Big C's "Is It the Talent" Poll

I think Matty's pretty close to dead on.

It's not a coaching issue. All coaches make mistakes. We aren't at a disadvantage here.

The reason we are losing is not because the front office hasn't been trying, or because they "don't know how to build a winner", its that we invest big dollars in all the wrong places.

For all their faults though, they've done a great job identifying the issues we have. Better than the average FO in that respect. They have just skimped on their pro scouting responsibilities, IMO.

We are more talented than a 5-11 team as demonstrated by our very unfavorable close game record for a year ago.

This 2007 team will be closer in resemblence to the 2005 team than the 2006 team which is good. The defense will be somewhere inbetween the years and the offense will be the best we've seen it in awhile.
