Upcoming Free Agents

Regarding Angelo...if his staff can't develop players...isn't that a mark agasint him? So even if he did draft a player that is doing well elsewhere, by virtue of not having a good enough staff to dring that about while here in Chicago, doesn't that mean Angelo has failed on that pick? Maybe it's just semantics... But it's nice to draft a Gage (can't actually remember if that was Angelo), but if he's not contributing to your team, he is a bust in my opinion. And it's a blemish on the person who drafted him. If you know your p*** poor coaching staff can't coach Jerry Rice right, why bother to draft a WR? Or more importantly, why do you have a p*** poor coaching staff?

Sorry, venting again...

But the buck doesn't stop solely at Smith. It goes up the food chain to Angelo and the bean counter too. Sell, sweet Virginia, sell.

1. Regarding Jerry Angelo. The emperical evidence points to a decidedly spotty resume. When one considers Roosevelt Williams, Rex Grossman, Michael Haynes, Terrance Metcalf, Cedric Benson, Mark Bradley, Dan Bazuin and Michael Okwo, you paint a picture of a GM who is not especially adept at judging collegiate talent. We may soon have to add Danneal Manning and Dusty Dvoracek (who looks incredibly weak at the point of attack) to this list as well. There are certainly some signficant successes for Angelo on draft day, but he has blown WAY too many picks in rounds 1-3. A quality, results oriented franchise would not tolerate this. Speaking of not tolerating...
