Dude...
You bought into the lies.
This team is devoid of talent.
Pioli's drafts have been total shit.
His best drafted player, in terms of actual, on-the-field production has been a seventh round kicker. His free agent acquisitions have been atrocious. (I do like Hillis, Boss and Winston, but Cassel broke both Boss and Hillis and it's horrible blocking for Cassel. The announcers stated as much quoting Winston about Cassel's huge drop backs.)
Special teams suck other than Brown. Our return game is horrible.
Our featured offensive player is a 5'6", 175 lb. slot guy.
Our best defensive player is (on a team starting six first round draft picks on that side of the ball) Flowers, who is a Herm/Peterson second round pick holdover.
What talent?
Yes, coaching brings talent out and maximizes it, but you watch these guys...it's hard to pick out any standouts right now. Perhaps they've just resigned themselves to their current fate, but I'll give you some examples:
Jared Allen last year with the Vikings.
TJ Ward with the Browns this season.
London Fletcher for his career.
Certain guys will continue to bust ass.
I'm not seeing much of that right now from anyone other than...yeah, it pains me to say it, but Cassel. At least he's trying. But he's got minimal starter talent for this level. Great guy for a backup/#2 QB, and he's trying out there, but he's not a starter in this league.
