I'm fine with their philosophy here. Sign backups in VFA and draft for starters. Raise the floor in FA. Raise the ceiling in the draft.
I'd like to see better risk assessment and a change to the Orwellian circus environment they've created.
Their philosophy has won what?
Solely drafting for starters is a flawed plan because it is nearly impossible to build a quality starting roster just through draft picks. The best teams use FA wisely. They use it to plug a starting hole here or there.
We do not. We overvalue our drafting prowess, overvalue our own players when it comes time to sign them and then go cheap in FA. And then every season comes and we wonder why the roster has holes that can't be overcome. 3 playoff wins in 25 years is a big red neon flashing sign telling you whatever Jerry and Stephen concoct isn't working.
