Sure, but our FO isn't exactly "trade gurus".....so, I'm happy we got something in return. We have some good young receivers, one whom I think is a future superstar, so why are we crying over spilled milk?

How is this relevant to ANY part of the conversation? Let me re-hash:

I don't know if you guys get the impression I am unhappy about the trade, cause for the 100x, I am not, not in the least. I am a fan of Donte's though and will always be gald when he is doing well.

Here's the problem, only one person is saying losing Donte was bad or it was a bad trade. Yet people feel like they need to put him down or something just cause someone may wanna see him do well elsewhere. Donte is SHOWING what he can do in a better system. It's unfortunate he never got that chance here, but what we have at receiver currently has proven to be just as good or better.

I again am not as upset over losing donte as sheldogg,

I've tried to make it as plain as I can this has NOTHING to do with being upset over the trade. I am just a fan of Donte. there's no need to make a speech over ONE person who is actually upset is there chump? :P :P

I was the MOST outraged at Howard, Bentley and Smith walking for nothing, so you're preaching to the choir fella. I'd still like some proof from anyone Donte was walking next year. Any proof at all. A statment from Payton, a statement from Donte, a statement from Loomis, ANYTHING.
