that we missed out on him, but part of the reason we couldn't afford him was because Vinny drafted Jarmon. At that point you have to give up your second round pick to beat the Ravens offer, which in our case was used to get McNabb. Would you rather have Boldin or McNabb?
T.O. - McNabb and T.O, great that they buried the hatchet but they're not exactly friends (watch them interact on the T.O show). This would have been a ticking time bomb.
TJ - Wanted him, but the Ravens are a stable team that is projected to compete for the Super Bowl this year.
And saying that our front office can't make a deal is quite ballsy if you ask me. This is the same front office that traded for a pro bowl tackle, and snatched away a franchise QB from a division rival for chump change. They also got a solid former first round pick for a 5th rounder in Carriker and drafted a future pro bowler at LT.
And to think they did all this in one offseason. We already have two pro bowl pass catchers on the roster, do we really need a third one to win? It's week 1 of the season, and we just came out of our first week in a new offense while facing a tough Dallas defense. Once McNabb get's up to speed on the offense suddenly it will look like we're deep at receiver. At this point Vincent Jackson is a 'nice to have' not a necessity.
Now lets go eat a God damn snack.
