Quote:I'll say this, the top teams who are constantly competing didn't get there over night. Lynch has been with Seattle for a while, Clay Matthews is on a second contract in Green Bay, Megatron has been catching TD's for a while in Detroit. It takes a while to accumulate the collection of talent for the foundation to compete. That's the process we are in now.


Do they need to win to justify what they are doing is correct... Yes, but that expectation IMO starts this year. 6-7 wins is what I think they need.

Nobody is arguing that. Nobody. This team absolutely needs to double their win total this season. If they don't, thats not "getting better". What Yo Boy is failing to realize is, we agree with his assumption of getting more wins and no more excuses. Its year 3, some production absolutely needs to happen. But because I'm not going to put unrealistic expectations on the season, according to him, "I'm used to losing". If it was up to Yo Boy, the entire thing would get burnt down again next season if we were not in the playoffs. Running a business....errrrr.....NFL organization is not as easy as the casual fan thinks it is. Its easy to express your opinion behind your computer, or at the stadium with a beer in your hand and your gut hanging out. But theres a reason only one team wins a Super Bowl. Not everybody gets that chance. If you want a stable franchise, what they are doing right now, is how you build it. Draft, develop, use FA as a tool to replenish or fill any needs, contracts that are team friendly ect. Everything Caldwell and khan are doing is absolutely the right way to go about it. And if they can get the right pieces, this team can be a perennial playoff contender. 

 

I think ill take the patient approach and let THIS SEASON play out before call for any personnel changes. I don't need Yo Boy and Gene "Sparky and Ladies Softball" Frennete to tell me theres No More Excuses.
