[QUOTE="Southpaw13, post: 457285, member: 1223"] Beyond a million other factors that could be discussed, here's one that is not discussed here often. 4 and 5 star athletes all believe they are going to make it to the NFL, even if the statistic don't really bare that out. But... to recruit 4 and 5 star athletes, you have to start with having a system that they perceive will help them get there. We do not have that system on offense. It may be effective most of the time, but it's not effective at drawing in NFL level talent. When was the last time we had a 1st rounder, 2010? Morgan and Thomas were both 1st rounders, and both recruited for a different system. We've had one other since 1998, and that was Calvin Johnson. So... we've had three first round picks in 20 years, and none since 2010 with no hope of that changing. We've had one offensive player taken in the first three rounds since Bay Bay in 2010. You can say X's and O's matter, and they do, but Johnny's and Joe's win football games at the end of the day. We're not running a system that will bring in the higher end Johnny's and Joe's. I understand there are other factors in play, such as kids don't want to go to class, we're not a 'cool' brand, we don't have the money of other programs, etc... but this one is a reality that is getting more real for me with every blown 4th quarter lead we have.
