Sporadically making the playoffs would be a milestone for our organization, and as a fan, I HOPE for the playoffs every year. If we made them 2-3 times/ decade I'd be a happy fan. If I recall, baltimore was pretty close to the max in cap spending, the patriots were pretty close, Indy is close to the max every year. These are competitive teams every year. I'm not arguing in any which way that the draft is not important, but we never spend anywhere close to the cap. It shows up on the field every year. Our starting teams are decent, but we have zero depth. If schobel goes out, who steps in, and look at the results (2008). Josh reed goes out, all of a sudden trent edwards looks like he cant play. crowell gets hurt etc etc... Other teams get injured players and have people who can step in and not miss a beat. You mean to tell me that if we added TJ Whosyourmomma, Bart Scott, resign greer, and sign Jason brown (we could afford to do all of them under the cap), that we would not be a more competitive team and have more W's at the end of the year? At least we wouldn't go 0-6 in the division.
