What is wrong with me wishing he had kept that pick and used it on a young player that could still be here and contribute to a future SB win?

Contrary to popular belief, the guy isn't the God of all GM's.

He's made mistakes before, and he'll make them again.

You have to be the homer of all homers to agree with everything an organization does. I'm sure Amnorix can tell you stories of times they thought Pioli made a mistake.

Say what?

That Pioli has a history of picking serviceable players in the late rounds, and that I prefer he kept that pick, instead of trading it for a LB that won't be on the roster in 2 years?

"Tom Brady"

Why not? It's a big crowd.

Start a Stafford/Sanchez thread and see what happens.

Who said anything about "finding our Brady?"

I'm just pointing out that Pioli has done a good job in the late rounds.

Missing out on say, a guy like Koppen (as an example) to trade for Vrabel frustrates the hell out of me.

The schmuck part was a joke.

And as I pointed out, I'm not expecting to find "Our Brady." My thoughts on that subject are well documented.

But I'd rather have the opportunity to draft a young player with potential, than to use that pick on an aging vet.

JMO.

His percentages ARE BETTER THAN ANYTHING we've had in.....evar!

He may have made a mistake, but I don't think that any of us should lose any sleep over a trade for a good veteran player for a draft pick that may or may not be in the later rounds of the draft. I mean we did just pick up 12 rookies in the draft last year.

He is the master of overexaggeration.

I'm not knocking the guy.

I just don't agree with this decision.

rad 02-27-2009 10:58 PM
As far as my take on the situation goes, I don't have one yet. I will wait and and see when the details come out to formulate my opinion. As far as speculation goes, if it's a 6 or 7, I'm OK with it then. I believe the residual effect of having a veteran presence on the field for a season or two will help our younger players when this team is ready to compete.

This is the thing that has been rolling over in my mind since hearing the word this morning about the trade.

No offense.
No, that's fine. If I wanted to hang out with nothing but Patriots fans, I obviously wouldn't be here. :D

Right, plus 3 completely wasted drafts under Grier. That was as bad as anything.
