With the bundles of green cash to spend that we had/have we have not hit a homerun...we've plugged some holes, temporarily. However we're still not much better than last season and we certainly are NOT anymore dynamic either.
Well, lets see. We got the best DT avaible in FA, in Jason Ferguson (who at 30 years of age still easily has 4 or 5 good years left in him, as linemen can easily play into their mid to late 30's. We also signed Anthony Henry who is one of the real ball hawks at CB in the league today. Just see the fact that he had 10 INT's his rookie year alone. Then add on to that, we sign the best guard in FA in Marco Rivera. I would hardly say that we just patched holes.
The G-Men on the other hand have added a Dynamite MLB, a very solid Tackle , albeit severely overpaid, but who are we to throw stones $28 mil cough cough, and now IMO the most dynamic weapon available ...Plax Burress a monster sized wideout who wins balls in the air and who can downfield block better than most pulling guards.
Antonio Pierce is a solid MLB, but dynamic hardly. What part of 1 sack, 1 FF, 2 INT's, and 110 tackles is dynamic? If Antonio Pierce is dynamic, then so is Dat Nguyen. Infact, here are Dat Nguyens stats: 1 sack, 1 FF, 3 INT's, and 107 tackles. Infact, you could easily say that Dat Nguyen is more dynamic than Pierce, as I would easly trade 3 tackles for an INT every day. As for McKenzee, yes he is a solid OL, but if the G-men get credit for signing McKenzee, then you should be estatic about us signing Marco Rivera. Rivera is probally the best OL avaible in FA this year. And as for Plaxico Burress, what part of 95 catches, 1558 yrds, and 9 TD's the last TWO years combined, makes him such a dynamic weapon. You do realize in 2003, the Steelers true best WR, almost topped those numbers himself with: 95 catches, 1163 yrds, and 10 TD's. And that is in just 1 year.
Sorry to say but Jurrah is losing this one, it's not for lack effort...it's for pure LACK of Football knowledge. The fact remains WE STILL NEED A FOOTBALL MAN here, Maybe $28 Mill in hole and 3 , 30 plus year olds to show for it will kick him in the teeth.
No, the one that has a pure lack of football knowledge is YOU. We have Bill Parcells running the show. He has forgotten more about football in 1 day, than you will ever know in your entire lifetime (which isn't very much, judging from your opinions on this post).
