I agree with the coaches. We lose our home field advantage by making the visiting team comfortable. Screw the visiting team. Yes I know this is a money-driven thing. But it'd be nice if our owner actually put *winning* at a higher priority.

This goes hand in hand with the "let's tank the season so we get a high draft position next year" talk. By the same people who complain that we have crappy drafts every year.

Boy did Ronnie just screw himself out of how many million dollars when his contract comes up? His stock/leverage with other teams has gone to doo doo just because he won't get a designated driver. I used to think he was intelligent too.

Signing Haynos now isn't such a tragedy. If we get better TEs in the draft or through trades between now and the end of preseason, we can always cut Haynos and that's the end of that. Of course I'm assuming that the terms of his deal are not heavy with signing bonus $. JC

How far back in time are we talking about? There are dozens of players from the 70s that are virtually unknown today largely because millions of today's sports fans weren't born yet.

Henne has proven himself to have great potential. Trading him would be crazy. Tebow is going to be a gamble in the NFL. I'm not saying he definitely won't succeed (as will about 100 posts from others following this one) but I think he's a lot more suited for a backup role, possibly doubling as a receiver because of his size and strength. I'd take him as a later-round pick if he's availabl
