Re: Good possiblitly we lose Givens and Branch
It's not all that complicated. Without Branch, the team is not as strong. But it certainly doesn't mean in any way that it wouldn't be possible to win a superbowl - and if you have followed other threads, the team as a whole seems to have some significant new strengths. It does seem awfully certain that this team has a better chance to win a superbowl than the 2001 team, doesn't it ? Not that it necessarily has for sure as much of a chance as, say, 2004.
So - completely agreed - while there doesn't seem to be any basis YET to be more optimistic than 2004, some folks seem to be disregarding the very real POSSIBILITY that the team could be as good as 2004. Really. It actually doesn't take much of a stretch. If Banta-Cain and Caldwell can play solidly and if Jackson shows solid talent and productivity by mid-season, doesn't that actually do it ? Sure seems like it might.
