I get it. At the same time, if we get there and get knocked out like we always do, we’re in worse shape than we started. I don’t think it’s as cut and dry. There’s talent there we just need to play better.

Thirteen teams now get knocked out every year after getting there. But you don't have a chance of winning it all if you don't get there. But you are correct that there is talent there already.

Winning it all without a franchise QB is very very hard. We can't get a franchise QB if we don't have draft picks and/or salary cap space. Winning the draft and winning free agency are very hard without picks or money. We have the talent to make the playoffs. Lots of teams make the playoffs without a franchise QB. But we need to focus on getting the QB first if we want the trip to be a happy one.

I'm sure all of your serious focusing is going to get us exactly what we need. Let us know when you've accomplished your goal!

And your opinions do make a difference? You got what you wanted so far. We are spending max cap. We moved up in the draft. We still have Dennis Allen. Looks like we have accomplished your goals: 2-5 and denial.

Forever the optimist.

I am, however, a much more pragmatic thinker.

You can’t win the powerball if you don’t buy a ticket. I’m more in line with we bought enough tickets already. Now we’re just blowing wads of money we’re not getting back.

That next ticket could be it, though, papz.
