Quote:Why is it that difficult for you to understand that the guys they were replaced with weren't expected to be long-term solutions?  Is it really that tough to grasp?

 

And all of this epic whining thread is based on nothing more than your desire for 1 win?  Gimme a break.  We're in the driver's seat for the first pick in the draft.  1 win could make the difference between getting it or not.  This team was always going to be bad this year.  Deal with it.

 

"He was given a minimum wage 1 year deal because they weren't able to identify anyone who could fill that role any better.  He wasn't given a mufti-year contract by the team.  Like the other short term contracts they signed, he's nothing but a band aid for the sake of the rebuild. "

 

That was your exact quote talking about the reason why the team resigned Meester. How can you possibly say that I don't understand that the guys who replaced Smith, Jones, and Knighton weren't expected to be long term solutions, when that is exactly what I am complaining about. They were all already band aids for the team, yet Dave cut them all, and signed cheaper band aids who were all worse than the players they replaced. They didn't identify anyone better at all. Is it really that tough for you to grasp?? You seem to be the one who doesn't understand here.

 

On top of that, if we win 1 game we will still get the number 1 pick. The Bucs aren't going to go 0-16. We, on the other hand, probably will because Dave cut three of the solid players we did have (because they didn't fit into his long term plans, even though they were all signed to cheap, short term deals anyways) and signed players for almost the exact same type of deals who were even worse. Now we get to sit through a whole season without a win, and go down as the worst team in NFL history. Awesome plan. Guess I should deal with it.
