Rebuilding doesn't exist in the NFL. That is a euphimism that teams like Buffalo and Tampa Bay use to say that they have given up and they are just going to collect TV revenue.

i thought this team was in shambles, i'm just surprised they think we have enough talent on our roster to make a few moves and be a contender. i mean i know zorn wasn't the greatest coach ever i just didn't realize the guy was a freaking moron, and maybe ol bug eyes got it right when he said we had a playoff roster. regaurdless the next few years should be really interesting. and did i menton we f-ing made out like bandits with this trade! we dropped what 25 picks to pick up a former first rounder with a cheap contract.

This team was competitive in almost every game even with the most dysfunctional offensive system in the league and o-lineman off the trash heap.

I think this trade was a steal too. We didn't make trades like this with Vinny.

I don't think the team was ever in shambles, I just think we had an overachieving offense with very little actual talent, and an underachieving defense with a plethora of talent it couldn't use/didn't understand.

With that said, our solutions on offense throughout this offseason have appeared to be some combination of the formula (Mike Shanahan's hubris + the 4th overall pick) = wins!! No research I've ever done suggests that is going to work, but both Shanahan's seem quite convinced that it will. Of course, I would expect nothing less.

Those crazy employers at today's career fair wanted to know where my resume was. I asked them: haven't they heard of me?! I'm kind of a big deal.

My research suggest that this post is a massive buzz kill

It would appear that we dropped to 32nd in the 5th round and moved up to first in the 7th round. I guess you could say that our original 5th round pick was like a late 4th rounder but for a first round pick I won't mind taking such a "hit."

We still have 4 draft picks right?
