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.

The deodorant of winning makes a PR claim a lot easier to swallow. The right 53 has little to do with better coaching and the development of young, talented players.
