I agree. Exactly why this franchise has never won a SB. Murray can be the difference between being good and being great. I don’t believe Rosen has the potential to get us to that higher echelon.
This franchise hasn't missed on championships because we "haven't taken risks." We've taken stupid risks. We've made stupid choices. Especially in the modern era. Plus, we were 2:37 away from winning a Super Bowl just 10 years ago, and went 13-3 just four years ago. The times we ended up with these teams are
not because we made some hail mary stupid risk, but because of patience, smart roster building, and a little bit of luck.
Please feel free to show me Super Bowl winners in the past 20 years who got there because of one "shut your eyes and hope it works" risk.
Maybe the Patriots in 2001, starting Tom Brady over Bledsoe in that Super Bowl, but it's not like they'd traded up to grab Brady or something.
Remember when we "took a risk" and traded a second and a Pro Bowl CB for Kevin Kolb? Sure worked out.
