The talent level isn’t “anywhere close”? Come on now. This is just delusional.
That being said, I do expect a significant improvement in record with this very similar roster. So all this is gonna be mooted anyway.
What I find hilarious is the negative nancies who want to keep bitching about personnel and also maintain the coaching is a lot better. They want to be able to have their 7-9 predictions because it’s the easy thing to do when the team doesn’t sign the free agents they want personally. To explain how this is possible with such an improved coaching staff, we are now inventing the myth that the talent “is no where close to last year.”
Ridiculous.
If the gulf between McCarty and Garrett is as vast as has been argued, then the roster as it stands TODAY, barring serious injury, wins 2+ more games than last year’s team did. Never mind after we continue to make free agent acquisitions and the draft.
Don’t get fucking chicken and start backpedaling because of this yearly free agency “the sky is falling” bonanza.
