yeah screw this trading picks for old vets stuff....it DOESNT PAN OUT. Has there been one wiley old vet weve traded for that has truly been worth it?
Picking up Kendall was not a bad trade. We'll end up giving up a 4th after getting two solid seasons (and that is probably it) from the guy. He helped solidify a line that had major injuries last year (and again at the end of 2008) and one that had absolutely no one to play left guard after the FO let Dockery walk (not saying they should have paid him what Buffalo did, but they should have come stronger in early negotiations and maybe gotten him locked up during 2006).
Taylor made some sense at the time, and I think the majority of us were fairly positive about the move in July (given the circumstances). Watching the guy play on Sunday, though, he is just stealing a paycheck these days. The stats tell part of the story, but the tape tells an even worse one. He doesn't even care anymore and shows zero effort. Time to send him packing to Hollywood.
