Oh well...welcome to the WZ.

Too bad. We had stellar standards at both when we were winning ships.

You misremember the 94 season then. Or was Steve Young crawling across the Silverdome because he liked the feel of turf on his body?

aren't they up against the cap?

No they do not. Cleveland and Philly are literally the only ones with abundance. Other teams are cutting disappointing young players or vets that got beat out. Don't expect anyone other than depth pieces.

The record breaking season? It was bad early. I do remember that. And Steve still had a tendency to hold it too long too.

It was very bad early. It got better but it was never elite. Solid group. Skill guys were elite and elite qb made them look better than they were.

s**t the KC game the week prior was even worse
I wonder if Joe had a tendency to hold onto the ball too long here and that's why he got wrecked as well

Yeah, that ship sailed a couple months ago to upgrade. It'll all just be depth at this point. Although it can't be too difficult to upgrade over McKivitz. That said they like him because he knows the system. He just sucks at it.

I'd be for getting a guy like Leatherwood and keep him inactive while you work with him.

I have zero issues with projects like that. Just as long as they are healthy. 3 prong approach.
