I Hope we Lose Out

Now, if it happens, and the things I mentioned actually occur, then maybe it's for the best. The thing that worries me is that if we win a 2 or 3 more games, most everyone will be back next year. If we somehow win at least 7 games, then Mike probably gives Marvin another extension and everything stays basically the same for a couple more years.

So I guess what I'm saying is that I don't want us to lose out, or even finish with a losing record...but at the same time, I really want to move on from Marvin and shake the roster up a bit. Ugh, what a season!  

I don't know how much hope I'd have for a top 5 pick. I've already accepted that Marvin will be here next season with no coaching changes because Mike Brown. So with Marvin and Co. in the draft room, I'd fully expect us to take someone that gets the fan base excited. We hear all about how they're performing great in camp, we see some plays in preseason. Then we get to the regular season, where our top 5 pick is trotting out onto the football field to cover the kickoff. Then we don't see him again until the next kickoff or punt.
