100% correct all it takes is the right signings and hit on a couple draft picks just like you said. Then suddenly that team is a contender. The Panthers are not that far off, we are not that far off and if the Bucs score up a QB, just like us they are right back in it. Not too long ago the NFC west was in the dumps they bounced back. The NFC least turned into the NFC beast in a single season. They had 3 in the playoffs and the Redskins just missed. The North has been a mess and if Rodgers moves it will get worse but again the right FA move and a couple of good picks they can be right back in it.
