To not mention Walls, who would have started over Herndon last season if he hadn't got hurt, is just pitiful. Middlebrooks is missing from that discussion too. It's not all rookies like Gretz implies.
The "Shanahan is desperate" schtick has almost become cliche this offseason. Desperate coaches do not trade out of the 1st for future picks, they're going to try for all the help they can get.

I hate to say it, but I agree with everything you said. Every coach takes a chance on a guy or couple of guys who've not lived up to the first round draft pick expectations of their previous team. Case in point, Eddie Kennison & Freddie Mitchell.
I never heard exactly what happened to Walls until you said it, but I'd assumed Herndon had just outplayed him and was surprised he went unmentioned.
As Phobia mentioned, I've never cared to poke fun at the "since Elway" thing because it is too painful a reminder of the "since Montana" thing.
