This offseason has shown that our ownership is aggressive in executing their plan without making boneheaded moves or anything too risky.

also, they saw we need help at QB and they wet after orton

I know Ross’s BS on Sparano trying to get Harbaugh still rackles with me and others here, and I know the FO (Pat White, Pat Turner, a few others) has made bad mistakes—they all do, even the Pats, Steelers, and Colts—and I know Sparano had messed up the OL last year (even though that is his specialty, but I think he admitted his mistake), but maybe Ross has learned a thing or two and clearly he really does (despite my own bitching about him) give a crap (don’t know about JLo and the others though).

Getting Bush is a good thing even if he is NOT the feature back, and getting Burnett was great (still hope they can bring back Crowder for run-stopping, though). I suspect they are not done getting the parts (if they get Zach Miller I will be ecstatic! If they get Todd Heap I will be glad…Fasano needs a TE mate, Shuler and the rest do not inspire!), and also would be great if they got some OL help (the best guys—Clabo, Gaither, Dahl are gone, though)…still like Carey but he ain’t what he used to be.

Anyway, Neo, I am thrilled you are sending a message about all the whining on here! I am sick of it as well!

while we may have giant ? marks in our heads about some of the moves they made so far, we need to believe that there is a plan in place and wait to see it come together. I still think they have something “big” brewing on the offensive side, and we need to show a little patience until all the pieces are in place. If we’re 4 or 5 games in and it’s a clusterf*ck, then I’ll lead the bitchfest parade! so thank’s neo , between you and tex , a little calm is being restored.

Im just scared that Burnett is a “one hit wonder”, prollay not but it could happen.. Only one year to go off of, ya know?

I like our owner, he will spend to win. He done bad with that flight thing trying to get Harbaugh, but at the end of the day, it seems like he is almost making the FO pull the triggerf on some players, especially ones he likes

we cant go out forking millions of dollars on a play that MIGHT be a slight upgrade from henne… i think orton would be a better QB than henne in our system but QB is not the only hole on this team. if we put playmakers around henne.. like this FO is doing… it is going to force henne to be terrible.

a couple more playmakers i will help henne. id much rather fork over millions of dollars on multiple players (zach miller, another lineman, and a vet RB) will benefit this team more than acquiring orton.

They’ve had 4 years to do so.

No ‘big brother’ looking over his shoulders.

Well said, Neo.

There have been mistakes along the way, the last one in my memory being the panic-play for Harbaugh in San Fran with Ireland along for the ride.

Honestly, I think the FO did a solid job this last week. I’m GLAD we didn’t get Orton. No disrespect to him, but he would have created a QB controversy, salary cap issues and other problems and he really isn’t that great of an upgrade over Henne (How many times did he lift his team to the playoffs versus choking out consecutive losses to finish a season? He’s not much better, people). I think our defense is top 5 caliber. I think that Henne will have NO excuses this year. The offense has playmakers for Henne to use. Its his team to lose. Period. Let the guy do his job and maybe some of you so-called “experts” will be surprised.

Obviously, we have to see how these players perform when it counts, but thus far, I like what the FO has done. And I have been extremely harsh on them for the last couple years. EXTREMELY harsh.

When all is said and done…they KNOW what they are trying to do and why they’re doing it. We as spectators only think that we know better. Its easy to sit here and complain about moves and signings or non-moves. Its easy to lose heart. The sad truth is that if ANY of us knew better and had the drive and determination that the pros do, then we would be doing their job, not them. Thats a fact. Many of you here are not as knowledgeable as you like to think you are. Some of you who are need to get all the facts before criticizing, and if you aren’t on staff in Miami, then you don’t have all the facts.

Some of you fans need to check yourselves…seriously. While I appreciate your passion for the team and desire to see them succeed…you have to apply that passion to the team that currently exists, not to the team that you want to exist. How do you think you’d perform if you hadn’t walked into the gate yet all the fansites were trashing you? SUPPORT YOUR TEAM. Certainly speak your mind…i’m not saying that…but declaring us a candidate for the “Andrew Luck Sweepstakes” isn’t just overly-dramatic, it makes you sound like a quitting knucklehead.

Just food for thought.

haah Well said sir, I respect that.

Which is why I hated the idea of a rebuild after last year. Look at our D now, it will be Top 5 this year, we were 6th last year. Now it’s our offenses turn to step up and this FO has been active in getting the players we need. Even if Henne doesn’t work out, it’ll just be one piece (I know the biggest) missing, then the whole team like 3 years ago. These guys have built a VERY solid team, lets give them time to finish the job.
