Admirable message, however, those chicken littles have been that way for a long time, and unfortunately you wont be able to convince them the sky is NOT falling until they see it for themselves. Until then we will just have to put up with the negativity.
Sadly, yes. They remind me of when my nephew was 6, & I took him to the circus with one of his friends. The friend had been given money & bought a couple of those expensive flashy toys they sell (that break about an hour after you get home). My nephew just went nuts, because his friend had a toy & he didn't. And really, that's exactly how the whiners are sounding today--"The Skins have FAs, why don't we?"
Who cares about the skins? Let 'em spend their money on overrated FAs. They have virtually no draft picks this year--with the Lloyd trade, now they're out a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd, correct? And you can guarantee that most of the guys they've signed in the past couple of days will be restructuring &/or gone within a couple of years.
If you read the sports columns over the years--they consistently say you DON'T BUILD A TEAM THRU FA!!! You fill in needs, but you BUILD thru drafts. That's what the Pats have done. The Iggles. The Steelers. The Seahawks. That's what the Boys are doing. We've picked up one FA & we will get others. Will they be "names?" Probably not. I'd rather have a player than a name. The fact that we've already signed one--on the first day of FA, & sound like they have another almost signed, seems to indicate they've pretty carefully targeted the players they want--so spare me the Wiley analogy. I have a hunch that, with Vinateri & some others, they're letting the price drop a bit. I haven't heard of Vinateri even interviewing with another team.
