We are terrible. We have terrible skills and worse coaching. With that said, who are the players that are worth anything that I would want on the team next year?
OL: Lets be honest - we have some young guys that could/should develop here, but we have no useful depth and need starters. I say we keep the three guys in the middle as starters thinking there will be improvement. We then need two starting tackles. Bell and Butler make good backups.
QB: I dont know that we need to get a new QB since we would probably just add to the history of replacing bad QB with bad QB. Help on the OL might really help Trent be not so bad. That said, get another good rookie and let him learn so that if/when we are fed up with Trent after 2010 he will have a year to observe and can start in 2011 if needed.
RB: Set here
WR: Geesh - this is depressing to think about. I thought these guys were good, but we are losing Owens, Evans is not a #1, and the only proven player is Reed whos is really not a gamechanger and shouldnt be in the game unless there are injury problems. We need a #1 WR after Owens leaves, and we need someone young to step up.
TE: I think that after injurys heal we are OK here.
DL: I still like Stroud. Kyle Williams is OK. We need another DT to rotate in. DEs are actually not playing that bad. We probably go with the 4 guys again next year that we have here (minus Denny)
LB: Ugg - Keep Pos and dump EVERYONE ELSE - depth included. I suppose Ellison has been servicable enough as a backup but I dont really like it. And lets keep Harris on the roster.
DB: McKelvin, McGee, Whitner are pretty solid regardless of what you all think of Whitner. I think Corner will continue to improve and be solid. Clearly we keep Byrd.
K/P: Obviously we all like Moorman. If Lindell cant kick middle to long range field goals and we have to go for it or punt, then lets get someone new here.
Dump all the coaches.
Probably Im being overly optomistic, but if we replace these items over the next decade maybe we can get to playoffs in 2020?
