I am not mad we are losing and therefore wanting to lose more. I realize we are losing and therefore think it is futile to focus on winning now. Meanwhile the homer crowd is saying make it happen Loomis and wanting to max the 2024 cap and trade more draft picks, maybe give up every pick in 2024-2025 to get back into the late 1st in 2023 and restructure Andrus Peat with a 10 year extension to free up cash to sign OBJ. Thats how we get to 0-17 by 2025.
You have to realize the cap means something. Money is money. Draft picks mean something to. You can’t draft a franchise qb without a pick in the round they are drafted. Other teams are losing too. The falcons, pats, steelers. But they all have more cap space and picks than us for similar wins. We sold the farm and we didnt come home with the cow. |

Last year with injuries and COVID the team played severally undermanned but at one point were winning with Winston. This year has been similar with injuries and the team could easily have 2 more wins with a little fair treatment from the refs. That is a fact.
The future money is mostly Tied into Ram, Latt, Kamara, (I'm happy with them on the team for the next few years) Thomas, and Peat (When healthy they are good players. We have to accept their contracts and hope they can get on the field). We have a young stud WR. We have young stud LB. Taylor and Adebo look like players. We Probably have a stud tackle. If things go as bad as you think, we will have pick 33-40. Likely a promising QB will be available in the 25-35 range. We will see what happens. |
