You're talking about the 80s like we're still living in them. We just won back-to-back national titles with a core built through development AND strategic portal adds. That "shared suffering" you romanticize includes guys like Ladd McConkey who waited their turn and stars like Jalen Carter who came in ready to dominate. Our culture isn't fragile, it's the standard, and it assimilates talent. Kirby builds teams with both homegrown grit and calculated reinforcements. Those "hired mercenaries" you dsimiss are often guys who embrace our physical brand faster than some recruits. The foundation is stronger than ever, and the trophies prove it. Worry about your own team's heart, because ours is just fine.
