No one said winning free agency automatically = winning on the field, or that it's better than winning (although I think you guys know better than that). Just that it's nice to see an owner who is proactive and trying to improve his team via free agency. Nicomo, you bring up Cleveland...well we are the polar opposite of that. There is a lot of space between "insert bad team that won free agency" and "barely bringing in good free agents, like ever".
As for the Reds, we'll just have to see how it pans out. They went through a rebuild process and splurged on free agents at the correct time to do so. For every Cleveland Browns you bring up, I can counter with a team that used free agency properly and it worked out. The timing has to be right though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
