The Falcons line was ****ing terrible. Forney played like shit in his last year in Atlanta and has continued to play like shit since, which is why SD let him go. Wayne Gandy was terrible. Todd Weiner sucked at RT. They replaced their entire right side of the line as well as their LT and did it with success in ONE season.

I mostly agree with this post. What CP could never decipher is good talent from elite talent.
Guys like Jared should be treated differently than the average joe.
Jared became dominant in his third year and we never heard a peep about $$$ from him through his whole rookie contract that was of a 4th rounder. When you have a pass rusher that is as complete of a defender as Jared is/was you have to treat him the same as you do your QB because he is almost as important to your chances at a superbowl.
Jared will go off when it gets to the postseason this year and I bet he helps them win a title THIS YEAR.
I said it before and Ill say it again, I wouldnt have traded him for two firsts.
