The model for success in the NFL is glaringly obvious. Teams that do well consistently build through the draft, and pretty much always focus on building the lines. Year in and year out the Eagles have shitty WRs, yet for a decade they go farther than we do. Andy Reid drafts on the line of scrimmage. Need or not, he stockpiles lineman. The Phins, Flacons, and Ravens do the same. So what the hell is wrong with Cerrato? How are can he repeatedly be so stupid? I understand if once or twice he tried to move picks for vets and screwed up, or once or twice he drafted nothing but skill positions and screwed up... But he does it EVERY DAMN YEAR!! Why? Why not buck his trend for once and follow the normal model of success in the league?? It's maddening and arrogant. We have a stupid front office, plain and simple.

Absolutely! And he'll look at a team like the Cardinals who just happened to catch lightning in a bottle and think he can do the same thing. They're not built for long term success like the Ravens, Giants, Eagles, Pats, Steelers, Titans, etc. I want a team that's a threat to win 10-12 wins every year and not a team that eeks into the playoffs at 9-7 hoping to get hot at the right time. Even so, watch how the Cards operate from here on. Wisenhunt will build like the Steelers. They'll beef up the lines and will live with Fitzgerald and let Boldin go. Can't have long term success when all your money is tied up in skill positions.
