Not glossing over anything, your team is trying to win now and doing so by bringing in old players and in the meantime young players sitting on a bench who will still lack the playing time.
What young players are sitting on the bench? :laugh2:
Thomas, Kelly and Davis will get plenty of PT this year
Trent Williams is already starting at LT. The defense will be centered around Brian Orakpo. Rogers, Hall and Landry aren't exactly over the hill, neither are Doughty, Horton or Moore (drafted in 2006, and 2008 respectively)
The QB spot has a vet, and the RB spot is loaded with vets, as is the d-line.
The o-line will undergo a 2-3 year transition (who the hell needs to start 5 rookie o-lineman), as will the RB spot, and you already see it occuring at LB.
Just because nobody knows who the young guys are (seriously, do you know who Kareem Moore is, probably not) doesn't mean they aren't playing.
As much as I wanted the roster to be filled with 30 players under the age or 25, thats just not practical, with the FA rules this year, and lack of draft picks in years past.
Where I would be upset would be if Johnson, Parker, Galloway got long term 4 year deals with big guranteed money. But they all signed cheap, easy to cut deals.
Look at what Bill Parcells did in 2003-2004. Brought in a bunch of vets to provide competition and raise the professionalism of the Cowboys and then slowly transitioned the team over the next 3 years, while maintaining a competitive team for 2 of his first 3 years.
Shanahan is fourtanate in that he was able to get a better QB then any of QC, VT, or DB.
