Beyond the Cassel trade-I have not been impressed at all with who they are bringing in.

Seems like a bunch of has-beens on their last legs... yes leadership is important and all that, but the draft received terrible reviews from nearly everyone.

TG now Waters-will be very hard to replace. Those lineups don't look like a contender in any shape way or form.

I pretty much agree with this, Mr. Halfcan. Still, changing the "mentality" of the team is going to take awhile. We desperately need locker-room leadership that is consistent with a mental approach of a championship franchise. I mean, just look at Waters. He's a great example of a guy who, when he doesn't get his way and isn't treated "special", he takes his ball and goes home. It's ridiculous and will take some time to turn around. Guys like Vrabel should be helpful in that regard and, if they can get it done, their value and long-term impact on the team is far greater than might be apparent on the field.
