All I'm saying is we are behind teams like Green Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans, talent wise. Not by much, but we are.
I'd even add in Philly but, do I think we can beat those teams, yes, but, we still have our work cut out for us.
We have to get out of this salary cap pinch that we're in. If you heard Jerry today he said they may approach free agency the same way next year. We'll be in better shape for the start of 2013.
We will still be able to compete, but I don't think we see a Super Bowl for at least 3 years from now. I may be way off on this and if I am I'll take shit for it.
Think about this, we have a head coach that is in his first full year. We have DC that is in his first year. We're going to have growing pains in the defense. It won't be an elite defense in its first year. This team was 6-10 last year.
With our schedule we can win about 9 or 10 games. That's competing, but it's not being at the level of a team like Green Bay or New Orleans will be at.
I know there's parity in the NFL now but we aren't quite there yet.
