We had a guy who caused problems. Some for us, lots for the opponents. Somehow we prioritized the first part and acted as if the second didn't matter. After all, since I've been on this site, let's see, we had Larry Chester touted as a special player, same for Matt Roth, then Davone Bess, followed by Reshad Jones. You don't need Brandon Marshall types when those guys are dominating sigs.
When I was a kid we had a team full of rare ability. Now in the rare instances it shows up we prefer to nitpick the faults, like Reggie Bush and the jitterbugging skinny legs, or Vontae Davis and his grandmother. Frankly it's difficult not to sit back and marvel at the hilarity. I don't know how a great record is supposed to materialize when not only don't we have great players, but we don't even make the logical attempts to acquire them. Let's draft only once in the top 50 or 60 every year, always take guys who have never been terrific but are either jetting up the boards or we'll force them there all by ourselves, all simultaneous to a home neutral site dependably siphoning 3-5%.
I'll be the first to emphasize that all it takes is one special guy to cleanse and reverse all of the above. Problem is, Steve Ross isn't likely to identify him combined with actually signing him. Fifty percent is a good as a complete whiff, as we saw with Jim Harbaugh.

He'd handle it and be excited that he has a monster of a WR on our team; something he hasn't had since he entered the league.
