Pretty sure that year between Herm/Fat Scott we did PULL in talent off the scrap heap. Wade Smith was already on the team and Fat Scott cut him before giving him a chance. Same with Jason Babin, Brian De La Puente, Connor Barth.
There were some starting caliber players at the end of the roster and Fat Scott never even bothered to evaluate them. That's the difference today, Dorsey will evaluate those guys and we are seeing the results on Sunday right in front of our eyes.
But yea we could have won with that rookie class and the starters we ended up cutting for nothing because our GM at the time had an ego the size of the solar system.
