The Question is on the Roster

[Toker Smurf]

If you go back to Gettleman's comments in 2013, then you will see that his original statement was 'sometimes'  the answer is on the roster. I do not think that we will pursue any of the 'bigger'  name free agent WRs and I am okay with that. 

Do I  think we will win the Super Bowl with our current cast of WRs?  No Do I think we would have,  with Benjamin in the line-up?  Possible but still probably not. While we are trying to win the Super Bowl every year,  I think we are still a couple of years away from getting the roster where Gettleman is aiming for and I don't think he will sacrifice cap dollars or a promising young WR to bring in another vet and hope for instant gratification. 

I think we roll with the killer bees (Bersin/Boykin /Byrd) in an effort to improve the depth of our receiving corps long term but it may hold us back a bit this year. I am still confident we will win the South.

Jesus Christ if I hear "we are still a couple years away from contention" one more time. We have a franchise QB, a MLB that's the 2nd coming of Ray Lewis, a top 5 D and pro bowler TE.. 

What more is it going to take for us to contend?! I can pick out a handful of teams that have the same amount of talent we do that beast year in and year out and consistently make it to the playoffs

Ask yourself that question, because in your predictions you have us at 7-9. LOL

If you read my post I definitely did not say we are a couple of years from 'contention'.   And I didn't pick us to finish below. 500.

Who are your handful of teams?  The only two teams I would consider saying 'beast'  year in and out are New England and Seattle. I still don't think we are at Seattle's talent level overall <close but not quite)  and New England has possibly the best QB of all time and probably the best coach of all time. 

My point was,  I don't think this is the year where Gettleman would push all his chips to the center of the table. He may never take that approach but I definitely don't think this is the year,  if he did.

I'd like to see a hellova lot better game day coaching to start.

Getting outta cap hell didn't exactly give us much help trying to build outside the draft.

We won't win a Super Bowl til Shula is no longer an employee.  So the best we can hope for in the interim is competitive years.
