…and that we do.
Another pretty disappointing season, but what little actual talent we have on this team is obviously eroding – our best years are now behind us.
So, we have an erratic QB, a very good RB entering his twilight, one very productive receiver, one surprisingly quiet receiver, a stud left tackle, and a bunch of chaff on defense. It might be amazing to see what sort of tackle numbers we’d be getting had we just invested one decent draft pick into a solid middle linebacker – this guy Zack Swift is putting up really big numbers nearly every season, but he’s still pretty lousy (52 Run D makes him a titan on this team, but nothing special generally).
With more and more of our talent just wearing out, and retirements likely just around the corner, this is looking really, really shaky. I hate to have a team go 8-8… it just reeks of “if things had just broken a bit better here or there, you could have done something with the season.” Considering that I think our window is basically closing on us, that’s not a good way to feel.
