But I base my views on evidence and trends, not blind trust and belief. And so far in three years, Bodine is still a bottom-tier starter and hasn't progressed enough to give me confidence in that he will miraculously jump from 28th in the league to Top 15 within 2-3 years (which is the window this core has left).

Couldn't have said it any better myself.  I don't get this "ego" thing that has crept in here lately.  We are fans of the team.  Some of us have played these positions and maybe even coached them a little.  We're just going off what we see on the field, and then using the FO actions and their words to speculate on their mindset regarding these guys.  I've said that Bodine has indeed improved, and that even Og has taken some steps forward.  The problem is, as you have correctly noted, we don't have time for this baby steps bullshit.  The time to get it done is NOW.  AD is 29, AJG too....the core of this team is all pushing 30 or there.  How long are we gonna wait on this organization to realize its mistakes and do something about it?  Alexander's ass should have been canned last season after that abomination up front.  He hand selected these guys, after all.  If not canned, he should at least be stripped of any say so in regards to talent evaluation, and demoted from Assist.
