Or? Do none of that and wait.

I'm all for waiting.

Or take the whole thing out of context, and not understand that we all know Loomis and Payton know what they are doing! It is a simple question of how we, as fans, think it will go!

This seems to happen every year. The first week of free agency a lot of players are way way overpaid and we fans wonder WTF is going on? Why aren't we signing any of these big names?

The 2nd/3rd week of free-agency hits and we start signing mid-tier guys left and right for reasonable salaries to fill holes.

We almost always enter the draft without any huge holes to fill and can pick up BPA every round.

I've seen this show so many times its becoming boring, but its a recipe for continued success and keeps our window open indefinitely.

OK, I re-read your post.

You are calling the first five hrs of a several months long process a disaster and then talking about context?

These first few hours are basically a vacuum. It has no context because the sample is too small. Context comes with time, distance and reflection.

Deep breaths

I don't think RMS was specifically targeting your post as much as he's targeting the massive amount of OMG WTF we see and hear everywhere every season.

Your title nails it... BE PATIENT!

There was no hard feelings! I was just making sure you knew I was not trying to hang myself with Matt Ryan's playoff socks. I am new to this site, but have been an unwavering fan since a fetus. I look forward to chatting with you guys throughout the season(all year long).
