Depth of Talent Advantage Can Never Be Taken For Granted!!
As anyone can see, there's clearly room for improvement at no less than 21 of our roster spots ~ to say nothing of our Practice Squad gigs, or possible Roster Expansion as part of the new CBA!! ~ and I think we can all agree that those randomly chosen "Top 32" aren't exactly etched in stone, either, ARE they??
My point ~ and I have no pretensions of persuading anyone of my views, but merely getting it on the record ~ is that Trading Down remains a VERY viable option, and it's one I'd like to see us pursue, to compound our advantage, provided we take care of what we need.
We Have a Rare + Extraordinary Opportunity Right Under Our Noses!!
The Mad Croatian has carefully forged an increasing advantage ~ exponentially increasing!! ~ on the rest of the league...Yet many would have us CASH IN that advantage, rather than increase it.
MIND you: I can understand that thinking: those of you who feel we should more or less go ALL IN with our Picks, and Trade Up for an Hall of Famer or three, are generally focused on General Tom's advancing years...And I certainly sympathize and respect that position.
But THAT, to me, is the equivalent of running down the hill...and @#$%&ing ONE cow.
...ONE Super Bowl CHAMPIONSHIP.
I say...
I say...Let's KEEP Trading Down...and Trading BACK.
ONE COW???
General Tom Brady has said he wants to play TEN more years ~ 9 to go ~ and if a degenerate slob like Brett Favre can play to the age of 42 ~ Tom's age 9 years from now ~ who's to say that a dedicated FANATIC like General Tom Brady CAN'T??
I say...Let's KEEP Trading Down...and Trading BACK.
I say...Let's WALK down that hill...and @#$& them ALL!!

Many of you think we have a chance to win one more Championship with Brady.
I respectfully disagree.
I believe we have a chance to win a BUCKET of Championships in the next few years.
