Hey i did not say its ok to overpay for anyone. but assuming that we will with cerrato running things all i am saying is that allen would have the biggest impact. believe i rather draft a person at any position. we have plenty of talent and if it was up to me i wouldnt sign any big name guys and just have a good draft. building through the draft is key.

Funny how when we overpay for certain guys and they work out that DS and the FO don't get credit for that.

Even in this scenario, if you overpay for someone who "works out" -- you've still OVERPAID for him.

Funny how Lil' Danny still has his rabid defenders with that sparkling 50-62 record.

If you're going to keep pulling that 50-62 argument out every other week you should at least get the numbers right

How are those numbers wrong?

1999 -- Casserly's team, I don't count that
2000 -- 8-8
2001 -- Marty's year, not counting that either
2002 -- 7-9
2003 -- 5-11
2004 -- 6-10
2005 -- 10-6
2006 -- 5-11
2007 -- 9-7

Grand total = 50-62

Well if you're going to just make up your own rules and decide when he "didn't count" as an owner then I guess there's just no arguing with you.

Ok then, how would YOU total up his record?

What's your objection to my discounting of 1999 when the team was already assembled and 2001 when he had no say over team personnel?

Wow! Talking about skewed. You're just going to pick and choose which seasons to count and which to not? By your logic, we should also not count 2004 - 2007. After all to suggest that Gibbs didn't have at least the majority of the say over personnel is just not paying attention.

*Sigh.*

If you take away the years of 2004-07, the record is 28-36 (or 38-42 if you count Casserly's '99 team.) Any way you slice it, it's a less than enthusing track record.

But go ahead, go on and tell us how Lil' Danny walks on water and gives presents to starving children every Christmas while off duty as the best owner in the history of sports.
