Re: Buddy's Impact

If you ask any of the tribal fans, they'll give him credit for bottoming out the team, which is apparently necessary for teams to do before they "really" start to improve. Little did we know the bottoming out process is longer than expected.

Merriman

A guy picked up off the waiver wire and has not played a meaningful game in 3 years. Hey, it is a start.

Re: Buddy's Impact

lets see how Troup Carrington, Easley, Jones, Dareus, Sheppard, Williams etc.. turnout over the next couple of seasons

building through the draft wasn't going to be a single season rebuild..

Now with Buddy doing the drafting that is for sure. I think the Packers and the Steelers got more contributions from rookies last year and they were playing for a SB.

Don't forget he was head of national scouting when they drafted maybin.

We'll know better in a couple of seasons.

I'm pretty excited about the young guys on the defensive side of the ball, and looking forward to how they progress and grow.

wake up, people.

"Building through the draft" is just a bull**** cop out created by Russ Brandon's PR machine to buy 2 or 3 years with no expectations of results from fans.

With the way this team conducts business, it would take 3 years of perfect drafts to actually win, and since drafting is an inexact science, that's damn near impossible.

"Building through the draft" is just a bull**** excuse for building for a future that will never arrive.

and adding to that, we could have said the same thing in 2001 or 2004 or 2007. Where did that get us?

This franchise is an epic failure all because of one man: Ralph ****ing Wilson.

I have no faith that Nix won't trade any of them for a 4th or 5th rnd pick next year or the year after.

Building primarily through the draft is a great concept, as evidenced by most successful teams. But those teams 1) generally draft well 2) retain their own good players, and 3) use Free Agency to add the finishing pieces.

We are not great at 1), and are abysmal at 2) and 3).
