Also don't take this as me thinking they need to sign any big free agents. They didn't.

However, there were and still are free agents out there that would really help, and I will never have a problem with them thinking they can develop an cultivate the talet on the roster to a higher level.

But that's a lot of pressure on young guys.

Oh, I know they believe they can. They have no business being in their jobs if they don't think they can win each and every year.

It's not about them believing. It's about us believing.

I don't see anything right now that suggests they'll repeat what they did last year, let alone improve on it. I could always be wrong, of course.

I can't believe any human being would defend signing Dunta Robinson.

I watch a lot of Falcons football and Dunta was DONE last year.

Dorsey got extremely lucky that Marcus Cooper fell in his lap...otherwise, Dunta might have cost us the playoffs.

I don't think they think (what?) they can't, but they're banking on young mostly unproven guys putting them over the hump.

That's a lot to ask, but I do think we probably have the coaching staff in place to develop them.

That's definitely the good thing about Andy Reid.

I just hope it doesn't turn out like Marty. I see A LOT of similarities...

He did cost us the playoffs.

Except Andy is a good playoff coach.

Luckily, I think Reid's offensive philosophy is more conducive with the current rules etc to be successful.

However, unless our dc improves or our defense improves, we are in trouble

I didn't defend it, but I had a better expectation out of him. Probably because I didn't know how much he had regressed the past few seasons and I remember him being pretty good back in the day. Plus he wasn't starting, so I was hoping maybe he'd be a good veteran filler player to have. Boy was I wrong....

Our cap situation and age was disastrous. What Dorsey inherited is nothing close to the shit show Kuharich inherited. In that case the best option was to hack the team apart. The chiefs right now are not nearly as old and have some very favorable cap years coming up.

I think we still have a lot of talent on the team from last year. We have a QB who we can believe in, finally.
Vance Walker is a big upgrade from Tyson Jackson IMO.

Of course there are unknowns, and we do play a harder schedule, but I think we will be in the playoff race.

I'll have to see the draft that we have. I really do think we can get 2 or 3 players from this draft to come in and play immediately..and play well.

Nobody is defending Dunta Robinson dumbass.

They needed a CB and he was the best option. It turned out to be a bad move. They moved on.

And I think they will draft another CB in May.

Agreed. Who do you want us to draft with our first and second round picks? Or at least what positions do you want them to draft? I don't know a lot of players in the draft, but I would really really love to see us nab a good TE early in this draft. Even moreso than WR I think.

Hahahahaha

Yeah, dunta wasn't the best option available.

He was available though
