And where exactly do you think they are going to find these young building blocks?

I'd rather drive with a couple of half bald Uniroyals than two new tires fresh off the boat from /enter third world country here.

I don't like a lot of what Herm did, but I would rather have younger players than older ones on a bad team. At least I can see who may turn into a player and who may not and try to build roster. Is Engram or Thomas going to be here next year??? If not, then what good are they 3 years from now??? |

Herm's "way" was what the franchise needed -- a total youth movement. The problem was that Herm specifically couldn't coach at all.

A mix of vet. and youth is what every team needs. Always playing for today, yet looking toward the future. |

I especially enjoyed Herms philosophy of rebuilding a team without a QB the best.

Herm failed, Pioli and Haley are patching it to try and make it work. He left this team so full of holes, it will take 3 years to address everything Herm tried to address and EPICALLY FAILED! |

I think that when you reasonably believe that you will suck that you need to go with all young guys. if you have a competitive team, then you can sign some older free agents to fill the holes. |

that's my point, why not try to find a guy that can fill those spots that could have a future and then you may have one less hole to fill or maybe even a little depth if you have to upgrade. |

Dude, kcbubb, this team was a giant shit sandwich. The vets are not here to make a superbowl run. They were brought in totemporarily fill holes until we can get a building block or two in here. Looking at who else they could have had, in most cases (except maybe Engram) you can see that they wanted a couple vets with leadership than some worthless Sammy Parker-esque scrub that we could have brought in. They're both unlikely to be around after next year anyway.
