This Season May Actually Be A Blessing In Disguise

[GoobyPls]

Next year is gonna turn into this season after that and so on.  Never ending cycle of excuses for an incompetent smug GM.

No Superbowls are guaranteed. You'd be naive to think so. Would you rather have multiple shots at the superbowl, or just this one season, where there are so many good teams in the NFC, and the AFC with the Patriots being better than ever?'

Your argument is invalid.

*EDIT: Imagine we actually made all these moves, and made it to the Superbowl, and lose in high fashion yet again. What then? How will we possibly go back now, with all the contracts coming up? We've wasted the future in hopes for an opportunity this one present season.

All things you said for the future about DG extending this extending that probably has high chance of not happening also  with DG mentality of playing hard ball we could just end up being just being a team  with poo ton of money and no elite talent.  But good thing in life is that what matters is Reality and DG failed hard

So far I've seen two idiots that quoted that long ass post.  But being the very first response and quoting the whole post is one of the dumbest things you can do on here.  So nice work, rainmaker

We've technically been in rebuilding mode, last season was pretty much an unexpected surprise. Our DEs and Tackles were weak, but Gettleman has done the best he could to salvage what he could. Effectively I think we're contenders as soon as next season with where we're at. Dave is thinking long term, and I can see the reason behind it.

i hope so but hes going to need to spend alot instead of being so cheap , free agency is key but gettleman just ignored it this year

I hate the "next year" talk. Screw that noise. The fact is we are losing right here and now right after a Super Bowl 2 loss sesaon, there is something highly wrong with that picture. If anything this season should be teaching you nothing is guaranteed, you don't know who we are going to sign, release, draft next year or if it will have any positive impact whatsoever on winning football games. So what they could resign a bunch of our currents guys, so we can just lose more next year? alrighty. 

You do realize if we lose some of those so called "same guys" like Trai, KK, Kelvin, Star, etc, we'd have a whole lot new problems than if we wait one year, take care of those problems and others in one go. Every year there'd be another position of issue from your logic.

The real problem to me is that ron/gettleman overvalue some players on the team that do not deserve it.. players such as tolbert, CJ, remmers, boston, and dickson... those players are damaging the team with their poor play and the sad thing is there were FAs to be had out there that could have done better than them.. I just want them to cut loose the dead weight and stop being so fuging loyal.. it's not a family, it's a business.

Gettleman set us up for multiple superbowl appearances in the future, in exchange for sacrificing this season. If the opposite occurred, we'd be out of contention as soon as next season with these contracts coming up. Basically as soon as next season expect to be good for multiple seasons.

A well run team would never sacifice a season.

Window is closing?!? Cam, Luke, and KK retiring in the next couple of years?

most all GMs do think on future.  noting groundbreaking there.  no way you are going to convince anybody that gentleman saw 1 win going into the bye week though.  now the guy basically is gonna have to make some moves next year or risk getting shitcanned waiting on the supposed masterplan the OP speaks of to pan out.  

solid franchises are run by GMs who give their coaches the best mix of personnel to work with year in and year out.  gman didn't do anything close to that this offseason.  spinning it anyway other than an epic failure is just dressing up a pile of horse poo.

Great post Saca. Maybe it's the optimist in me but that's how I see it as well. 

Fans understandably get impatient but the long view is what's important in my eyes. We are taking our lumps this year but hopefully learning lessons. I believe we can make it to the big show again just going to take some patience to work our  way back up.

Well spending everything on just resigning the same losing personnel isn't going to do you favors either. It could be useful if we actually also get a quality OT, CB, and DE (or 2), and Saftey. But just resigning, relying on crapshoot draft picks isn't enough. Need to get  quality proven talent to help your roster
