I feel like we would have a much higher chance of success with a player that at least one guy on our coaching staff was familiar with, it seems when we trade for players that nobody on our staff has ever worked with before it usually ends up being a failure.
And it's kind of obvious we're not rebuilding, and if we are rebuilding, we're doing a pretty bad job at it. You don't trade away multiple draft picks for a 34 year old quarterback if you're not planning on winning now.

Jason Taylor! Right, I knew it was forgetting someone. But anyhow, the way I see it we make trades to get guys like Jason Campbell, Rocky McIntosh, Brandon Lloyd, Adam Carriker...that's not trading for older players really.
Like I said in another thread, I really didn't and don't have a problem with the trade for McNabb but along with that move last year should have been a move to add a QB for the future. It's not Beck, and I really doubt they went into training camp with thoughts that Colt would be that guy.
