All these guys they consider “cornerstones” they couldn’t win with while they were on rookie deals and the surrounding cast was much better.Exactly, and it's how it will go from now on I think. I think, at some point, Jerry's going to get but by a player we need that won't play the game and will go elsewhere.
Don’t get me wrong, they are solid players, but how are you supposed to win in that case? Jerry thinks paying players more makes them play better…or that they “ought to” although if anything the opposite is true.
Takes forever to build through the draft only, and even if you don’t blow high picks (which they have done plenty of), you can’t collect enough talent within the small open window before these guys need to be paid, and some can’t be kept.
Jeez guys like Bland and Smith are already up and it feels like they just got here. Not using free agency kills them and prevents them from ever getting over the top.
You seriously need perfect drafts….meaning you’re the best in league history at it…for their plan to work.
I really believe that rock bottom is the only possible fix. The good news is they are well on their way.
