You think we have a better chance WITHOUT the second round pick?

I hope we can get a 2nd rounder for JC somehow...

as for "Every team signs veterans", I guess you see youth in our backfield huh? CP, LJ, and FWP i'm sure will make up the oldest HB trio this season. (lol, FWP! I wonder if the F part is still accurate)

The corner we picked up from the Lions ain't no spring chicken either. He's my age, older than any of the other CBs. Kemoeatu is 31 too, not old for a NT, but 8 years in the front line is no walk in the park. Then there's McNabb and his injuries. Grossman, Ryan, Hicks... I don't think we've signed anyone under 30 but Willie Parker!?!!

The part that kills me is that if/WHEN McNabb gets hurt, next up to bat is a guy who's best season is worse than Jason campbell's WORST season, who has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns, and isn't as mobile. A pocket QB with no pocket... Hmm...

I take it you're a glass half empty kinda guy. Am I right?
