Same Sad Song

there is hope with todays nfl parity. if they would have eeked into the playoffs last year they might have actually made some noise since they were on a hot streak. plenty enough teams have big turnarounds these days since there is so little diff from the top to the bottom. carolina to the superbowl or san diego 4-12 to 12-4 last year. so way #1 is just a little more luck with improved play.

after the non playoff 32-32 run i would have liked to have seen a lot more overhaul similar to minnesota. but that is just me. as far as long term/big picture, i think the most significant positive change that could happen is ownership. benson has very little football smarts. he only became a fan after he bought the team in his 50\'s. compare that to the rooney family owning the steelers since 1933. benson doesnt have the fire or passion to win. compare him to al davis or jerry jones. benson interest is in being profitable as much or more than it is the team\'s success. compare him to the growing number of owners who want to buy and own their stadiums or the albeit reckless but obvious willingness to throw one\'s own cash as a dan snyder. he ain\'t the head of the nfl finance committee for nuthin\'. he is old enough to croak anytime. it appears the team will stay in his family with his granddaughter taking over the lead. this is a real wild card. could be better or worse. way #2 is ownership other than benson. troops only succeed to the ability of their general\'s leadership, not beyond.

the third way is to get rid of aaron brooks. this will cure even the defensive ills. LOL. nah, two ways is enough tonight.
