I certainly don't disagree but the thing that worries me is that they're trying to do it by adding free agents and band aids rather then building a core of young talent to build around. I'd love to be the first team to successfully pull it off, but if you want to be a regular playoff contender you need to do it by building young talent and adding role players. Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Indy, New England, Philly, NY Giants are all products of building a talented young core and then building around them.
