"I thought the expectations here got out of control,'' Spanos told me the other day. "We did not have good drafts in '07, '08 and '09, and so we've been set back a little by that. I thought we had a good nucleus with a great quarterback who Norv has done a great job with. But I didn't think we had a great team. Should I blow it up, get rid of the coaches and the general manager, with no guarantee on anything coming in here? I thought that would have been a mistake, and I thought they deserved another chance. This is all a guess. It's a big bet. But I think I'll be right.''

Quite a bit of honesty there from Spanos.

If Spanos admits to the team not having 3 good consecutive drafts, how can he feel that AJ should remain especially since AJ’s philosophy is to draft well and sign back our own players instead of spending in free agency? With that philosophy, it is unfathomable to have 3 admittedly poor drafts.

Perhaps because he's happy with the last two and the ones prior to those three poor drafts?
