You excuse the troubles that Steelers and Pats are going through by using how close to the Cap they are. Like it’s Ok to be the Pats losing but not the Saints because the Pats have more cap room? That’s nonsense and that’s not how football works.

I am not complaining that we might have to rebuild. I am complaining that we do have to rebuild and are not doing it. Instead we are doing everything to win now for a lost cause, trading future picks, restructuring contracts to sign aging vets, maxing out next years cap now, destroying 2023 and 2024 and further, with denial. 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.
