We might need to start trading star players...

My favorite player AJ Green...trade him to the Patriots for a 1st and 3rd Round pick. He's starting to rack up injuries and is going to be a free agent soon and he's over 30 years old.

Guys like Atkins and Dunlap should be traded too if we can find a taker willing to give 1st Round picks.

We're looking at a 2-3-4 year rebuild...and unfortunately our stars are 30 years old and won't be productive at a high level when that completes.

Two things:

1. I'd love to see this core group of good to really good to great players given one more real shot.

2. You know Mike Brown isn't going to go out and sign the free agents (real ones), make the trades, draft the right guys, and roll the heads that need rolled to get it done.

So I'm not so sure it isn't the right thing to do ? Give em a chance before it's to late !

There's no way in hell you can fix this team in one draft, probably not even two ! And Dalton, AJ, Carlos, and Geno don't have the time to fix it thru the draft.

Dalton is what he is. It doesn't take a genius to figure out without a good to really good Oline he's not going to be able to rise above yet they let the Oline just keep going downhill and tried to patch and band aid it back together (The Mike Brown way).

Sorry I just don't see any light at the end of this tunnel.
