You could have said thst 10 years ago. Not so much anymore. The average fan can see he is not going toget them to the promised land


Tomlinships are the definition of some’s “Promised Land”.

Thing with Shades is that his floor is pretty high but his ceiling isn't much higher.
He's going to get 8 or 9 wins every year at worst. At best he's going to get 10 or 11 wins and a wildcard playoff loss.
i.e. mediocrity.
 
This is probably a lousy analogy, but maybe not. Pretend that you're the owner of a NASCAR entry, and every race your driver finishes 12th at best.
While he may be consistent, he's only bringing in 10% of that top prize money. Sooner or later that owner will say, Ricky Bobby, we're going to go in
different direction.

Tomlin built his team for regular season success(8 and 9 wins per). Not so much in the post-season area though. It is what it is. Rooney has bought into it also sadly.

And with the Browns, Bengals, and Lamar in his division, that's pretty much 4 guaranteed wins right there.

Rooney is “peaking” at the money in for this franchise. He is satisfied making ahead of the means available.

The NFL has peaked in the USA as for revenue / future revenue. Thus the push for foreign games (screw the fans)

The crack has just started, another season of this BIG change that Tomlin claims to be needed………… AND YET
Not much change has happened.

Fans will be frustrated even sooner, 1/2 way into the season you may be hearing the chants. If he doesn’t win a playoff game this season……… all hell FANdom will break out.

Slow down there DIC.....let's not get ahead of ourselves. Talking about...PLAYOFFS and all. Let us first worry about getting a Tomlinship. Afterwards we can talk about winning a playoff game. :LOL:

One has to be able to dream, in this case my dream was the failure and replacement of the “Tomlin”.

My reality is 20-0 until proven otherwise. There is a long ways to go to this type of fruition, but one can dream.
