Want me to really mess with your head? .... they should have made a huge offer to Garcia.
lol
Hey, the guy has reawakened the Bucs hasn't he?
Of course not, they don't have Brady (or anyone close to his calbre).
Most receivers are only as good as the guy tossing the meatball to them.
I still say if the Dolphins had of kept him and found themselves a better QB they'd have had a better season. Seems like several announcers agree with me on that, as several this past week alone pointed out that Miami all but handed him over to the Pats, and mentioned it in order to illustrate why they are having such a bad season.
So I don't think my earlier comments were all that far off base. (except for the "marquee player" thing)
In other news the Giants got booed off the field at half time against the Chiefs, ha ha.

The one guy they passed on that they should have grabbed was Drew Brees.
Instead they traded a 2nd round pick for Daunte Culpepper. (This was the previous management though)
In this past offseason, Trent Green was really the best guy available. Poor QB play is a plague on the league right now. The only real solution is to draft guys and develop them yourself. There aren't "marquee" guys available no matter how much money you're willing to spend.
As for the announcers saying they handed Welker over to the Pats, how convenient of them to forget to mention that the Fins got a 2nd and 7th round pick for him, and all the Raiders got for Randy Moss was a 4th rounder.
But the Dolphins are the ones who they say "gave their player away".
They just like to sensationalize things, go figure, it's television.
