Great?  Really?  Did I miss a few Super Bowls somewhere?

Dwayne,

The point is (and I totally agree) that Angelo did nothing but hope that an
under performing unit would magically get better over the offseason.  Yeah,
there were injuries.  But there are often injuries for a reason.  To close
your eyes and hope is not a way to run a football team.  You have to
objectively look at the facts.

I saw the Sun-Times interview with Angelo in the paper this morning and I
got sick.  The suggestion was that signing a veteran or drafting another WR
would hinder the development of the ones we have.  We heard *exactly* the
same excuse as Angelo held his breath waiting for Grossman to develop for 2
years.

It's not Lelie.  It's the whole picture.  They're like rats running around
and around in a cage.  They touch the bars and get shocked over and over
again.  They never learn.
