Quote: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.
