And FFS is dead-on when he writes
Other than re-signing Bledsoe, that was TD's biggest mistake this year.

Exactly- why give up 3 draft picks for your future QB, then extend Drew and pay him more money than he was under contract for. $8.75 mil for 2004.
With all the free agent QBs, TD could have negotiated a smaller contract for Drew, instead of a bigger one. Or better yet, waited and signed Kerry Collins.
And what of TD's refusal to give up next year's #3 for Drew Henson - who was good enough for Parcell's to commit to.
The masses will argue that Teflon Tom needed to lower Drew's hit. But why? They had enough cap room to fit him in for 2004 and they haven't used the cap savings to improve the OL or anywhere else with impact players (except Schoebel)
