I missed where I said that we had to have all pros. Not sure we are on the same page. I’ll take the L on that. 

What I mean is that of course you'd be best off building a great offense AND a great defense, but that's almost impossible to pull off in a hard cap league and is definitely impossible to maintain. You're not going to be able to afford to keep everyone even if you're knocking the draft and free agency out of the park and turning them into stars. Then you gotta pay 'em.

Yet it gets done. Well, two great phases is not realistic. Good and good would suit me. Very good and a good… It comes down to heart and stuff like that when the big opportunities come up. Who wants it, who can play the cleanest game, etc.

Saying this without relating it to our current situation, just in a bubble:

Coaching and GM’ing are key to it. I think system continuity helps a TON too. Pittsburgh has always had that part of it, the continuity. They are an easy example and are a bit down now but even so let’s see how they end up… it won’t be Tepper Panthers bad, you can put money on that. 

Commanders seem to be doing well with a defensive HC and a young good QB.

Nepotism...that's how. 

In less of those cases than it appears. If incompetence takes root in the management structure, it quickly will overwhelm the hiring processes. Idiots multiply like rabbits and corporations are the ultimate cowards with next to zero ability to take the trash out. Poor performance is so very rarely a reason to lose your job in corporate America.
