We traded one cheap and solid dlineman for a mediocre receiver because he allegedly didn't fit in our system.... Yet we sign a dlineman who doesn't fit our system

Am I the only one shaking my head here?
You aren't waiting on a move that makes sense, you're waiting on boneheaded FA moves we've done all so many times. It's not your fault, Vinny conditioned the fan base to come to expect those types of FA blunders. These moves make great sense. Three rookie WRs and a shortened off-season for them to learn the offense. Why do you think he's bringing in guys that know the system?

Jarmon solid? What part of his game so far makes him solid? Because Vinny pissed away a 3rd rounder for him? He doesn't fit this system and getting and getting a productive WR was a steal for us.

The only guys that would be shaking their head right now is Vinny. We'd signed 4 out the 5 top free agents and overpaid as normal. Good thing those days are long gone. It'll be ok bro, lots of trash to still clean up around here. Give them time.

Getting Yanda would have been a big move that would have made sense. I think people expected something like this or a move to get a QB. I doubt any knowledgeable fan would expect Vinny-esque FA moves. There is still plenty of time to get a starting guard, hopefully sign J. Brown, and get a NT (Jenkins).

Yanda had no intentions of leaving Baltimore and we were in on the bidding for him. You don't think paying a OG to the tune of 8 -9 mil per season isn't Vinnyesque? We tried and he decided to stay home. What QB you want us to go get? Spend more draft picks on another QB like we did McDummy? We tried Lienart and they even looked into getting Orton. Relax bro, Brown and Jenkins are still being negotiated. We don't bid against ourselves anymore.

good points -- I'll be honest and say I'm not really behind all these WR signings but if it works out then all the better

I like the barrage of wr's. Rice and Holmes were the only FA wr's I was excited about and both are gone (and Holmes even took less money to stay with Jets than leave). I think wr's more than any position in the NFL is dependent on their system and QB. I say bring in a hundred and keep the top 6. Especially when your not giving them big signing bonuses (or none in a lot of these cases).
