Go to your user CP and on the lefthand side theres a buddy/ignore list there.

Make sure you post on here at the end of the season after we don’t have a winning record of course as usual there will just be excuses.I think you could look at a team like Pittsburgh year in and year out they are a solid team. You RARELY hear them spending a lot of money in the free agent market they pick and chose who they want to bring in but for the most part they drafted there key players. I would much rather have a team like them then a team that goes and spends money just to spend money. Teams can be good year in and year out building mostly through the draft. That’s what we are doing. We are not going to bring in a guy just because he’s a name. We are going to bring in guys that fit what we have here. If that means we have to pay a guy I am sure we will. But only if the fit is right. A cheap owner would not have given Cassel the contract that he got.

Breaston as long as his knee holds up will be good but then we release Waters. REALLY this improved our team? We will be nowhere close to a Super Bowl with these kind of moves and if you are happy waiting 10-20 years at this pace to see how things pan out then good luck for you. It has been since Herm’s 2nd year when we started this “rebuilding” or should we say “MONEY SAVING” route.AGAIN…I would understand your point if free agency was over, but you started complaining not even 12 hours after it opened. There are around 29 unfilled roster spots right now and you are running around yapping about the how terrible Clark is. You blame a long rebuild on two guys who have not been here for 5 years, but somehow the actions of Herm and CP are the fault of Pioli/Haley. I get it, its been a long time since we’ve won, but blowing your wad on every big price tag is not how you win SuperBowls.

Let’s see what kind of record they have at the end of the year and lets see what kind of record we have at the end of the year and you will see I will rest my case. Jets were as bad as we were when we started this rebuilding now they are a team that is building towards a Super Bowl.Jets…drafted QB, added big name FA’s after 3 years (1 year ahead of us)
Eagles…drafted McNabb…no big name FAs until Vick (and this season)
Patriots…drafted a 6th round QB…no big name FAs until this year.
Its almost like you draft people, build a team and then insert big name FAs when the time is right.

And as far as free agency you do realize if we sign some one new they have to learn our playbook and get their timing and chemistry down with the rest of the team? And the season starts in about a month? This is like normal free agency where you have all spring and summer to do this.

3 years after their rebuild they start adding good/great free agents and what year are we in? Using the coach for a scapegoat every 3 years and firing him so we can start all over again isn’t a very good excuse either for Mr. Clark.

I know the Patriots signed R. Harrison in 2003 who was one of the best safeties in the game at that time. They traded a 2nd round pick to get C. Dillion in 2004 so they did not utilize the draft to acquire a very good RB that year.

We are not the only ones letting people go and signing new free agents; it’s a little early yet to push the panic button. Just my two cents.

The packers won last year anther team the doesn’t spend a ton on free agents. Signing big names is great for us fans to get pumped up about and all. But it’s not a proven way to win super bowls. You might get one if your in the right spot to grab a big name. But this team has not been in that spot in a LONG time.
This is year 3 of the current rebuild as we started all over when we brought in Haley and Pioli. We already have one AFC West title under our belts. You can say it was just an easy schedule we won the divison by beating the NFC west what others in our divison couldn’t do. This is NOT a team that is struggling. Did they struggle against the top teams last year yes. That’s why they are the top teams. We didn’t get blown out against the colts when we went up against them in fact we could have should have beat them. This team was able to compete against some of the top teams just not win. Something that has to be learned by young teams. Something this team is learning now.

Canada makes way too valid of a point that free agency has just begun and potential signees cannot even participate until Aug. 4…. Patience
