With all this Abe trade talk, which player or players do you wish we could have kept? There are quite a few to pick from. Here are a few examples Rob Moore Terrance Mathis James Farrior James Hasty
wouldnt joe namath fall into this catagory.....but im too young to know/care/put that i guess i would put....aaron glenn/victor green
Mine are Adrian Murrell, and Rob Moore...Although it's hard to really be upset about losing Murrell with Martin being his replacement
Victor Green was overrated. Yes, he was the most sure handed tackler on the team at the time. Yes, he rang a lot of bells in his carer, but the dude got burned way too many times because he was over-aggressive. The most noteworthy was the pass to Eddie-Mac in Denver in January of 99. That play turned the game. If you remember the play, McCaffrey and Smith lined up on the wrong sides. Elway said, No, stay there, and ran a play action pass. Green bit, and Elway threw up the most horrible pass into the wind that hung forever. NEVER should have been completed, but Green (as I've heard Brian Cox say) tried to be a hero. After easy Ed caught that ball, every play for the rest of the afternoon was a 30 yard run by Davis. Victore did give his heart and soul, and never got the big payday, but he was not a bigtime player for the reasons I mentioned.
Yes on Namath. His last season was with the Rams. George Sauer who retired too early comes to mind as well.
Another person I really wish we didn't lose even though he was on the roster with our last two FB's was Lorenzo Neal
haha yea i missed him too actually...i didnt mind his trade once chad starting playing though(but now that excuse has faded)
An all time low when they let him walk for free. Namath was at the end of his career, but Riggins was in his prime. They didn't really replace Riggins until drafting Freeman Mc Neil six seasons later.
Aaron Glenn. You got it. I also wish they didnt screw with Ken O'Brien before he left and gave him the respect he deserved.
