made some really bad mistakes this year: Here are three for starters Trying to get cute with Revis's contract resulting in SHORTER contract period rather than longer. Only under contract for 4 years instead of the original 5 Penny pinching on Pete Kendall. Atrocious mistake considering 2.7 million is going to McCarins. Kenyon Coleman. Another overpaid role player, throw in some of the other deadbeat free agents. Positives Good Draft, especially taking Harris and Revis although Brick looks to be not much of a top 4 pick.
Revis contract situation did not bite us in the as* at all. Penny pinching on Kendall-look, Kendall was far from dominate. could he have helped? sure. our LG position was horrific, but like i said, Kendall is not all that. i for one was getting sick of reading quotes all day in the paper from him. I don't mind the step back this year. Face it, Patriots are winning it all this year. Reason for concern : Is DBrick legit? will he turn out to be just an average LT? Where we drafted him (and i was all for it), i expected nothing less than staring 10 straight years and 3-4 Pro Bowls in that time span. Let's give him some time, but he does not look all that great. Looks nothing more than average as of now.
In 2 years they have done a B- job in bringing in talent IMO. Revis is actually here for 6 but the extra 2 pay him as a top 5 CB. Adding Mangod, Harris and Leon were great draft picks. But then you have the Kimo Von Oelhoffen, Kenyon Coleman, Pete Kendall side of the ball. They took over a shitty situation, I give them more time before I would pass concrete judgement
I think I would rate our FA signings as a C and our drafting as a A-. The FA signings, well, unless you wanted to join into the adalius thomas sweepstakes last year, there really wasn't all that much going on. As far as the drafts are concerned, our top 5 rounds are all looking to be pretty good. Brick will be okay, I agree that he might not be a pro bowl caliber player, but Mangold, eric smith, leon, brad smith, drew coleman, harris, revis, and yes, even Clemens are all contributing. That's a good record for two short years in the draft -- and remember, chansi stuckey was looking pretty good until he got hurt.
How does locking up a future pro bowl CB on his rookie contract for only four years not bite us in the ass? He and his agent were willing to sign a five year deal but our FO cleverly negotiated a seven year deal that lets him out after four years. Kendall got the Redskins into the playoffs while we went from 10-6 to 4-12 despite adding Harris and Revis to our defense. Our OL did a good job last year and can't block anyone this year (Kendall is the only starter missing from last year on the OL).
The Jets paid Kendall 5.2 million last year(that was for one year) The media never reported it so you bought the bullshit FUCK KENDALL
Kendell was told by the Jets to take a salary cut last year and he agreed. How the F@@@ did he get paid $5.2 million? Since it wasn't reported in the media how in hell do you know?
This is how I F@@@'N KNOW http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/salaries/playerdetail.aspx?lname=kendall&player=1291 Look at 2006
