Nah...I'm pretty pragmatic when it comes to how your crap organization builds it's team.
Moobs would have been a decent move for a single 1st round pick + taking on his new contract demands.
What you dont do is trade away your future...both financially and draft capital.
It's a SB or bust move...but with a mediocre roster and an entirely new coaching staff.
It's counter intuitive...everything would have to break right for them to just to make the post-season...including health. You've already lost your best WR...and your LB is out for a while. You guys cant afford to drop any games...it an extremely thin-line situation.
The staff is set up to fail as they wont have the resources to adequately build the roster depth how they want....essentially have to make it work with what they have for a few seasons.
Fans just see it as "We finally have a functioning QB...SB"
I see it as a marketing campaign band-aid ...and the media mouthpieces have been instructed to sell it.
In the end...none of this really matters. The NFL actively partnering and promoting sports gambling is one of the strangest developments since I starting watching...They used to be publicly adamant against all forms of betting. No other Sports league does it...because they cant. This is the beauty of legally being created as an "entertainment' entity.
What this means, going forward, is there will be an increased amount money (100's of millions) every week placed on games...which means increasingly bigger loss risks for Vegas.
Every post-season game last year not only covered the spread but the over/under...it's nearly impossible...like winning the lottery but Vegas always manages to do it.
You're going to see more and more bizarre games like the Jaguars beating the Titans...or the Cowboys being down 30-0 against Denver. This is why there is a sudden emphasis on illegal contact this year...it's a point-shaving technique masked as fair play.
Seriously...millions of dollars will hang in the balance of a piece of yellow cloth. They more money at stake...the more the certainly of corruption.
I could go on how this is a deliberate Globalist erosion strategy of the one institution that is intrinsically American...and has historical/territorial implications. They hate history/past culture and want to reshape it...but this topic is for a different section of the forum.
