Time to eat the crow.. - Page 2

Dearl Carl,

For months I have ripped you a new one. I went from being a self-described homer to an angry pessmimist in just 2 short years and I blamed you for it. I blamed your inability to sign quality FAs, get players to upgrade a defense, your horrible drafts and the fact that you haven't won a playoff game in 12 years.

But today, I will take back two of the things I said. I didn't think you could get a Surtain deal done because of your ego.

I'm happy to admit I was wrong.

It's been roughly 12 hours since I last bashed you and unless you draft a TE, guard, running back of DT in the first round tomorrow, I won't bash you again this year, but please win a playoff game.

When I woke up today, I honestly didn't expect a deal to get done. I didn't expect to see Len Passthepasta, Clark Judge, or any other internet reporters say a deal was done.

Tomorrow I will go to the draft with smiles, hopes, and my custom made (with masking tape) #23 Patrick Surtain jersey. It's been a long time that we've had someone good in our secondary.

Now our defense has a chance.

Thank you Carl.

Signed,

Frank
former leader of the anti-Carl Peterson clan.

I actually don't think that's the case now. Depending on how the draft falls, I can envision a few situations where drafting offense would be warranted. I also don't want tunnelvision, where we take an inferior player because we're locked on something.

Narggh! You guys were so emotionally invested in tearing CP down, that now you are giving him a free pass! Nargh!

Mr. Bad Guy, I seldom if ever agree with anything you say -- but you better not stop bashing CP for a year. He is a very AVERAGE GM/CEO/President/DFL and often deserves your wrath.

That said, I am impressed that you admitted you were wrong (not that you give a crap about impressing me).

Just a reminder folks: CP is AVERAGE. Our drafts are AVERAGE. Don't get your hopes up now that we did one thing correct.

No. No they don't.

This is a big issue in America. Diminishing goals. Since we sat on our hands last season and did nothing it seems since we are doing something this off season that is good. I say thats normal, not good. Was it some secret that we needed LB and CB help? After last year they had no choice, no one left to blame.

But the bottom line is that we are a much better football team with Surtain on our defense than we are with Bartee over there. Probably a win or two right there with Bartee on the sidelines.

A little advice: I think you need to spend some more time around here reading what people have to say before you make comments like that.

Carl is terrible with the draft. But he's done a fairly solid job with free agency and trading, although he can be a little too antagonistic in contract negotiations for my tastes. And he's been brilliant as the team President, turning Arrowhead Sundays into an event.

In other words, I may judge harshly, but I judge fairly. Don't toss me in with the carl-bashing crowd. I've never been one of them.

I knew we'd get Surtain, so I don't have to eat any crow.

I'll eat my crow if we win a Super Bowl under the current front office.

I don't know what that means.

If Carlos Rogers is there, we should still take him, IMO.
