Went back and looked at the rankings. Your assertion is just flat out wrong.
Gruden's offenses while in Cincy ranked as follows in points per game stat:
2011 20th
2012 12th
2013 6th
He showed steady improvement every year he was there. I would love to have that kind of trend on either side of the ball.
Do you think if we heavily invested in the same positions he could duplicate his performance in Cincy?
I think so. Instead of blowing everything up it may be smart to do as you suggest and invest heavily in the same positions. We have the same number of draft picks and the same salary cap as Cincy had. (We do now anyways.)
