Speaking of Herm, here's the coup de grāce as far as I'm concerned. Herm can't come close to this:

The team was smartly built, with one eye on the cap and the other on the field. They were good at figuring out how much better one player was than another, and seeing if the price matched the production. Jonathan Kraft is amazed at their ability to do that.

"Let's say there's a player who has a 100 rating, with really no upside beyond that. He's a solid 100, he'll be here a few years, he's making $4M. They can see another player who's a 75, making $500K, and has upside. They know they can put that kid in a system where the deficiencies between a 75 and 100 can be protected."

"They're never going to get into salary cap hell chasing that last elusive guy, or believing that one person makes your team. They are completely focused on team."
Sounds like there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth on the Planet as marquee FAs get passed by Pioli. I expect a few Hugh Douglas meltdowns until this franchise gets turned around.
