I wasn't talking about you.

I wouldn't say you exposed anything though. The players we typically went after in Carson's era were 2nd rate, and often only brought in to replace players we let go (Odom replacing Justin Smith, Coles replacing Housh, Clements replacing JJo, etc). We were more active then than now, but that's hardly Carson's fault.

Mike didn't trade up in the draft for over 20 years, probably due to what happened with Ki-Jana. We avoid (good) free agents after dumb signings like Antonio Bryant (who was coming off a pretty severe injury). Mike is like a dumb guy who stubs his toe on a table, then swears off tables.
