London Fletcher leaning towards playing in 2013 (updated)

[MTK]

We went 10-6 with a rookie QB and some key injuries, and a shaky D.

How do we go from that to being 3-4 years away?

I think he meant 3-4 years away from our 3rd or 4th superbowl appearance in a row.

But maybe I misinterpreted him.

How many other teams could have said the same thing, though? It takes a considerable amount of luck to win a super bowl. Don't get me wrong, I think well have a winning record consistently for those years, I just think it'll take us 3-4 years to get over the top...

Again, just my personal opinion.

I'm not even talking SB, I'll wait to see how the rest of the offseason goes and of course RG3's recovery.

But I do think we can be back in the playoffs and be just as competitive as last year.

I was never arguing whether we'd be competitive, my point was if fletcher is coming back because he thinks we're winning a superbowl next year, he should prepare for disappointment...

You asked a few post back who in their right mind thinks we can compete this year. It seemed like you you were saying we can't compete at all let alone for the SB.

I also don't agree that the front office has already tossed in the towel. Even with the cap penalty by bringing back our key free agents they're at least trying to keep the core of the team together, and we'll have a chance to improve with the draft as well. Not making a big splash in free agency isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Not at all. Look where it got us year after year after year with Vinny. Top 10 picks… …which we traded away for more washed up veterans.

Build through the draft. Supplement in FA with guys that are a good team fit, not superstars.
