There's a reason that team's like Denver and NE consistently win over long periods of time and with lots of different players and it because of their culture of winning.Teams like Oak, Wash and Clev have developed cultures of losing and because of that they continue to lose no matter who is on the roster.

Shanny has seemed to start to turn the Skins now ingrained culture of losing into a culture of winning. This change wont happen overnight and it wont be a linear progression but IMO its starting to happen.
The reason New England has sustained success over a long period of time is Tom Brady, not a "culture" of winning. When did Denver sustained such a run? Since Peyton got there they have been good - last year and this year. I think you are greatly over estimating the "winning breeds winning" theory. That holds true maybe over the course of a season, but not over the course of years. Even the Steelers had lousy teams for a decade or so in their history.
