Quote:Lol no it won't. We have two huge components coming back that we didn't have at all last year. Add at least two staters from FA. At least one more from the draft.


Boom. You've turned half the defensive roster over. It's not going to take 2-3 yrs.

I suppose you're referring to Fowler and Marks? Fowler is unproven in the NFL as yet; we don't know what we'll get out of him this year except rookie performance. And Marks? Again, he is a 'question Marks' at best. And since when have we gotten a 'game changer' from f/a? Answer... seldom, or not for long.

 

These are the facts, not delusional, wishful thinking, 'pie in the sky' rhetoric. Our defense is B A D (as in not very good) and it isn't going to get fixed overnight... just as our offense didn't get fixed over night. It will take some good drafting and costly f/a acquisition over the course of a couple of years to upright this boat. And bear in mind that those rookies we draft are going to require a couple of years of development before we (hopefully) start seeing the payoff. So we are, like it or not, at least a couple more years out of being 'legit' playoff contenders; I repeat... 'legit' playoff contenders.

 

That's reality. Deal with it.
