I think that if it takes more than 2 years to develop into an NFL-caliber player the player is not worth the investment.  If we rode undeveloped talent for longer than that, we become a farm team for the others. I get kinda pissed when we develop talent for 3 years then they have a contract year and demand top dollar.  The window should cliose after two years.  Move on.  If another team wants your project, let them have it, but the NFL is about performance, not potential.

What bothers me is this--we give the first and second rounders more time to develop that the day 3 and undrafted players.  It should be the other way around. If you are a first rounder and you are not on the field as a starter by year two--especially if you decided to come out after 3 years in college--then I am going to have a talk with my GM and you.  In my view, Legette has 1 year.  Raym, on the other hand, might need 2. 

The issue that makes it more difficult for us is that we have been going through a cycle of terrible coaching hires and replacing them every year or every other year, cycling through GMs, scouting staff, etc. That's one of the issues that makes it hard for me to evaluate what Bryce really will be after his first season, it was a disaster around him. I don't know that he will develop into what we thought he would be, but not many guys would have a chance in their first year with all the turmoil he had from a personnel and coaching perspective. I'd say the same thing for Johnathan Mingo too.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
