Quote:Nope.  The 2002 roster was more competitive because it had better players.  Much better players, at that.  So, I don't even buy into your hypothetical.    

 

Well then we'll just have to agree to disagree. 

 

That 2002 roster had Fred and Jimmy, so I'll give 'em that. But Henderson and Stroud weren't to their potential till after that year so I'm not including them as you will. The overall roster really wasn't all that talented. Can you name any of the LB from that 2002 team? Their DB were pretty much awful. How about at DE?? Brackens was gone/ injured by then. Their OL was suspect. No Boselli. No Searcy. 

 

Where was all this "talent" in 2002??

 

Sounds like you just don't want to give Tom Coughlin or coaching in general, any credit here.
