Depends - who did we elect to NOT pay to make that happen?
Let's say we don't sign Taylor but instead go with Wylie and sign Hopkins. You really that confident that things would change significantly? Moreover, how do you actually do that? Taylor was signed as a possible LT, Smith then fell in our laps. If you commit to Wylie early in FA, you have no way of knowing if you're going to get Smith late like we did and Wylie was never any kind of LT option so you'd have STILL had to pursue a LT pretty aggressively somewhere.
A more clean analysis would be Omenihu - don't sign Charles, sign Hopkins. Now that's probably a stronger argument given that we didn't have Omenihu for a big chunk of the year and then he was fairly mediocre in the 2 losses. That said, no - we weren't winning that Denver game by adding Hopkins and subtracting Omenihu. Additionally, we won the Miami game off our defense and Omenihu was a big part of that. It's not hard to say that maybe we win the Lions and/or Eagles game but in the process give back the Dolphins game.
Nah - you're just talking out your ass again.
