That's what a lot of people seem to miss. Even in our darkest years (last year being perhaps the worst talent wise), we've had talent on the team. But the roster is so thin with talent and full of holes that we never get the most out of those guys. To win consistently and confidently, you need to have 22 quality players (+K and P), with another 22 as 1a guys who rotate in or can take a starting role if someone goes down.
The other 40 or so kids are your first and second years who aren't ready to take meaningful snaps but are high potential and still developing. Most should be getting significant minutes on STs as well as subbing in.
We shouldn't have more than 10 projects on roster at any time, and certainly shouldn't keep JAGs on roster once we see guys missing their development and performance targets.
^^^ this takes 3-4 years to set up. The portal can get us there more quickly if the right kids enter and we can grab them. But that's far from a guarantee. Regardless of whether it's 2 or 4 years, I personally believe Mario WILL get us there.
