What are the odds of our current team improving?
I don't see the two situations as close to comparable as you do apparently.
Boston didn't miss playoffs for 4-5 years.
Around the same. Fans (by and large, not this forum specifically) like to root for teams that get to the playoffs even if they can't get passed the 2nd round.
Would love to hear the dogs explanation on this
Olshey honeydicked us with good contracts like RoLo, Ed, and Aminu.
Yeah, I didn't think he'd go full retard with Turner and MeyLe, but boy did he surprise me.
Two very different approaches. Which one are you advocating? Sounds like the latter in your first post. But then you bring up the former as to try to validate a similar approach when they aren't similar at all?. The latter has that low probability of working. The first can't be pulled off without the proper team. BOS never tanked for top 5 draft picks. If you would have said the BOS method the first time I would be more on board with trying that.
Yes, I would love to be able to do that BOS approach. But once again it is a an entirely different plan. And even then what has it really produced? Nothing in the grand-scheme of things yet. People on here would just be bitching we can't get over the hump and lose every year in the WCF's. You can't satisfy fans without a title. It IS all or nothing with them. Only one team wins each year and usually the team that wins has won before in the last 5 years. We all will be lucky to get 1 more title before we die. Sad fact.
