We should throw in McQ just to be nice.

Disagree. Bowie started horribly, got better every start, and by the time Breno returned I thought he was playing better than Breno.

NOW IT HURTS...Like I just had my genitals dragged across gravel...
Is there a plan...?

Wow. Breno is league average, at best. I'd hate to see what losing a truly elite player would feel like to you.
The plan is to not overspend on players who can be replaced by younger and cheaper players in order to have money to pay guys like Sherman, Thomas, and Wilson when the time comes. We got Breno off of Green Bay's practice squad so its not as if he's a rare talent. And the Hawks' OL was dreadful most of the season so there's nowhere to go but up by bringing in new players via the draft and free agency to be coached up by Cable and compete for jobs with guys like Bailey and Bowie.

Breno was an ok OL, but be honest he made a ton of mistakes in his time here, and was a drive killer throughout his time. We haven't lost one player that we can't replace, none are pro bowl quality guys, and JS and Pete have shown they can find good players.
We're perfectly all right. This is the plan when the big contracts come due. Only elite players get signed. There's always competing talent coming along. There are only a handful or so players you can bank on being around for a while. Hang on to your 81 jerseys! Think how long Lynch has been here. His time will come to an end soon too. You can be sentimental, but not Pete and john. No way! I trust these guys. They wouldn't have let Hutch walk and keep Alexander instead. I think we get better talent out of the draft per ranking than any team in our division too! The 9ers are having the same problems too.HawkFan72":aojc6u6o said:Marshawn Lynch is crying.
Gambling on their upside is risking Russell's back side.McGruff":1mpwmhnf said:This is one I am actually thankful for. I know the jury is out on Bailey and Bowie, but I thought both showed more than enough to gamble on their upside in 2014.
