I think that Pioli should be commended for separating the wheat from the chaff of the old regime, but almost all of the impact talent was already in place.
You could make a case for Flowers, DJ, Bowe, Hali, and Charles all making the pro bowl this year.
Top that off with Albert, Waters, and Carr as solid starters and Cox, Richardson, Studebaker, Williams, and even McGraw as rotational players, and the cupboard wasn't nearly as bare as many thought.

I don't care how many times people discredit it. Coming from a business background, it's extremely important.
The commitment to the "right 53" while criticized on this board has created a culture of discipline, commitment, and accountability. I look at the leaders on the Miami Heat. One guy blasts the coach because they don't let Lebron have fun. Another says the coach doesn't let them just chill. The leadership on the team is phenomenal. The players work their asses off and it shows on the field. They are overachievers--they have some talent, but they play beyond their talent.
That's important because one day, our talent is going to catch up. If we have talent AND overachieve, then look out.
