Quote:Maybe so, but if we're only keeping Daryl for one year to upgrade the D-line, we're still going to need to replace Daryl next year. This way, the team got a headstart on evaluating younger, potential replacements. It's essentially a tryout for someone like Geno Hayes.

 

Does it really matter that much to you if the "tryout" takes place during this season or next since you admit Daryl would be gone rather quickly anyway?

 

Again, keeping Daryl for one year, as you say above, doesn't do a whole heck of a lot for this team two or three years down the road, when we sure as heck better be competing. 

 

Letting him go was a big picture move from Caldwell, and one that I don't have a problem with, considering what most of us knew the team was going to be this season.

 

Maybe we'd have to replace Daryl Maybe not, once they hit 30 it's a year to year thing. Look how long Ray played as long as Daryl was playing at a high enough level we could've kept him around until we found a replacement.

 

Same point I've been trying to drive home, we have the same holes on this roster as we had a year ago minus one CB.........that's not doing a good job rebuilding it's more like continuing the suck we've gotten use to.

 

You've got a roster with HUGE problems at QB, RB, OG, C, CB, DE a year later you still have HUGE if not BIGGER problems at QB, RB, OG, C, DE you've essentially done nothing for a year.
