Parcells and upgrading talent...you be the judge

[AbeBeta]

here is a partial FA list of what we brought in. I think I may, in fact I know I have, left some people off but it may have been because they just weren't around long enough or I could not find them on a roster anywhere.

I think if you look at other teams and their moves you'll find very similar patterns. Every team is going to bring in a ton of new players each year -- you look at those lists and of course they aren't going to be impressive - most are going to be bottom of the roster guys.

The fact is that good teams are built through the draft. And he has drafted some pretty good guys. There have been some misses but EVERY team misses on picks. And let's keep in mind that some picks may still develop -- most of us had given up Bradie James for dead -- this year he showed he can be a quality contributor. We may yet see that from guys like Burnett, Al J, and Peterman.

We did miss, and miss bad with Rogers. That is the one pick that really killed us this year -- but you look at that draft and see that BP got Crayton and Reeves in the 7th and you have to give him credit for finding talent.

So if Adams had stayed healthy Drew would have "done what he normally does"?

No even with a healthy Adams, Bledsoe does his annual swoon. Bledsoe is a terrible poor weather QB and the likelihood of bad weather increases as the season wears on.

Atrocious at Seattle, NYG, Washington, Philly.....Decent at home (except the Rams) and in sunny Carolina........see a pattern here?

I agree whole heartily that good teams are built through the draft...nor am I making a judgement as the title said you be the judge
