Don't forget that one of those wins was making your lord and savior look pedestrian.
You keep saying the strategy fails, but it's pretty clear you don't even know what the strategy is, which is sad, because it's incredibly simple. It's making sure you have a competent backup who can actually play in this league in case your quarterback gets injured or opts to retire. Successful teams have been doing it for years. Not only the pats, but the Steelers, the Packers, etc. Why you find that offensive is beyond me and I honestly don't care. After I murdered your "build the team" nonsense, you've resorted to personal attacks and rantings like this nonsense post. You lost.
Now, note that I quite clearly indicated that I was referring to the Pats since Brady crossed the 30 mark, so I'm not sure why you're bringing up the rest of them, kiddo. I did that for very specific reasons. One, the Pats learned first hand what can happen if their starting QB goes down for an extended period of time. They also considered the fact that QBs are more injury-prone once they get into their 30's. They understand the importance of the position and, again, it has
nothing to do with the ability of Tom Brady, just as
investing in the position here has nothing to do with Tannehill's ability (which is why it's weird that you've gotten so pissy at the thought of investing in a good backup QB and why your "hater" comments make no sense whatsoever).
Mallet wasn't a fail because the invested very little in a low risk, high reward player who was expected to go in the 1st. He didn't work out and all it cost them was a drop from a 3rd round pick to a 6th round pick and didn't prevent them from team-building. Your argument fails.
Garoppolo wasn't a fail because they anticipated Tom Brady retiring and proactively sought his replacement (something I wish the Phins did before Marino retired). If you can say that four years ago, you anticipated Tom Brady would still be playing at 40 years old and at a high level, you'd be a liar. They traded the 62nd overall pick for the 43rd overall pick (which they parlayed into the 51st and a 4th rounder) and got 4 years with a top level backup QB and potential Brady replacement for it. Drafting him was absolutely a smart move and didn't prevent them from team-building. Your argument fails.
Brissett cost them a 3rd and proved to be a good backup. Hung 92 yards on us in limited playing time. He was clearly never meant to be anything more than a high end backup. When the opportunity presented itself to trade him for a WR with a lot of potential, they did it. He only cost them a 3rd rounder and didn't prevent them from team-building. Your argument fails.
Drafting a quality backup in the 3rd wouldn't have hurt your Precious and wouldn't have prevented us from team-building. Your argument fails.
This is particularly true when unlike Brady, our QB is coming of of back-to-back IR, one of which resulted in us paying an absurd amount to an old and broken Jay Cutler. But sure, who cares about backup QBs. :laugh
