Seems like the media is responsible for a lot of the Jerry hate. If he goes for the big splash, he's loved by fans & media for having the balls to pull the trigger on a game changer, but then he's ridiculed for overpaying his players.
When there was talk about him signing Asomugha, there was criticism of his lack of discipline, and inability to focus on true needs like safety and DE.
But when Philly signed Asomugha, Jenkins, and the rest of their FA's, Jerry is ridiculed for not going after any of the shiny players.
Somehow we "lost" free agency as if there's a trophy handed out to the perceived "winner" of free agency. Im a huge Mavs fan, and this reminds me so much of the Miami Heat situation. They won free agency hands down, and they are a very good team. But they weren't the best TEAM.
Our O-Line situation looked atrocious by the end of last year, and the Doug Free situation just compounded that. Jerry was able to re-sign him, and land arguably the best OL in the draft. We've also re-signed Kosier and added a few young prospects as well.
Leadership was crap, so we fired our "coach" and upgraded to a coach with a no nonsense style.
Defense was terrible, so we fired our D-Coordinator, and upgraded to someone who we all believe can take advantage of some of the talent on our roster.
Our star WR is in need of discipline and needs someone to crack the whip. We can check that off our to do list as well.
Injuries were a major concern, and we signed a legendary conditioning coach.
My point is, all of these small wins on Jerry's end, have a very good chance of making a significant impact in the long run. There's much more to football than just star power, and big high dollar names. Jerry is assembling a team, and I believe he's leaning on Garrett A LOT to help him turn this thing around.
We sign a safety or two, tie up any loose ends, and I'm very confident that we will be a solid competing force in the NFC. And after what we saw last season, that's really all we should hope for right now. That would be a good indicator of what to expect moving forward.
Screw Philly, and who they're signing. I LOVE what our team is doing. It's not perfect by any means, but its improvement.
