Now we sit here a decade later. Carl Peterson looks competent compared to what followed, this team has sucked for the better part of a decade. Meanwhile, good organizations like the Steelers, Ravens, Packers, Broncos, Seahawks all win without tanking every other year. But don't worry, we get that #1 pick, everything will be fixed.

The rebuild after Vermeil was absolutely necessary.
What the **** were we supposed to do? Jared Allen ****ing hated Carl and wanted out. Tony Gonzalez was just sick of losing and wanted out. Our HOF offensive line were all about to retire. We had no good players on defense, an aging and feeble QB, and dick else. Derrick Johnson wasn't even that good.
All we ****ing had was Larry Johnson, Dustin Colquitt (
), and an unproven Dwayne Bowe and Tamba Hali.
Yeah, I'd say knocking that shit down was the way to go.
