Personally, i don't think we should draft a QB this April, daddy. The way i see it, were not very far from becoming a good team, a very competitive team, and waiting for a rookie QB to develop doesn't make sense to me.
Can you imagine just just how good our young defense would have been if they weren't on the field so much this past season? Other than Terdell, who we MUST sign and start every game, everybody is signed and coming back, on defense.
I think we should get rid of Brooks as fast as humanly possible and sign a veteran QB like Byron Leftwich or Damon Huard.
As for the draft, i think we should trade down and pickup a couple of promising o-lineman, I'd go with a tackle first. Having said that, i don't think the 72 sacks were all on the o-line, not even close. A smart QB and a better game plan would have eliminated close to half of them, in my opinion.
I think Gallery should be left at one position for a period of time, be it LT or RT, just leave the kid there and give him a chance to learn. I actually like the kids we have on the line, especially Booth at RG. The big oaf (Langston Walker) isn't coming back and that's just fine with me, dude played with no passion and i can't stand that.
I also think we should dump Lamont, freeing up 5 million bucks and start ReShard Lee. Dude is a much better all around back than Jordan, in my opinion. Hey, he actually knows how to pass block.
Hopefully Carlos Francis can make it through a training camp this year, I'd like to see him and Johnnie Morant become our 3rd and 4th receivers with Porter and Curry starting, maybe we can still get something for Moss.
Alvis has to leave the building, in my opinion.
We'll talk later about the glory days, I'm running out of time now.
