I agree we don't need to go the Philly Eagles route , but people wake up we have not won the super bowl since 2004.If we get jags again we will be very competitive but fall in the play-offs like we have been doing lately. Since the team refuses to draft pass rushers early , and has an abominable record drafting wide receivers a single piece like Mario Williams or Wallace could be difference we are lacking.

Jeez, the Patriots were in the Superbowl this season and the no.1 seed in the AFC for the playoffs, no.1 seed the previous season too. There is another Superbowl coming if they keep playing to that level.

No, Superbowls are won with good players and coaching. Good players tend to get payed eventually. Just because Brady, Vince and Mankins never actually made it to the FA market it doesn't mean they weren't "flashy, big money" signings. They became among the highest paid players at their positions.

**HOMER ALERT**

You can tell me that, but I'll stick with my belief that if this team adds Mario Williams, we'll be doing big things in the S.B for the next couple years.

I am not sold on getting Williams or any other big name free agent, but I don't buy that getting a marquee free agent can't be the missing component of a Super Bowl run.

The article is just flawed especially when some of the best examples of flashy free agents weren't free agents at all and were back up QBs who got some playing time because the guy they played behind were injured and the teams that traded for them gambled on what they showed in short spurts as a starter would translate to what they were as full time starters and franchise QBs. The gamble in both cases didn't pay off although it paid off far more for the Chiefs.

I mentioned in another thread, if you take the time to go back and study the last 10 offseasons, I would highly expect the 12 playoff teams from the previous year to have less cap space on average than the teams sitting at home in January. Those playoff teams would probably have free agents that need re-signing. (it stands to reason that a playoff team would have more talent, therefore costing more money before free agency even begins)

How often is it that a top-level team has the cap space to keep their key players PLUS sign someone like Mario Williams or Vincent Jackson?

I'm not suggesting that we MUST bring in an elite player, but the Super Bowl/free agent history isn't black and white.
