Castoffs form Super Bowl franchises

Interesting article and very good points. I guess then the difference between them and us is they have good talent scouts and we have bad ones. I mean, Connell didn\'t pan out. Neither did Sloan, Conwell might, Riley, Folau, Gandy are decent at best. Pathon has been so-so. I\'ll give a lot of credit for Brooks, Deuce, and Horn, but it pretty much stops there. Our linebackers are all backups somewhere else and they\'re all terrible. Same with our corners. Out line is good, but all have come through the draft, no?

I\'d still like to see a couple of impact players brought in on defense. Then maybe the group of nobodies will be something.

I agree. This team needs some NFL sex appeal. Especially if we want to be a National draw. Bring in a big name stud that the national media talks about. It would give this team some personality and build a cockyness necessary to take it to the next level.
And I don\'t mean that me-me joe Horn like cockyness either.
I\'m talking a Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher headhunter type that the media, as well as offensive coordinators, focus on.
