Default Great move on Stallworth but are we morphing into the Yankees?

Maybe that's what coach Bill was doing in the Yankees camp, i.e., trying to get some advice on how to handle it if you don't win every single game. Don't get me wrong, I like the move, but now the pressure is on, to win it all, just like it is on the Yankees every year. Get 'er done!

I really wouldn't have a problem competing for a championship every year. it's a level playing field - everyone has the same amount of cap to spend.

The pressure is always on to win it all. Especially after winning 3 of 4 Superbowls. If anything, they're acting like Dan Snyder's Redskins. The big difference though is that the moves the Patriots are making actually make some sense...

Patriots/NFL with salary cap. Baseball/Yankees/Rd Sox without salary cap. No comparison can be made.

We have been getting 2nd-tier FA's for so long, so now it's time we dip into the primary FA pool and use the cap room of which we have plenty. Whereas many teams are strapped for cap space and are having to restructure back-loaded contracts, we are paying high-quality FA's with generally non-backloaded contracts. The Pats have a team that is mostly complete, so with our cap space why not bring in some big-gun Pats-type players?!!? Yankees? No. Yankees aren't limited by a cap. They are only limited by what Georgie wants to spend!

The Yankees haven't gotten anywhere since 2000.

A-Rod's salary alone should put an end to comparisons
In another thread someone said "We are the Redskins with a brain". At least they're in the NFL.

This is no different than 2003 when got Colvin, Harrison, and Poole. THIS year, we get Thomas, Welker, & Stallworth. I hope none of THEM breaks their hips.
