Surtain…….when he first got here, he did pretty good for us I thought. Maybe I was wrong. Leggeitt is better and seemed to prove it down the line. I am looking forward to see what he does next year.

Damon did a decent job for us some times, but he is getting old and, you have to admit, he got the shit beat out of him by our non-blocking offensive line.

Good riddance Merritt. Did he even play once this past year?

Donnie leaving sucks and is sad considering the player he was.

NO ADAM! I would rather have your comments to our rantings than wait for a post that may not come for a couple of days. I am getting old and don’t want to have to go back to see what comment you are lambasting me for!! LOL!

I don’t like Stafford with our #3 pick, but if he were there, I would not be upset if we took him. He was at least the second rated QB on most analists boards before the draft door closed. But Sanchez was projected to be the fifth or sixth best QB that could come out this year. Then a bunch of underclassmen return to school, he has a good bowl game and bam! we’re talking about picking him at #3. Howabout we shore up our defense and OL this year, then pick up one of the guys that were consistently ranked ahead of him all year, next year. Sanchez would likely ride the bench while he matures anyway, and if there are three good QB’s next year, we could snag one even if we had a winning record. I don’t think Thigpen is Mr. Right, but if we can be patient enough to wait for our potential HOF QB, he might be Mr. right now.

Assuming we switch 1st rounders. Like your plan.

Let me just say that I have been following/reading this site for a while now, and this thread finally motivated me to sign in and comment. Keep up the good work AA!

I have to agree with Baldy, it certainly was not Thiggy that lost us games down the stretch, and the kid played with so much heart that I would argue that he was the reason we were in so many games. Is he going to be a 10 year starter for us? No. Can he be a killer change of pace backup, that when called upon is going to play his ass off and give D’s a different look? Hell Yes.

My personal blueprint has us trading for Alex Brown, signing Channing Crowder, drafting Rey M. so that all three can compliment DJ. I think Alex can play either D End or OLB depending on whether we go to a 3-4 or not.

With the additional cap space that we just created I think that 1 or 2 OL positions will be addressed in FA.

One other note: The Michael Vick campaign died when The Pioli Trinity came to be. It’s dead because it no longer makes sense. I made this clear some time ago.

By the way, this comment thread just went gold (50, let’s see if we can take it platinum (100). Even if we have to make it a “Yay! Surtain is gone” thread. No more tuck drill with Damon Huard either. Donnie will be missed, though.
