Building through the draft. Enough is enough.

We're not, that's for sure. If we have to endure w/Yorks, so be it, but hire a top GM, offensive-minded head coach like Gruden, Billick, Cowher or Jimmy Johnson. They'll bring in their people...they've proven they know how to do that. Success breeds success...

We don't hire that type around here. Proven success is not part of the York hiring process. Value is.

There are no quick fixes at the QB position in free agency. Our best bet is to go the Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, Sam Bradford route and draft the QB of the future next year. Guys like Andrew Luck, Jake Locker and Ryan Mallett are all top-tier prospects and could be guys to build around for the future.

You're right in that there is talent on this team, especially on the offensive side of the ball. So a rookie QB wouldn't be dealing with an empty cuboard...there's a lot to work with here, but you need the right QB and head coach. It all starts there.


1.) Bring in an offensive-minded HC (Harbaugh, Gruden, Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer, Mike Martz...oh wait). ;)
2.) Draft a rookie QB in the 1st
3.) Build an offensive powerhouse

This. I mean, some of you guys are talking about McNabb who is struggling in DC with Shanahan. We need to draft Luck or Mallet (not a fan of Locker) and bring in a guy like Harbaugh. I don't like Gruden because I don't want a HC to become the face of our franchise anymore, plus too many of his players wanted him out of TB.

We seriously need to bring more speed to our offense. Either bring in a slot WR who is a threat to score or bring in a RB who can take it to the house. Basically, we need a McCluster type of player, who can take a short pass for big plays.

See Ginn, Ted and Westbrook, Brian. We just need an offensive coordinator that has the mental capacity to understand how to use the talent he has at his disposal. Let's hope Mike Johnson's learn what NOT to do under Raye.

Building through the draft is nothing but a cover for not spending. Yorks are as cheap as they come. We are not stupid, this building through the draft sh** doesn't work anymore. Find another freaking excuse. For eight f**king years we've been building through the draft, some of these dudes are retiring and we are still building through the draft, WTF!!!
