Your disconnect with so many of us on this subject is centered around the mantra of scaring them and shaking their confidence. Preaching urgency and the great opportunity is perfectly fine. Preaching its now or never not so much.
Oh no, not their fragile confidence!!
Saying that a lot of things can happen between now and next year should have ZERO effect on their confidence to win Sunday. Funny how you want to brag on the "culture" Zac has built but at the same time claim their confidence is so fragile that it could be hurt by the truth.
There was a discussion in the other thread about leadership techniques and "stressing the opportunity". Being honest makes the opportunity more rare and valuable. "Stressing the opportunity" is an accepted effective leadership tool. It provides more drive by increasing the motivation to succeed. It reduces the chances of complacency.
It just makes sense to me to make sure this team understands how common it has been in NFL history for hot young teams/player to never win a championship. The media is giving a lot of play to how young so many of our top players are. I hope they don't take their future success for granted.
