I doubt woodson comes here we have no desire to be in win now mode and are trying to build toward the future he won't want to play with a bunch of scrubs that are just gonna make him look bad

People aren't exactly beating Woodson's door down, and the market determined that. It would be like a slightly more expensive Drayton Florence deal, only with a guarantee of much more production coming from the player.

How is this a funny thread? Aren't most people unhappy with the draft feeling that way b/c we didn't address the secondary (and/or WR)? Would Charles Woodson not instantly come here and start?

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa! Fuging hilarious!!!

dude we had 4 opportunities to draft a quality "fresh DB" and it seems the Secondary is not of interest. Indeed I would love a proven vet but with the combo of Gettle/RR I doubt they are gonna spend much more money if any. We have some major bills due in the next few years.

I'm disappointed that we didn't address the secondary but I'm withholding judgment until we see these guys on the field. Only pick I'm close to writing off before so is the 4th rounder.

Other than that, I'm approaching this as though Gettleman felt we needed to fix the 'unsexy' areas of the team, as I termed them earlier - the lines, the lunch pale guys, etc. and by doing so, I think he feels the playmakers already on the team will be able to step up and do more OR we will add some more vets post-draft to take on significant roles in those positions.

I'm guessing he viewed the team as a house. You can have an absolutely beautiful home on the exterior, but if there is a foundational issue, the home won't continue to stand. He fixed the foundation in this draft and I'm hoping he uses guys like Gettis on offense, adds quality FAs for the right price, and drafts more playmakers in the years to come to develop on both sides of the ball, now that the foundation is strong.

agreed. I truly was expecting a DB or WR at least somewhere in the mix. Nevertheless, I assume this picks should not come as a surprise because the area the huddle wanted were already taken care of through free agency thus far according the the bosses. I think the next big issue for us is taking out the trash. We may as well take the trash out now instead of waiting until next year. I can slice two WRs, jimmy, Fua, and possibly make a feature trade or two.

Gettleman will all a sudden become GOD again

It's just funny that i predicted months ago that most of these people would hate Gettleman after today. The D needed to be addressed instead of having to outscore in the late part of the game, maybe we can hold an opponent to under 30.

Those people needs to start watching Arena Football.

It ain't the NFL without Defense

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
