And I actually heard a few "experts" say that we had bought a lot of talent in the free agent market, but the big question was coaching.
The whole "no one thought we had any talent" narrative just is not true. But it doesn't matter because the coaches proved they were up to the task. Lots of teams with talent don't win.
Who were these experts you heard say this was anything but a below average roster? I know people in the league didn’t say that, so I’m curious who you heard say it? There is a difference between we got some talent in FA and this roster as a whole wasn’t thought to be bottom half coming into the year.
In reality most people thought we went backwards picking Hendrickson over Lawson and Awuzie over WJ3. They all said we had the worst O line in the league. Our linebackers were unproven and we had an elite safety and a journeyman. Nothing other than the weapons and Bates/Reader screamed quality players…probably why our preseason odds to win the SB were so bad, along with our win total being 6.
