I disagree. Yeah, the record sucks, everyone knows this. It takes time for a new coaching staff to get the players they want to run the systems that want to run. That is one reason MB is so loath to change coaches all the time like Cleveland. But if you were around for the "show up and collect your checks" teams, it was very apparent this was a Sunday job to those players and they didn't really care whether they won or lost as long as they got paid. I don't think you could point to a single player on today's team and say they don't care about winning. In fact, you can tell they hate it, as most of them were brought in from winning programs now, and they seem to be behind what the coaches are building.
