I think we’re rolling with the same front 7 except for Star and I’m good with it. Next year we should have a bunch of cap to work with and I think that’s when our SB window officially opens. We are not a SB team just yet. Well said - be prepared for the backlash however. I too agree they are close but not quite there for a SB run......others on this board will strongly disagree with this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get 1 chance at having a rookie franchise QB contract. You have to go for it when you have the chance.

They have made clear their goal is sustained, consistent competitiveness. We're already down to $33M on next year's assumed cap. It was only a short time ago we were in the $50s. And not all the moves have hit Spotrac yet. That number will go down as they learn what the contract details will be on some of these moves. They're likely to make a few more moves. But don't expect them to kick every can they can find down the road. Beane hasn't showed an interest in being that kind of GM. And thank goodness for that.

Beane has spent a lot of money on a very ineffective DL. He also wasted $7 million in cap space on Trent Murphy. So yes he's done a lot of good but taking a good team to the next level is the hardest part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting from consistently mediocre team to excellent team with a real possibility of being good for ten or fifteen years is just as hard. And your first sentence is nonsense. This defense is good. Not great this last year, but once they got over the injuries and got used to working together as well as possible without Star, they were good. You don't become a good defense with a "very ineffective DL." You just don't. That's nonsense. Are they a great DL? No. Overpaid for their results? Yup. Not as good as they needed to be at getting to the passer? Agreed. Still pretty solid for a team that lost their space eater too late in the game to replace him well? Yeah, they were. I guess I'm curious, did you reply to the wrong person or something? How does your post address anything I said? I talked about the fact that Beane is fiscally responsible, that he kicks a few cans down the road but not a lot. And that it appears unlikely that he will run around grabbing the glittering expensive FA prizes, as he says he doesn't do than and he's shown consistently that's not just lip service by not going after the most expensive guys even when he had the most FA $ in the league. None of what you talked about addresses that. Some fans love bright shiny objects. Beane doesn't go that way.

Wouldn't you say the hardest part is getting to and winning a Super Bowl? That's the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process of getting to and winning a Super Bowl started four years ago when we hired McDermott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
