Sorry, for the sake of brevity I said garbage instead of being more detailed. Chip, like Josh, thought he was smarter than the rest of the league and that his system would trump raw talent. So he jettisoned superior talent for sub par talent that fit his specific mold. Now that he's gone the guys he brought in are lesser to average talent and don't fit the new system, making them depth at best are worthless at worst. That's what I meant for starting from scratch.

Plus side is if the new regime is competent they get almost a blank slate and a couple years of goodwill to rebuild into a contender again. Let's hope Wentz isn't the bust I think he'll be and that Roseman knows what he's doing. Fingers crossed.
