Is cash flow a factor when deciding to retain a head coach for 16 years with a playoff win. Is it a factor when deciding to value comp picks over (at the very least) decent mid-tier free agents who don't require huge signing bonuses? Is it a factor when they hang on to underperforming players too long instead of cutting them and using the cap savings to improve the team?
All I'm trying to say is that whether you're the richest or poorest owner in the league, it ultimately comes down to the decisions you make and how you spend the money you have. This is where I think Mike continues to fail time after time. Even if he had Bill Gates type money, would he actually spend it wisely and effectively?
