I am hopeful that we can get a good postseason run this year, but I don’t see a SB win yet.

Also, consider what it would say to the locker room if he traded away picks to replace a guy. Yes, it would give credence to the mantra that they have to earn it, but it also tells a young guy that they don’t see him as a piece going forward. That could have a ripple effect on others.

Maybe they will be better next year, maybe they won’t. But we all thought they would be a lot better this year and then Luck retires. Just can’t take these chances for granted anymore. Don’t know what next year will hold.
