The direction this team may go

This team in the skilled is up in age. They just may take a page out of the Celtics book and start unloading big name players to start the rebuilding process. Does Franco name bring back memories an ex Seahawk.

Do you guys remember how long it took for us to finally get a decent quarterback?  Bradshaw was the last really good one and it took 5-years before he was any good from what I have heard.  We had Neil O'Donnell and he was just above averge.  Ben is better than both of those guys so this organization better think twice before letting him go.  We've got a very limited time left to getting Ben back to a championship but it's going to take a massive transformation and a change in leadership before that's possible IMHO.

 You can loose games without a 100 million dollar QB too......Plus the cap space they would gain. I hope they don't, but can see the business choice if they did. Troy is in same position. His salary compared to his age... makes him  expendable too. Lamaar Woodley is another pile of cash that could be spent elsewhere. For the numbers of sacks he's getting... any average OLB would suffice. I'm a big Ben R fan.... but he's made as many mistakes as anyone else this year. Granted... he's not getting much time.... but he DOES hold the ball too long.... as if he's looking for the home run.... when a single will be just as good. It seems there are NO routes of less than 10 yds.... why is this? or it he isn't looking for the dump off or short gain/ Again... I'm not talking in a feelings tpe thought.... more choices based off money & the salary cap.
