    Since we suck ass on D, by that logic, we could trade anyone for a 7th
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    No, trading other players would have made a bigger difference. We could be much worse. For example, if Gary was out all year.

    If the results of the game don't change after the trade, how's it a loss to the team?

    Our defense hasn't stopped anyone. If Gary were out we wouldn't stop anyone.

    That's hyperbole. They would have lost every single game if they never stopped anyone, so as bad as they were, they could have been worse.

    Right...but its also hyperbole to say we didn't suffer for losing Douglas. We did....and in the playoffs I would really like to have him.

    Its ok if you use hyperbole, just don't call me out when I do it back like I'm the bad guy.

    I was assessing what we really lost. I suggested the drop-off in play wasn't very noticable and it probably didn't change the outcomesof any games.

    You tell me if that's equivalent as saying out defense hasn't stopped anyone, so losing our most dominant pass rusher wouldn't have mattered.
