Now everyone thinks he's a top 3 football coach and that was never the case...

If Denver signs Bill Belichick, then color me worried...but the mere presence of Cowher with their current roster doesn't really scare me.

The only thing I don't like about these comments is everyone makes them, but they're really full of crap. Anytime anybody finds a good QB or really good player, they "lucked" into them. Except for guys like Belichick.

And Belichick is the one who "lucked" into the greatest 6th round pick in NFL history. Shanahan probably "lucked" one of the greatest 6th round running backs in NFL history. But apparently Cowher was held hostage at gunpoint and "lucked" into the 11th pick in the draft. Yeah right. I personally don't think I'd rank Cowher ahead of Belichick or maybe even Shanahan, but this "lucked out" garbage to defend your opinion is a bunch of crap. Especially when you're talking about a top 15 draft selection. There aren't too many teams that win a Super Bowl that don't catch a lucky break here and there.
