How many years can you keep kicking the can down the road? Many feel like these last few years were missed opportunities. Seasons that warranted going all in.
Now we're down Hue Jackson, Vance Joseph, J Hayes, Marvin Jones, Muhamed Sanu, Andre Smith, Reggie Nelson, Leon Hall, Wallace Gillberry, Sims, Brandon Johnson... This team is drastically changing before are very eyes. Names like Whitworth and Pacman, even with their deals, are down to 2-3 years left. AJ Green and Andy Dalton are now about at the halfway point in their careers. Mauluga is getting old. The list goes on and on.
Is any time better than now to try to win. And just to be clear, we're not talking about a 50 million dollar deal. Are you really saying that we can't afford to spend an extra 3-5 mil, and sacrifice a late 3rd round pick, to improve this roster?
Concerning yourself with hoarding compensatory picks is EXACTLY what plagues this team. While they hold value and the strategy is sound at times, you cannot be so stubborn and stuck in your ways, that leaves constantly afraid to make a move.
What does it say about this team when you look at recent Superbowl winners and their roster changes (Bennett, Avril, Revis, Talib, Manning, Demarus Ware, ect) and then you look at this team, afraid to sign someone for 5 mil, because they'll lose a compensatory pick?
Give me a freaking break...
Everyone wants to win now.
Plus your logic fails. You can't claim that the Bronco's winning the Superbowl proves their method is infallible when so many teams who did exactly like the Broncos had losing records.
You have to get the idea out of your head that ever free agent helps you win. That just is not true. Until you understand that not every free agent works out you will not understand how this all works.
You remind me of a person who takes all of his money to Vegas to gamble and then making fun of his friends who "Don't want to get rich NOW". Then as you lose all your money all you do is point to the picture of the guy on the casino wall who won a million dollars and continue to call all your friends stupid because that guy proved gambling is the perfect plan to get rich NOW.
Everyone here wants to win. We just disagree on what nis the best way to do it. The Broncos winning the Super Bowl proves nothing becaus eplenty of teams that spend heavily on free agents don't win anything.
