Quote:I've noticed that the people who always refer to teams that have gone from bottom feeders to contenders in a year or two never mention that fact as well, nor do they mention the fact that most of those teams only sustained notable success for a couple of years afterwards either...Oh sure they didn't drop back down as far as they were, but their turnaround didn't keep them running HOT for very long...

The one that always amused me was the Kansas City Chiefs turnaround.  People pointed to them as an example of what SHOULD have happened with the Jags.  If the Chiefs could do it....  They completely ignored the fact that in the season where the Chiefs had a horrific record, they also had a team with 6 guys who made the Pro Bowl.  That was not a team that was void of talent, and they didn't blow the roster up. 

 

That same year, the Jags earned their record.  They were bad.  There was little talent on the roster.  There certainly weren't multiple Pro Bowlers on the team.  But, they were certainly being held to the same standard by a certain population on this board.
