So Norv singlehandedly skyrocketed them up four spots to 26th. That and spending a lot of money on free agents and the sixth pick of the draft on Vernon Davis. And playing in the conference with the worst collection of defenses in the NFL.
What's most unfair is how people point to his failures at Oakland. Folks, that's unfair. Oakland hasn't won anything .. other than going to a Superbowl two years before Norv took over and a tuck rule away from going to a second one .. .but other than that, you can't win there. Look at what he was dealing with there. A bunch of fans who still dwell in the "glory days". A meddling owner/GM who forced staff on him. An egotistical, primadonna WR who is given free reign over the organization. You can't win in that type of environment. Totally different from what he would have in Dallas.
Do I detect a bit of sarcasm
