I am not trying to create yet one more do we believe Russ Brandon thread but how can we be one of the clubs to come out and announce this analytical money ball process we are going to hang our hats on? We all know some other clubs that operate in this manner but what is with all of this publicity that Russ is bringing to us about this method? Like he's just discovered the fountain of youth?
What ever happened to just hiring solid people with proven backgrounds that get the job done? We have failed miserably over the past 15 years at this time and time again. Based on statistical odds, shouldn't we eventually get it right at least a few times out of many?
I'm not buying into this analytical moneyball crap. It sure sounds like more salesmanship BS from Russ. Just take a look at all of the moves we have made since the glory days and you can see a common theme. The same guys in the same positions making poor decisions. The only good they have done is that they have continually kept pumping money into Ralph's pockets year in and year out and they have produced a horrible product for us to view.
Since 1994 this team is 136 and 168. We have had five winning seasons out of 19 yrs. Seven coaches in the last 15 yrs. 10 QBs in the last 16 yrs. There is no secret formula to success. It's a common sence recipe. Draft young talent and keep the good core players. Select good FA talent to fill in the cracks. Maintain a healthy balance of spending and cutting with regard to the cap. Hire good management to make the big decisions and hire coaches that get it! We have done none of this for the past 15 yrs and that is why we watch crap every year. Now we are going to pull the white rabbit out of the magic hat and win the super bowl from it?
I want to be optimistic but I feel more and more like Op used to sound.
