But moving in the wrong strategic direction is acceptable... because it gets you a few garbage 6-10 seasons. Or better yet, making 1 playoff appearance but leaving behind the oldest roster in football with a gigantic multi-year cap mess... that's not wrecking the franchise? So it's okay to leave behind a 3 year mess, but god forbid we be a year or 2 behind in our development.
If you're a new GM, which situation would you want. The $20M over the cap talented veteran roster with all 30+ year old veterans and no young guys, or the $50M under the cap roster with no talent. That's about as easy of a question as you're gonna get. A few years ago, Gus Bradley was scapegoated for building a roster the same way. They called him a 3-win coach - he knew he could spend on players to immediately build his credibility, but he patiently stuck it out. Don't think there's a damn person that looks at Jacksonville's team right now and hates what that team turned into.

Look man. If you think the best anyone can do with Vermiels roster is 5-11, despite teams in the NFL constantly dumping payroll and churning age off the roster without being a complete and utter ****ing joke, then that’s just you being ****ing obtuse and refusing to stop white knighting Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards who wrecked the ****ing franchise.
/run-on sentence.
