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

He just go injured reading your praise of him. Out 2-4 weeks.

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 know if you are talking to me or the other guy.

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.

We needed a youth movement, but I don't agree with the "total" part.

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

True, he couldnt coach, develop or get the players that were needed for a youth movement...

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

Where's the kcbubb is dumb and DaKCMan AP is Awesome option?

They are stop gap players to fill voids from where Herm failed to address those spots properly..

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!

But we have Croyle and Thigpen, Oh and Claythans and Hooties love stud Huard...

that sounds like the Carl Peterson method to me.

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.

why not try to fill them now??? is engram or thomas going to be here next year? why wait?

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.

Where are you going to get those players? off the street?

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.
