I think Shanahan dropped the ball on Thomas, but only time will tell. My question for discussion is do you think we are on the right path?

I think the skins have a problem. Davis should see more balls come his way. Galloway should not be here at all. I happy we are winning but I do question the motives of staff. What do you think?
As for Lloyd, it is not as if he left us and immediately set the NFL on fire elsewhere. There was a gap of more than 2 years when he didn't do much of anything. So my question to you is, how many years should a player (who is not a developing rookie) wastefully occupy a valuable roster spot?

Re: Does our Front Office make the right decisions?

I held out hope forever on Brandon Lloyd. When it comes to it, sometimes I think situation is just as important for players as skill. Especially at positions like WR. I kinda wish I had a time machine and I could put players on different teams and see how their careers pan out.

Just like work environment for us. If you've been in a work environment that doesn't suit your skills -- then it's had to perform up to your capabilities.

What does Brandon Lloyd have to do with Allen and Shanahan?

Absolutely nothing.

Re: Does our Front Office make the right decisions?

Lloyd is on his 2nd team since leaving here. It's only taken him 8 years to get on track. How long should we have held on to him??

Re: Does our Front Office make the right decisions?

Only time will tell if our new FO is worth a damn. 5 games in isn't a long enough time frame to even really ask the question this thread asks. So far they have made decent decisions for the predicament they were cast into, which is a team short on depth and overall talent. Were they the right ones? We will find out at the end of the season and over the next 2-3 seasons.

That's true. There are many more decisions to be made, decisions that can only be judged over time and we've had the opportunity to witness either their success or their failure.

So you don't think the coaches could watch them in practice and then in preseason. Both players knew what was on the line.

Were Shanny and Allen supposed to extend the hours of a day, or of a game so they could get more of a shot?

I think the fact that they had an entire off season with the team, and the fact they each of them was given at least one game as a starter in the preseason means they did get a true opportunity.

Not everyone can work out. Theyre supposed to take their chances when they had them and all signs point to them not doing that. Not to mention that they were both up there in age.


This is really a lame thread and an even worse example (Brandon Lloyd)
