agree completely. reaching to get asomugha and not having it come through (with all the dudes who had to leave to make room) mixed with bryan thomas and cumberland going down set us on the path we're at now. There was too much turnover and decline/lateral movement. Figuring out who to draft is gonna be ridiculous because now there's holes everywhere. If LT leaves, McKnight ain't ready...hell neither is Greene. Our linebackers, right tackle, secondary, a deep threat, blocking TE if dude can't go...a QB.
Personally though...as bad as the things said about him were, we're beyond stuck with Holmes. I think we can make this work with him, because it's a long off-season and he doesn't wanna be that guy.
