I guess I'm just hesitant to make another trade like this for a "superstar" when that strategy in the past hasn't gotten us to the next level. And I just wonder whether it's smart to sink everything as much as we are trying to into him when he may not be able to get us to that level by himself. That's where I'm coming from with all this.

lol, jeff george (we should have stayed with BJ) and bruce smith were FA signings we got at the end of their careers. coles had a bad heal but a good career with us till we traded him for moss who happened to set the skins season rec yds record and we drafted lavar!! none of those players at the time we got them are anywhere near the production level of a 30 yr old CJ nor did they cost us all our draft picks. im surprised you left duckett out too.

My point is we havent traded or signed a true superstar like CJ since CP (who set the skins season rushing record). comparing CJ to the likes of lloyd and jeff george is ridiculus imo.

go skins!

KB - i think what your trying to say is that instead of throwing big money at CJ now and handcuffing our abilities to add elite talent in the future, we should hold onto some loose cash for a year or two when the team will be 1 superstar signing away from being a SB contender then go after that 1 missing piece? makes sense and i concur.

go skins!
