I don't think I'd go THAT far...

But, I do think a winning season (9-10 wins) is possible next year, assuming the team makes good changes this offseason. Like drafting a stud OT in the first round, and a center later on. Like re-signing T.J. and Cedric Benson. And like deciding that it's time for Bratkowski to move on.

Still, more important than anything else is getting a healthy Palmer back. Without him, this team won't beat anybody of consequence.

Honestly, I would go that far just because, in '05, we had the number four offense in the league and our defense was ranked low 20s in points but high 20s in ypg, and we could have played with just about anyone, so give us a top 12 D in that year and see how many teams can beat us.
