What needs to be blown up first is the entire M.O. Changing personnel won't fix it. Since they refuse to blow up the method and philosophy, any other changes are just fixing a bad engine with duct tape and the end result is no SB ever. None in the first 50, none in the next 50.
If the blueprint is a failure, the building will ultimately fail.
Yeah...they don't necessarily draft what will be best for the football team...they draft positions that they can't afford to pay in free agency.
I get doing that once in a while...but with revenue sharing and the salary cap...we actually can afford those positions.
I KNEW when we drafted 2 Tackles that it was just going to cost the team at some point. If anything, draft 1...then retain Smith who was like 29 when they let him walk. Replacing 2 Tackles at once is a shock to the system, plus it robs you from improving another position.
