The FO seems incapable of receiving messages.  If last season didn't send one, nothing will. 

Problem is, they have convinced themselves that last year was an aberration and not the trend it actually looks like. 

The myth of drafting well hasn't been busted, it's been obliterated.  And when the thing you hang your hat on vanishes, then you really are screwed. 

Anyway, with Marvin here, it matters very little who the players are.  Get ready for a mass exodus of players who want to win a SB and know it'll never happen here.  Money will not be our biggest obstacle, perception will.
