I give facts, you're whining like a child, because they don't do it like you want.

Your reasoning really lacks nuance or substance, speaks to your immaturity and lack of overall knowledge.

Hence the comparison to a child.

Postseason records are the best indicator of success.

Using assets to IMPROVE team year over year (YOY) rather than spending to remain status quo is what championship teams do.

Just spending money does not equal improvement.

Adding MORE proven and productive talent than previous season equals improvement.

Lol the goal post has moved to the basketball court now....lol
Proven talent can be your own , proven talent can be Anthony Barr. You don't need big name or big money free agents

NFL fans love free agency. You can hear it on sports talk radio all the time. Whenever a big-name player becomes available, fans imagine how they would fit with their favorite teams. They applaud the aggressiveness of major signings, and feel as though they are adding Pro Bowl players who will take their team closer to the Super Bowl.

But as exciting as things may be right now for fans of big spenders such as the Bills, Lions, Packers, Jets and Raiders, there often is a big price to becoming the "winners" of NFL free agency. And it's rare that the cost actually pays off.

Lol...now it's incompetent, the Eagles did the same thing. The Ravens don't spend big in free agency either. Are they incompetent?

Between the Patriots, Eagles and Ravens - which team has been most successful?

Obviously the team of any decade, NE Patriots.

And you do realize Eagles won their ONLY SB because of KEY contributions of big name FA/trade acquisitions like Nick Foles, Chris Long, Jay Ayaji, LeGarrett Blount, Darren Sproles, Alshon Jeffrey, Stefan Wisniewski, Brandon Brooks?

And both of Ravens starting WR (Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith) + starting OL Matt Burk and Bryant McKinnie on 2012 SB winning team were FA acquisitions.

Even Giants won SB46 with mostly homegrown talent (exception was starter Chris Canty) but won SB42 by adding impactful FA like Plaxico, Sam Madison, Steve Smith, Antonio Pierce, etc.

Adding key big name players (via FA or trade) improves teams, especially the contenders.

Again, for 1000th time, now let's go back and point out all the times teams have won nothing adding free agents and it heavily outweigh the few times it work. Hence me saying it doesn't always mean success as you insinuated throughout this thread

Who is asserting that this path ALWAYS MEANS SUCCESS?

Those are your words to move goal posts and distract from actual point.

Adding critical big name players (via FA or trade) will improve contending teams and provide MORE opportunity to succeed in postseason.

You miss every shot you don't take.

The repititions of the 'other' is more of a ring tapping lover with ego replacement needs. Not being in a discussion by sticking to a non-win-it-all bias covering all stereotype issuesl.

You attempted to fully carry what should have instead been a discussion of facts...not just a steady bias. That is logic and why one should post on site as you have done.

You said specifically that because the Cowboys don't spend in free agency, they don't win, you equated it to post season records, did you not?

Now, as the discussion was attempted, further pin-point now, how Dallas has not been doing that effectively in the past 5 seasons and without just choosing abstracts that don't reasonable turn what already was provided as being reasonable and wrong.

I agree with most of what he has stated from the start of his point.

Stay on ignore, and continue to contribute lack of discussive value. See a recruiter...

You added "always" to distract from the point.

Stupid and weak to couch arguments as "always" or "never" in sports.

That is what you said, there's no distract. Your whole argument was based on Free agents equating to playoff success

   Double digit wins isn't losing. Losing is what the Rams did Thursday night.

   Postseason record says otherwise.
   
   Choosing to NOT spend money to take a team to another level is epitome of loser mentality.
   
   Stephen Jones miserliness and inept management has been on display for DECADES.

Of course Cowboys spend in FA - Stephen loves the bargain bin.

We are talking about adding critical big name acquisitions (FA or trade) to fill or upgrade key positions of need like Jerry used to routinely do (and most contending teams STILL do).

NOTHING guarantees postseason success but adding more talent YOY makes success more likely than not (instead of replacing similar talent or remaining status quo).

This is not rocket science.

So you figured out how to cut and paste my post.

What exactly is your point?
