Preston Brown was a starter too before he got hurt so if that’s the only thing then we accomplished that. It seems many want to insinuate it’s what puts teams over the top, which is true occasionally, but not much. The Giants signed the top O linemen this last year and they thought it would fix their O line...they were still horrible.
I’m not saying moves should be made, but people want to discount Glenn and Brown and they were about as productive as a lot of the big name trades and FAs in general.
Exactly. Fans like to point out that winning teams sign some big name free agents, but the truth is that losing teams sign lots of big name free agents also. So the proof is that signing big name free agents can help teams win, but it can also help them lose.
Last year we brought in an OT who was among the top 10 in salary for his position and an ILB who salary among the top half of the league at his.
