True, you said "come close" to replacing Revis. So tell me: who's nearly as good as Revis AND available? You must know, because you're mad that BB hasn't signed them.
Yes, you did.
Well lets look.
DE - Added Shread - improved
DT - Lost Wilfork but Easley should be back and healthy... assuming we add a decent 5th player - improved DECLINE UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE
LB - Getting Mayo back - improved HIGHTOWER MAY NOT BE READY WEEK 1
S - Same guys as last year - same
CB - Goes without saying - Massive Decline
QB - No Changes - Same
TE - Added Chandler - improved
WR - No big changes yet but Gibson/Dobson could be better back end depth. We will see - Same
OL - Need to replace/upgrade Connolly. I am sure they will - Same or improved (pending) DECLINE
RB - N/A - Going to be a lot of movement here. We will see. DECLINE
STs - White/Ebner will be healthy - Improved
So overall some spots look better right now than at the end of last year. They still have things to do though but are probably again going to be the best AFC team next year IMO.
Yes, you did.
Sherad's stats have gone down every single year since his rookie season. He is decent but not a game changer.
BB has had next to no success drafting corners, there are no good CBs left and I don't see BB trading for one. It's a pretty good guess BB is going with Arrington, Dennard, Checkwa, Butler, Ryan and Newman and will put the pressure on a 38 year old Brady to outscore their opponents.
You said you never "came close" to saying that. Yet, you previously said that we need to "come close" to replacing Revis.ok...when did i say we need a HOF caliber player to replace revis. i actually wrote i dont need a great player, just a very good player
The OP makes some valid point. It is very frustrating that the Jets, Bills and Dolphins have improved the roster while the pats big moves are signing JAGS like Chimdi Chekwa, Jonathan Freeny and Jabaal Sheard. Not to mention the pats lost Bush to a team that is a complete an utter mess and Johnson to what looks to be an average chargers team.
What really gets me is that the NFL is a pass first league and the pats answer for Jets and Bills receivers are Chimdi Chekwa (he has never had an INT) and Newman who will 37 when the season starts.
"UMMMMM NOOOOO. i just want to know how we are going tocome close to replacing him"check out post #23 in this thread....one thing you will realize as you grow up, just because the group thinks one way, doesnt mean its correct. get your facts straight pal
this is from that post #23...
(4) CB - this is the big one. im not asking for a great player like revis. but where can we even get a good one?

I don't think the Dolphins have improved. Suh is a big get, but Tannehill lost Wallace, Hartline, Gibson and Clay. Cameron is meh. They've jettisoned Odrick and Starks, both good players. And brent Grimes is a year older back there.
Looks like people are drowning their sorrows in green beer today.
It is March 17th folks. Opening Day is 6 months from now.
Good idea. If only there was a way to mass mute all of these "I know better than BB" threads, this board might actually be readable again.Sheard is a very good player, a guy who sets the edge and can finally give Nink a rest. He's pretty much the equivalent of LaFell last year, who was "game changing" enough.

No, it's actually a terrible guess. As things stand now, NE is a virtual lock to either select a CB in rough one, or take two in the first two rounds.
As for Bill's history, McCourty, Dennard, Samuel, Butler, Gay, Geno and Ryan were all meaningful acquisitions who contributed as rookies. McCourty and Samuel became elite players. There's been bad, of course, but the same can be said for every other team as well.
EDIT: Scanning through the posts that have come up since I started this comment, it's clear that the idiocy in this thread isn't going to lessen any time soon. Guess it's time for the trusty "ignore thread" function.
I think it's even worse than not getting better. I think the Dolphins made a huge franchise-killing mistake. The kind of mistake that is so bad you only see it every once in a blue moon in the NFL. The crazy thing is that they were making nice strides towards building a decent team. There was a lot to like down there. So what do they do? Hire Mike Tannenbaum and throw it all away with a brain dead "big splash" free agent signing. I've not heard a single knowledgeable NFL front office type that isn't mocking them for the Suh signing.
"UMMMMM NOOOOO. i just want to know how we are going tocome close to replacing him"
So you're wrong there. You're wrong about no SB wins without an elite corner, too.
Keep going, you're doing great.
How have "we" improved over the team that just won the Super Bowl? Really?
