If we only win 4 games then some coaches will also have to be fired, and it would make it harder to get decent replacements. Our current DC was like our sixth choice. We had college DCs turning us down.
And, finally, I believ there is something to the argument of "learning how to win". At some point players need to believe they can win to actually win. It has been 4 years since we had a winning record. A lot of players on our roster don't know what the mindset of a winning team is like.
We had 2 wins and got Bell and Reader to come here.
Money talks and next year it sounds like the cap is going to drop so there will be a lot of guys who need jobs due to being cap casualties.
If ever there was a year to pick top 5, this would be it. Draft a couple starters in round 1 and 2 and then you use FA and the cap space to fill a few holes, and this team could be in the hunt sooner then I thought. I thought 2022, but 2021 could be an interesting season if they draft well and hit on a couple pieces in FA.
