ORIGINAL: David Levine I'll give you this. If the Bears go on to win three SBs with a strong influence from the Carolina trade, I'll jump to your side of the argument. I've no idea if they will win three SB's...nobody does. But, they've done an excellent job of putting themselves in position to substantially improve. They already have Fields, they have Carolina's No. 1 pick, their own first round pick and more cap space than almost every team in the league. I've no idea if the Vikings will win three SB's nobody does. But, they've done a very poor job of putting themselves in position to substantially improve. They have no QB on the roster for next year, they will pick in the teens and will need to be lucky to have a QB drop to them (i.e., no plan) and they have less cap space than almost every team in the league. As of today, Poles > Kwesi. Devils advocate... which team has blown things up and reaped a superbowl in the aftermath? Seems like recent superbowl winners have done it by being continuously competitive and hitting on putting the right pieces together AND getting some luck. (starting with a stud QB) Vikes have never gotten the luck part... for sure... ever. New Orleans playoffs late TD....LUCK Randy Moss dropping to 21....LUCK Sometimes you make a good argument. Sometimes you throw a shallow, transparent, pathetically agenda-driven, plastic chewbone out there. All plays are lucky if that play was lucky. TOTAL LUCK. Chuck it up there with 10 seconds left. Two defenders run themselves out of the play. Walk into the end zone. It was one of the luckiest set of events I've ever seen in professional sports. The safety from New Orleans will be having nightmares about that play the rest of his life. Now, they may have won the game regardless of whether he scored or not. They were down one point and just needed a field goal. But the idea of getting a touchdown from 60 yards out on the final play has a lot of luck and brain-deadedness involved.
