I had really hoped they were not going to go through "re-boots", that the drafting and development would make them able to plug guys in as others left.

I felt the same way, but you're right. Maybe we just lucked out in the '10 and '11 drafts. It will be so depressing if we have to look back on the amazing careers of players like Atkins, Dunlap, Leon, Nelson, Whit, Green, Dalton, Gio, etc, and know that even an amazing core like that was unable to win even one playoff game. It's sad for them and the fans deserve better as well.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
