Are We A Contender Now?!

They're not THAT far away.

The players on this team have heart, no doubt about it.  They gave all they had, coming out of the gate last season.  It's not their fault that they fell victim to injury and lack of talent with blockers and tacklers.


However, to the question posed by the OP;  Are we a contender now?  Absolutely not.  This team has miles to go, before they will be able to be considered "contenders", in the serious sense of the word.  Heck, they have exactly one (1) Offensive Tackle currently under contract, a huge question mark at the RG position, a grand total of one (1) starting quality LB on the team (Nick Vigil), facing a personnel shortage at CB, Lack of quality depth at WR, AND for some reason a black hole keeps swallowing up our TEs year after year.

I predict that it will take at least a year for the new coaching staff to fully implement what they want to do X's and O's wise, as it will take likely two offseasons for them to get the personnel on the team, and set up to accomplish what they want to do.
