Not sure how I feel about all of it, he still tells the same story about Brown truly wanting a winning team here, and spending money to get there.
Also talks about their difference in how they wanted to build a team, stating that Brown wants a team full of "Ferrari's." Just did a quick skim, so if others have anything to say, feel free to chime in.
I will say.. the breakdown of Lewis' losses in the playoffs is kinda crazy. Palmer gets ACL damaged on his first throw, Dalton throws 3 picks, he has a backup QB in 3 playoff games, and Hill's fumble along with Pacman's penalty. Article does put in perspective how Lewis did change the franchise.
When he uses the term "Ferrari's," I'm assuming he means the premium positions, right?
As in stack the premium positions like offensive weapons and CBs, then go less on non-premium positions like IOL and LB?
