"But — and this can't be said enough — Charley Casserly knew there were problems and also knew how to fix them."

Sure, let Aaron Glenn go for nothing and throw in an unexpected, extra draft pick for a terrible replacement, trade up with a division rival losing another critical draft pick for a "pass rusher" who to this day has done nothing in this league... I'm not sure I'd call those moves "solutions."

It's a wonder the team every won any games at all back in those days.

Seth Wand. I'd forgotten all about that guy. Northwest Missouri State. Outstanding place to look for prospects, Casserly. Show everyone how smart you are by drafting guys from the most obscure colleges imaginable.

I think back on that clusterfk and am simply amazed that I am still an active fan of the team.
