Then you lighten the roster easily by getting rid of a few like Jaylon and Zeke, but not until next year given their contracts.....if by any chance one of the top 2 tackles falls to us, you make the call and pick them (only offensive players I want in this draft), and you say a big thank you to Tyron Smith who has been injured the past few years......you give Quinn a chance to install his defense as I think a lot of our problems this year on defense was not just due to lack of talent, but due to bad scheme and coaching. you draft defense, defense defense. lets see where we are at the end of 2021 and then you make a run in 2022. by 2021, we can say good bye to Jaylon and Zeke. have better idea of where the defense is and you sign a key FA. I don't want any FAs signed this off season.
plus, those numbers are just numbers. we can manage the cap hit. Mahomes got a 10 year 500M contract, is his cap hit 50m this year? that would be 25% of their cap and next year 33% of their cap and they are in the superbowl and probably favorites next year again.
Stafford is not accurate as he throws a lot of interceptions and his completion percentage is not that impressive. I think Dalton is done, finnito, caput, should not be on our roster next year as he sucked, sucked sucked.
and you just said, Dak's recor against winning teams is abysmal, yet Stafford has a 25M cap number and his record is 7-52 against teams with a winning record....that include the three years his team made the playoffs in 10 years...
and now, he is injury prone. two years in a row, with back problems...
if stafford is your idea of getting better, I rather just tank it, cut everyone and rebuild from scratch like Jax.
