Re: How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

If the FO didn't want to be scrutinized then they should not have given away multiple draft picks for a player that they might only get 2 seasons out of (we got 1 BTW). They shouldn't have wasted a Draft pick on a punter when there were still quality LB's left in the draft. They should have picked up at least 1 DE instead of two WR's and a TE. Hell, I am sure that we could have squeezed in another Olineman too. We had 10 picks (at one point) last year and addressed 2 basic positions (Pass catcher and Safety). Sprinkle in a OG, QB, and P and walla...we didn't do squat. Then we give away 2 picks in the same year for a guy that lasts one. It crippled us. We needed a big FA period this season... and no they haven't done enough. And you guys think that the FO is damned if they do, or damned if they don't? Get real, they keep putting the team in bad situations with bad decisions. The one time that they had a good situation, they screwed it up big time. |

Now I think you're bringing up an issue (giving up picks for Taylor) that has nothing to do with what's being discussed. Yes, giving up a two draft picks (well I think of it as one pick, b/c the other pick is not that valuable) for Jason Taylor was a mistake, big deal, get over it, complaining about it is not going to bring those two picks back. The issue at hand is that people are complaining that our two WRs did not have Pro Bowl stats in their first year. Which is ridiculous to expect this, given that most players need time to develop. My whole point is, if you mention the words "let's build through the draft" don't turn around and rant that Kelly and Thomas need to be cut b/c they didn't produce their first year.

We all want to build through the draft, but at the same time we want to stay competitive within the division. As soon as it was apparent that we were not going to be doing much building due to lack of picks, then the focus should have shifted to FA acquisitions. The quality was there with Hall, Haynesworth, and Dockery. The quantity was not because we still have needs that have not and will not be addressed, even after the draft. I am not even talking about the WR's needing to step up or flop or anything else. I was addressing the duality of fans. I just explained why sometimes they bitch about the FO not keeping draft picks; and why they bitch when they don't go hard in Free Agency. This year we had no picks, therefore we should have hit FA hard...3 players is not hard when you let more than that walk away and you had a full draft worth of needs before hand. |
