So we're just supposed to forget the whole Mingo for a 4th rounder?

Huh??? He started several games last year. He looked good when given a chance too! The consensus on him is the arrow is pointing up.

we hope. we will see.

Trading for a WR (which everyone said we needed) and getting a WR1 doesn't get us closer to a championship?

how? we were top scoring offense two years ago. and lost in first round of playoffs. we have been high scoring offense in the past and none of it has come to anything. our defense is smoke and mirrors and has been bad against the run for years. invest in defense. fix the defense. I would have rather traded for a defensive player, than WR2.

is this team going to win superbowl this year? are they contenders? how do they stack against rest of NFC and top teams in AFC?

remember, this is a one year rental..... if we don't win superbowl or worse yet, don't make playoffs and Pickens is gone. it was a bad trade.

but go ahead with your bad self. hang a banner, put the Trade Trophy on the mantle and shine it up. celeberate. throw a party.

You don’t know it’s a 1 year rental so quick stating lies.

We did get a few new lbs a couple cbs and a couple dts. As well as a really nice pass rusher and Fowler. I'm not sure who will work out and how the scheme change will come into play but we have at least made some moves.

Besides that if he out prices himself we likely get a high compensatory pick, negating a lot of his trade costs.

This was Philly's trade for Dotson:

Wash gets a 3rd and two 7ths
Phi gets Dotson and a 5th

Terrible trade for Philly and I'd rather have the Mingo trade. Whether or not it pans out remains to be seen but it's not the worst trade in the world either.

Dotson is a proven #2/3 type WR. What was so terrible about it?

 

[kskboys]

This a very good point. Which leads to the point that people are up in arms that we gave up a 4th for Mingo and that precious 4th would only have a 20% chance at being better than Mingo!!

Only if Jerry is drafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
