We do have some talent, but that talent is aging and this team has way too many holes to compete for a championship (and to me that's what it's all about).

I love AJ Green, Geno, Carlos Dunlap and even think Andy Dalton is a good QB.  But let's face it, this roster is incomplete to compete.  We need to fix the OL and LB corps in a bad way.  Not a 1-year fix but a multi-year fix through the draft.  We're not going to sign make-a-difference free agents so we need to stockpile draft picks.  The only way to do this is to deal the best things we have, sadly.

Right now we can get value for some of our better players.  It may not be a popular thing for many on these boards but at least sets a course and a vision for the future.  Right now I'm no longer buying that this product can work, so every year that goes by is another year wasted.  Not one player or coach can fix this mess.  It's going to take a couple of years minimum, and that's assuming we grab a couple free agent difference makers (which probably won't happen with the current management philosophy).  

Let's start now while we still have some young talent, like Mixon, WJ3, Hubbard, Bates and Noah Williams (TBD).  I dangle our best players to anyone that will listen.

It's time....

I do believe you got your biblical names mixed up 8n there, but I get what you're saying...
