They’re earned their reputation. It’s not just fans that have this perception of the team. Anyways, it’s beating a dead horse. They operate with one hand tied behind their back, they tied their own hand though!
Resigning players that fit into the locker room and are proven successful in your system makes sense from a team building standpoint.
That said, bringing in a few free agents here and there can be very helpful if done right—and the guys fit into the locker room chemistry. We need a leader at Middle Linebacker this year, for instance.
Overall our team just sucks right now. We can do a lot this offseason to change that. But our failure in recent years has more to do with failed draft strategy than anything. Letting our two best lineman walk a few years ago didn’t help matters.
Its perfectly reasonable to hear the national media down on us. We sucked in the 90s. Got better in the 2000s, but went back to sucking the last few years. We haven’t won squat. Until we start winning, we’ll hear about how poorly run we are.
