1. FA has been going on less than 48 hours...just because we haven't gotten a "big name" guy doesn't mean we're not going 0-16 next year. Pioli should be able to find some quality guys to plug in here man. And just because teams are signing the big name guys (e.g. da Bears) doesn't mean they're winning it all or even contenders - look at the Redskins signing Haynesworth last year
2. We can't call Tyson Jackson a good or bad pick yet. Obviously he didn't produce as much as most of us would have liked, but to expect a rookie to be a pro-bowler is 1st year is just not plausible. He was a solid starter for us by the end of the year. We're going to develop these guys - which takes time. Just because a guy is a 1st rounder doesn't mean he has to be an all-star or he's a bust. There are a few guys each year that hit the ground running and exceed expectations, but those players are the exception.
In summary, lets not even think of comparing Pioli to Carl (he who shall not be named) after his first year. You've got to give him time. I'm glad to see your so passionate about our team tho man, just gotta stay positive and patient.
