Quote:To prove your point, you need to review the rosters of those teams prior to their seasons of breakout success. We all hear to the point of saturation how bad of a job Gene Smith did, did any of those new regimes inherit a mess like what Caldwell got himself into?

 

sure the Lions had Matt Millen's mess as a worse case example and they where competitive in year 2 and in the playoffs in year 3.

 

Seattle was dealing with Matt Hasselbeck and a huge amount of money thrown at WR that produced nothing. Behind that they had a 1st round bust in Arron Curry at LB and where relying on Deon Grant as the SS

 

The Broncos had Tim Tebow at QB when Elway came in............

 

 I can go on and on, those teams sucked for a reason, and they turned it around pretty quick, same way the Jags can and should be expected to. This 4 year line is garbage we bought with Gene Smith why would we fall for the SAME trap again? 2 year Dave make this team competitive.
