When Belichick trades for trash like Haynesworth in hopes of a career renaissance it's hailed as brilliant. When we pick guys off the scrap heap in hopes of that they will have a career renaissance, it's "a waste of a roster space". |
That was one of the best things Ive read on this site in a while, but in order to make a brilliant "move", you have to have a brilliant "coach". One, say, that doesnt have the following stat attached to his hall of fame career maybe?
On the other hand, there’s this: if he fails to do so this year (highly likely after the last two games), Mike Shanahan will have only won a division title in 3 of the 18 seasons in which he was head coach.
