Who needs Jason Alexander when I can have Joey Lawrence?

Josh McDaniels has now officially disassembled a potent passing attack, trading Tony Scheffler to the Lions (who now have a dynamite two-TE set) for a 5th round pick. This was the final move in his bid to build the most inept passing game in the league. Kyle Orton throwing to Eddie Royal, Jabar Gaffney and Daniel Graham...are you scared yet?

What should be painfully obvious (at least it is to me) is that the 49ers severely overpaid to get Ted Ginn Jr. from the Dolphins. I know a 5th round pick isn't much, but the Steelers got a 5th round pick for Santonio Holmes and the Broncos got a 5th round pick for Scheffler. It should go without saying that Ginn is nowhere near as good as either of those players, so why the 49ers felt the need to trade a 5th rounder for a bum receiver and overrated returner, I'll never know. Let me put it this way...give me Tony Scheffler, and I can build a successful passing game. Give me Ted Ginn and I can build one of the worst passing games in the league.

But going back to the Broncos...at what point does Pat Bowlen cut the cord on this horrible experiment gone wrong? Is this really what he signed up for when he fired Shanahan and hired McDaniels, to get rid of all of his good young players? When McDaniels was hired, the issue with the Broncos was simple; their defense sucked and needed a huge infusion of talent and youth. Have they gotten that infusion of talent and youth? Not really, unless Robert Ayers and Alphonso Smith excite you (and they shouldn't). Instead they've gone about destroying the one aspect of their team that was any good, the passing game. Cutler throwing to Marshall and Scheffler was dynamic; now they're all gone. The Denver Broncos are my early favorite for "projected worst franchise of the next decade," and I'm not kidding. You don't win in this league by trading all of your good young players. What's the point of the draft if, when you actually hit on players, you just end up trading them?

At this point, I think it goes without saying that had McDaniels been the head of NBC back in the early '90s, he would have fired the cast of Seinfeld and replaced them with the cast of Blossom. yadda yadda yadda Josh McDaniels is a huge fuck-up. Whoa!
