I'm not sure what you're mad about.
Why aren't we signing more bargain bin free agents? Why aren't we trading for a RB who's now on the downside of his career and counts 16M against the cap AND probably wants a new deal? When we already have a bell cow back on the brink of being a superstar? AND is cheap?
"Win now" doesn't mean making bad trades and signings. I'm sure we will sign a couple more vets for the D-line, but you know, AFTER the draft when we know what players we still need to round out the roster.
Not mad - just didn't understand what they were doing - and for a few weeks here - quite honestly it has seemed rudderless - aside from the private plane QB search.
I didn't say 'win now' with bad signings and trades. I believe I've already gone firmly on the "don't do stupid things like the Adams deal" -
So, not 100% sure what you're talking about.
What I DO know, is that the revolving salary cap hole with rookie contracts, whether they are QB or other positions, creates revolving windows every several years to 'get irresponsible' with the cap, future mortgage some acquisitions, and win hardware. AKA the RAMS.
Yea, and we're 1 busted ankle away from having ZERO running back capability. And Henry was the best back in the league last year. So, again, not sure what you're really talking about there other than the vague "on the downside of his career". I'll take his last 2 or 3 years vs. pretty much anyone in the league - Lynch in his prime included.
Having said ALL of this. The Sherman postcast allusion to going back to the old defense and ditching last years horrible experiment explains ALOT of what HASN'T happened to me.
And, I get it. Personnel acquision is a combination of Draft, FA, UDFA. I get that it's a balance, and you pick up pieces from each both at different times, and for different needs.
Didn't say 'win now badly'. I said are we in it now? I don't 'believe' that we are, from the last several weeks of activity - and honestly - the draft is so spotty with what sticks and what doesn't - you're not gonna exclusively build there - in particular running a 3-4 defense.
I believe there are 1 or 2 more big things coming after the draft - and I hope they trade down.
