Really? Cause to me it feels like we're finally struggling toward the light.
McBean is working from the BB playbook. Get what you can early for talent that didn't work out, build from the draft. Pats make cuts all the time that seem silly at the time, but they always improve the roster because they get draft picks early before the wheels fall off these players. SW has loads of talent but how has that translated on the field? I predict 2015 was his best season in the NFL. Always hurt, you cant help your team into the playoffs if you cant play. BB looks two, three years into the future and cuts players like Sammy in time to get something for them. It works.
I think we are going to do much better this year under McD than many think, possibly make a wildcard run. But if we suck this year in the name of building a SB bound team next few years, so be it. Ive waited over 20 years for a SB team, I can wait a few more to do it right. Rex and Whaley promised a "win now" approach, and THAT is what has set us back 2-3 years. The SW reach was all about sacrificing the future to win now; it didn't work. Time to reset. I think McD has a 3-5 year plan to win the SB. Need to give him at least a full season to see if he's taking us in the right direction.
