If GM holding Marvin back, then why has Marvin never left to a better Opportunity/GM?

Wasn't it as a kick returner that he made it in 2001?

Thornton was a backup with the Titans that showed some flash that came here to be a starter. He was hardly a huge name.

Adams was 33. He played 1 more year after being here.

Bryant had a severe injury that our medical staff didn't spot and he never played a down here.

No teams wanted TO. None...except us.

NONE of those guys were Tier A free agents. None.

And you mixed trades in with free agents.

O'Neal had 9 picks in '01.  Pretty sure he made it as a CB.

Thornton started 16 games his second year in the league.  He only played 3 the following year when dealing with injury, but started all 16 games the following year before hitting FA.  He was not a backup that left to be a starter.

Nobody wanted TO's attitude, but he still had plenty of ability.

Bryant hid his injury, but he was a big name.  He and TO were the top rated UFA WR's in the 2010 class.

If the complaint is not adding quality veterans to help Marvin win(as Fred has), then it's more than fair to point out quality veterans the team added via trade.
