You should differentiate between PHILOSOPHY and IMPLEMENTATION. The implementation has been terrible. The philosophy itself may not be the problem.
And don't overlook that we did draft one very key position: QB. And the development of said QB is really what will define how far this offense can go. I'm not satisfied with the receivers, which still seem week outside of inconsistent Santana Moss, but the running attack could be in the league's top 5. As far as the defense, clearly being about last in 2006 leaves us below average but considering where they were the year before, all hope is not lost.
I don't agree with the "superbowl or bust" point of view. The truth is the superbowl winners are teams that are competitive at the top of the league every year. The last couple winners weren't even in their respective "best" year. But if you are going to make a list of goals, include sweeping the Cowboys.
