League leading tackler who tackles 15 yds down field, 8th highest paid OT who hasn't played a down this year, and no wins from our new coach. Its not moves we need its good moves. Where have you had your head the last 28 yrs?
After the 2010 season there was no optimism around here, but in free agency we signed THREE NEW STARTERS that transformed our defense from 24th in scoring to 9th and then in the draft we selected 2 Pro Bowl players with our first two picks (Dalton, Green) and also added a stalwart of our offensive line in the 4th (Boling).
We have done it before so we can do it again. I choose to be optimistic. I understand some people prefer being pessimistic, but what I don't understand is the pessimists that make stuff up to feed their pessimism like "Mike NEVER signs any decent free agents!" or "Our front office NEVER drafts any good players." or "Mike Brown NEVER pays offensive linemen." You guys are entitled to squeal and whimper all you want, but you are not allowed to make up false claims.
