Add any new firings or anything I missed and I’ll add them.
I never claimed anything about being non compliant with the cap. I said money you waste now is money you can’t spend later.
The fact that you think the Pro Bowl means something is as damning as thinking cash spending means anything. You’re not qualified to have the most casual discussion about football. You don’t even have a surface level understanding of the basics of how the league works.
Okay, thanks for not making a meaningful point and just deciding to insult me. Turns out my POV is what the organization cares about, rather than accepting a mediocre team like you think we should.
You didn’t make a meaningful point a single time at any point. You parroted radio idiots whose literal entire job is to prove how stupid they are to create drama.
The combination of “cash spending” and referencing the Pro Bowl, in and of itself, is proof that it is not possible to have even a surface level conversation about the sport. It’s like debating science with a flat earther. It can’t be done and it’s a waste of everyone’s time. There’s no possibility of intelligence underneath.
They pulled the trigger to hire Mayo, because he’s special, not fire Bill.
All I said was that we needed to be more aggressive and get some sort of good player to anchor a team around and you made up the rest, insinuating that we were strapped for cash or that a 2-year deal would somehow annihilate the far future. You’re out of your mind to somehow forgive the dogshit team building that has happened. Best of luck to you though since you wanna keep feeling really smart but making up shit.
We have several very good players. Spending meaningful future money this year is full on deranged dumpster fire horseshit that cannot be a valid approach for a team mid-rebuild.
“No pro bowlers” as an argument automatically disqualifies the possibility that you’re capable of discussion. So does “cash spending”. Each, individually, proves beyond the possibility of doubt that you have no idea how anything works. Together they’re even worse.
You really don’t know how to read. Just quit if you really need to mischaracterize everything and can’t see the value of having any good players.
The pro bowl is not a way to evaluate if a team has good players.
Spending future money to have good players now is literally unconditionally not a legitimate approach to rebuilding.
It’s not perfect but when’s the last time a successful team in the postseason had ZERO pro bowl nominees. It’s just another indicator that this lineup has fallen into disrepair (and that’s not ‘cause of their historically frugal spending…)
I’ve literally never disagreed with you that wasteful spending is dumb but not every player is getting a 10-year Mahomes contract. You’re more likely to see a 2-3 year contract for a wideout that works perfectly with the ample cap during that window.
And to say pursuing a short-term veteran is never a solution to performance struggles is actually hilarious since it’s historically worked for a number of teams to get into the postseason and even win the Super Bowl.
