    I don't think it would have made a difference had he stayed. It sucked to see a guy like that leave, but with a new staff in place I expect them to have the pieces they feel necessary to make sure the machine runs smoothly, not just trying to recycle old parts.

        We can't predict injuries. We could certainly use him now being as we're using Spiller out wide due to the depth issues, but as I said you can't assume that Jones, Easley and Parrish would all go down.

          We would be better off with a fast, sure handed receiver who could stretch the defense, regardless of the situation. Lee was a salary dump, pure and simple.
          Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

            Not that I agree that it was a salary dump to begin with, but if it was with the intent to create more flexibility to sign Fitz, Johnson, Jackson and set up one or two FA signings than it was the right move seven days a week.

            Injuries can't be predicted, but obviously if Evans was still here and injured we wouldn't be in any better shape than we are now.

                    No....Evans was too one dimensional and predictable. Donald Jones isn't. He is willing to go over the middle.

                      It was time for Evans to move on. It wasn't a salary dump since they paid him $1.5M in bonus money. If they wanted to dump his salary, they would have done it before paying the bonus by either trading him or cutting him. The guy wasn't even the leading receiver the past 2 years, could only go deep, and wouldn't block. Easley was a bigger loss.
