I don't think the team was ever in shambles, I just think we had an overachieving offense with very little actual talent, and an underachieving defense with a plethora of talent it couldn't use/didn't understand.

With that said, our solutions on offense throughout this offseason have appeared to be some combination of the formula (Mike Shanahan's hubris + the 4th overall pick) = wins!! No research I've ever done suggests that is going to work, but both Shanahan's seem quite convinced that it will. Of course, I would expect nothing less.
