I agreed with his premise of build through the draft, build a culture ,and manage cap. but at some point you need to move beyond that to really compete. I also dont want to see him go on a spending spree but he could have afforded to add some talent without killing the cap, one FA could make a huge difference.

The base, core has been set. There is a culture. Its time, past time, to try to move to the next level.

But the other problem is he got fucked when luck retired. His plan didn’t account for obtaining a franchise QB when he was hired. He tried to apply the same concepts towards replacing luck and has been dicking around with constant stopgaps ever since.

Part of me wonders if he is waiting for us to get that QB in place. He wants the financial freedom in case a Watson pops up. Which seems to happen a lot more often than it used to. Used to be franchise QBs never left. Now it seems to be the standard to leave for another team after the first contract.
