But tell me, you have been pleasantly, um, un-pessimistic recently. Why the sudden doom and gloom again all the sudden?

Apparently dead cap prevented us from having the kind of CB depth that could survive losing our top 5 CB's. Because, you know, teams without a lot of dead cap have 8 or 9 starting caliber CB's.

I think the OP is overrating the dead money problem. The dead money isn't a problem, it's just a potential symptom of the real problem - losing too often. Yes, we would be better served at getting our dead cap totals down in the future, but in reality is a small part of a bigger equation.

Is there anything left to the horse to beat on?

Well the horse would be dead if it had stopped last year. Since we are num 1 again, let's bring her back on out for another ride

And it is keeping us from doing what?

Can't you understand that people around here are getting tired of your incessant droning over the same subject over and over and over again? What are you trying to accomplish? Are the next 200 times you bring it up going to be anymore meaningful than the last 200 times?
