Where is this 'win now' mentality coming from?

I'm not sure if fans can visualize how much a couple of  BILLION is. 

1000  Million , is a billion

So do you really think the pocket change or dollar bills needed to pay these 3 , is a concern for  David Tepper.

The only time we should worry about his spending is in the discussion of Cap Space.  And after watching the Saints for years, let's face it, there are ways around everything to do anything..

It goes against the cap space...

Bingo.

If I handed you $1 every second of every day it would be the year 2053 before your pile hit $1 billion...

...and the year 2469 before your pile was as big as Tepper's.

Solving complex financial/mathematical problems is Tepper's core competency, he doesn't even need a spreadsheet to calculate something so simple as  "Cap Space"...

...he's constantly calculating a real-time running total in his head at all times.

Imagine what our defense would be if they could actually rest with our offense extending plays, or didn’t have to defend short fields from offensive turnovers. Our defense is very talented this year, especially with Gilmore back there and Shaq getting healthier.

We have the #2 ranked defense.  And we managed that while playing horrific offense.     Which is an amazing feat. 

what do you want to call our defense if not top 5? 

I wasn’t even talking playoffs.  I’m just saying you can’t really have CMC and a top 5 D and suck badly….and just get away with it.   If your QB play is that bad that it implodes that to a 5 win season….well, that is a front office imploding a season IMO.    Most teams in the NFL have 2 QBs better than Sam.    Front office has more than just egg on its face.

Weak bottom half of the NFC means you only need 8-9 wins to get the 7 seed. Our top 5 defense and an average offense is good enough to achieve that.

Once you are in the playoffs anything can happen.

Any of you want to change/adjust your "top 5" D given the last two games?? Elite Tua and Heinke no-lubed them while Scary Terry and Waddle waited their turns.... 3rd in line was what ever RB getting 8 yards a clip.... 

I'll stick with my "feelings"......may have change it form 12ish few spots later.....but I'll remain...for now.

    • Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.
    • i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.
    • I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
