Of course this is all just more off-season bs/hype but I find this to be a HUGE compliment (a second tier team is a playoff-locked team which is barely 2-3 players away from being a legit Superbowl contender).
And it's not just because some talking head said so, just look at our roster/talent! -We've come so far that guys like Mark Roman, Dre' Bly, and Arnaz Battle aren't even good enough to hold #3 spots on our roster anymore!
Who knows where we're going, but one thing is for sure, unlike other off-seasons, we have less questions at each individual position/depth spot (right now) than we've ever had in a long time. -The gap is narrowing.

Well, we should have beaten 2 of the Tier ones -- Minn and Indy
We almost came back against GB.
I'd much rather fly under the radar.
But, the media always needs a darling and the media is realizing that Alex aint Jamarcus, Couch, or Leaf. He's a #1 that has faced adversity and has emerged from it.
If we start off like 5-0 and Alex plays well, this will be the feel good story.
I just want to win.
On that front, Sing reads this stuff too and will make this TC one of the hardest ever.
We've already had OTAs when other teams don't. Sing will knock the snot out of these kids to keep their egos in check.
That's EXACTLY what Walsh would have done

We are getting a little hype from the media... this seems very reminiscent of the last few years. Lets live up to it finally

Until we prove we're a top tier team, we are not.
