a problem at nickel corner is not near as important as a problem at NT

when you have 2 nts sitting in your lap in the 2nd round of a strong draft you don't draft a nickle cb (who was a reach anyways)

these decisions haunt us....

Just for the sake of your case, can you post the highlight videos that you're referring too so we can all see what the fuss is about?

The one and only year Carl delivered and gave us a SB competitive team.

And that is sad.

It is sad both in how long it's been and sad in the fact that we've been unable to replicate it...

You can't say that with absolute certainty.

At least this year, they took playmakers.

We'll see how it pays off in 2010 and beyond.

Quarterback was the least of the worries at that point. So was slot receiver, especially after signing Urban.

I understand that the kid is dynamic, presents an "uncatchable" force on the outside in a multi-receiver/back set, but for Christ's sake, how about getting a situation established where the core of the team, offense or defense is established before we start picking toys that we play with 15% of the time at max in a game. ****!

If we want to take a ****ing receiver at that point, how about Damian Williams, who is also a solid return guy, and at 6'1", 200 lbs., he's also a sure handed, legit #2 receiver. ****!

I like how two years in a row they have totally went against the draft board. Not to mention the franchise crippling trade last year for that worthless dog shit Cassel.

I've had a wonderful decade of Gunther and Grbac, Vermeil and Robinson, Vermeil and Gunther, Herm and Gunther. Carl finally leaves and I get Haley (who I like) and Cassel (who I don't).

I don't have a Montana to look back upon.

If you watched ESPN's draft coverage Arenas was prominently featured in both McCluster and Shipley's highlight vids getting his ass beat.

They don't go against their own draft board, though. Its just that Pioli's draft board doesn't seem to take into account value of any kind. Pioli identifies players that he likes and he gets those players. If it means taking a nickle/dime CB/return man in the second round then so be it. Its a strategy that is abhorrent to me but that's his thing.
