I know it has been tough. I have lived through the last near decade of crap the same as you. I too hoped TD would be able to turn us into the Steelers, but realized year 3 that just wasn't going to happen.
I am asking, lets give marv and co a clean slate. I know it is tough, I really do. But Marv IS doing this the right way. Just because you have cap room, that doesn't mean you spend it to 'just' spend it.
It has been mid 90's since we had a real GM, Real HC with a real PLAN! We have set systems now. Coaches that believe in those systems and can coach them. We are now putting players in that system that fit. Marv is bringing in guys that are 4-6 year veterans that are on thier way up. They have the best years in front of them. I know they aren't flashy, I know they aren't names, but most of the NE Squad that has been so successful, weren't names either in the begining.
We are EXACTLY were NE was when Kraft, Pioli and BB started doing the same thing. Old school, build though the draft. I feel that we are just two offseasons away from being a contender for no less then a perinial playoff spot. A team that MUST be delt with for the AFCE Title and an AFC playoff spot every year. there is no way you can ask more than that. If you can get to the post season then everyone has the same shot at the superbowl.
Marv will take this season and get the system in place. We willl give these new kids a year to see if they are what we need. I am sure most of them will be.
The Meat of the team will be acclimated to the system. Then this next offseason with over 20 mill in estimated cap room, we can truly attack Free agency and fill the needs that remain. it is much easier to plug in 4 new guys instead of 14.
I am asking, we try to be more positive on the board. This team needs our support and positive Mojo, not constant bashing and ripping on them. The guys that are here are going to try and bust thier butts to win. Marv MUST be allowed his fair shot. Ripping on him in his first couple of months on the job isn't fair at all. He had NOTHING to do with the last 6 years. For all the man HAS done for this franchise and his willingness to take the job and try to turn this around, he deserves our respect and a clean slate. he isn't going to be perfect, but I do think he will get this thing turned around.
Let between now and the end of the 2007 season play out. I think we will all be pleased at what happens.
Peace.
