all good points-
I think you need to start to get some consistency, and I think it starts with a general approach within the staff.
Yes, it took Cowher 15 years to win a bowl-in fact, it took until he got a franchise QB-but that team was always in the hunt, even with often crap QB's. I think if you have a good organizational foundation then you can be in the hunt every year.
I also, however, believe that you MUST have a franchise QB in order to close the deal. We don't have one (at least that we know of) and so we must get one. I think you play Stanzi assuming that you're not going to win these last 3 games, but you need to see if he's got 'it' or not. He'll make mistakes, but if he shows promise then you're in a good spot.
And I think you draft a QB early regardless.
