Quote:Well, blindly firing away seems to be a pretty good analogy when it comes to your thought process.

 

There's nothing to indicate that the team would be guaranteed to be so much better that the wins would just be piling up if only they'd topped the Giants offer.  History is chalked full of free agent signings for ridiculous money that didn't pan out.  Far more busts than booms actually.  But hey, you value winning.  I value building the team the right way and assuring that once the winning starts, it doesn't evaporate a minute later because the team is in salary cap trouble.  I lived through the end of the Coughlin era.  Clearly you didn't.
