Of course we'll actually win occasionally...but it won't be sustained. They don't really use free agency and have a small scouting staff.
It's a mom and pop shop basically competing against big corporations.
You keep mentioning management, but management isn't the one who caused Palmer to get his knee blown out. They weren't the ones who hit AB in the head over the middle, then pushed an opposing coach.
And what about losing to backup QBs to the Texans?
I'm not saying it's going to happen next year, and I'm not saying I trust them to build a dynasty like the Patriots, but things CAN change. And this team's recent history has been good. Quality coordinators and coaches, combined with blue chip players, CAN WIN.
Yes, they do need to be more aggressive in FA. And I still think that we need a coach who is willing to tell Mike that that's what it takes to take the next step.
