--- Look at it this way ---

[champbronc2]

I think this was a very good post. The division is ours next year or at least not the Chargers. Letting Brees of was stupid We are fine

--- The AFC West was a very good Division last season ---

--- of course with the exception of the Faiders !

--- KC and SD failed to make the play-offs ---

--- Yet their records were way better than

--- many NFL teams that DID get into the play-offs !!!


--- Everyone seems to be screaming to sign a Big Name FA !!!


--- Let's look at how our Division is approaching FA:---

--- San Diego signed Marlon McCree, a strong safety from Carolina ---
--- They let go Drew Brees, QB (NO), Ben Leber, LB (MIN); Reche Caldwell, WR (NE) ---


--- Kansas City re-signed Kendall Gammon, LS, Quentin Griffith, RB, and Damon Huard, QB ---
They let go Todd Collins, QB (WAS)---


--- Oakland has not signed anyone yet ---
They let go Renaldo Hill, DB (MIA); Ted Washington, NT (CLE) ---


--- Denver signed Kenard Lang DE (CLE), and re-signed Mike Leach TE, and Gerard Warren DE ---


--- In our entire division there has been only 2 new FA signings so far, SD-McCree, and Denver-Lang ---

--- ALL the FA “splash” has landed in teams outside our Division ---

--- None of the teams in our Division have gained an advantage on us ---

--- Along with “Big Name” players, often comes Big Time signing bonuses, Big Egos --- and Big Trouble !!!

--- Many of these players “ Milk It”, as they are usually in the twilight of their careers, and are more injury prone due to wear and tear ---

--- With the money we have, we can sign some excellent Draft Picks ---

--- Remember last year ? --- everyone wanted Shanny’s head because of the Brown’s deal, and that Shanny had the “Nerve” to draft THREE (3) CBs !!! ---

--- That didn’t turn out so BAD did it ?

--- I’m not worried about the running game --- that’s always Shanny’s priority, and I’m sure that he’s put a lot of thought into that --- besides, like I’ve said before, we could plug in DJ Williams and still have a 1000 yd rusher !!! ---

--- So, if you look at it this way, things are not so bad ---

I like the addition of McCree, but we need to address our CB's playing and/or coaching. Not enough INTs from the crew. We need a ball hawk, hopefully McCree will add that dimension.

We will not compete if we do not fix that weak ass O-line. LT is great, but he is no Barry Sanders. We need blockers who can pull out and execute.

I think we stepped on our "richard" with the Brees issue. I want to be optimistic, but I don't see a rookie taking us to the big game. Hope I'm wrong, but I do have to be realistic.

Rivers isn't a "rookie"........

...he's an 'unused vet'!
