How's that franchise Washington working out, over the Snyder era?
 
That's hard to do. I do agree in some respect. If we don't sign a true #1 receiver and some playmakers on defense we will have the same **** team next year.
 
Since we might not have a CBA next season, do whatever to sign a #1 WR. Ross needs to open up the checkbook.
 
It pains me to say this, but I think New England has the best formula. They spend wisely on proven Pro Bowl caliber vets and draft very well. They make smart trades to bring in great players and unload players to stock pile picks. Being a true contender every year also helps them to get proven vets to play there for less.

The biggest free agent signings the Patriots have made in their run this decade were Roosevelt Colvin and Adalius Thomas. Colvin spent more time on the trainers table than on the field with the Patriots, and Thomas hasn't exactly set the league on fire since moving up the I-95 to Massachusetts. In fact, he was just a healthy deactivation by the Pats earlier this season.

New England's formula (and Pittsburgh/Indianapolis' for that matter) has been to draft smart, build depth, scout properly and keep a majority of the core in place while they still are at their peak.

I'd like to believe this is the groundwork being laid in Miami.. Let the Redskins and Raiders continue to spend en mass and win **** as a result.
 
Miami has added a lot of solid talent in the draft, wisely trying to build a solid core to base its hopeful future contenders on. But you still need those star caliber players to help put you over the top, and I think that Miami could absolutely bring in some high caliber players at positions like WR and improve drastically.

The thing that teams in the NFL absolutely cannot do is to base their teams solely off free agents. Even if you bring in 3 stars on defense, there are still 8 other guys that have to be good enough to not be exploited game after game. But when you have 10 solid guys on defense, and you add a high caliber playmaker or two, you've provided a real boost to your team. But T.O. should prove that, regardless of his personality, putting a superstar producer a bad team makes that player worse than it makes the team better. (Odd time to be saying this of course, seeing as he made the game sealing play today, but you have to take the whole season into perspective)
 
A great QB will make average receivers look good. Moss looked bad in Oakland, but in NE he was expected to play well in an atmosphere of winning. I think players going to teams like NE expect to win. Players going to teams like the Bills are just looking for a paycheck. The system has to make the players better.

Who cares what Washington did Miami has a team full of scrubs on offense and defense.

Washington has followed the formula you wish MIA to follow. And how has that panned out?

I'd take a young MIA team, with a solid foundation over a team that spends stupidly on FA's and throwing away draft picks to make a splash, only to see mediocre seasons go by.

MIA has a formula, year 2 of a 4 year project.
