No doubt about it, and I can't argue with that. I wasn't pissed off by the 30 year pattern then, because it was only a 20 year pattern.
But they didn't have that defense, they threw a first at Trent Green and signed a bunch of veterans. I loved DV at the time, but he didn't like rookies or kickers.
Heck, they didn't even take a first or second round pick that one year, maybe two, but Junior Siavii was a feel good story.
I hated Herm Edwards, but his picks are the reason this team is as good as it is right now.
What was DV's/Carl's first move? Trading a first for a recycled QB.
*****/Haley? Trading a high second (34) for a recycled QB.
Reid/Dorsey? Trading a high second (34+?) for a recycled QB.
I don't even want to rehash the Bono, Grbac etc. moves.
Oh yeah, they are going to do it next year for sure!
