They have a better team too. So you laugh at how much money someone else spent of their their own.
Goal is to win the superbowl as far as i know and i can look at things unbiased and know that Denver is closer to that goal.
But hey. Who cares about that. They spent too much money for our best defensive player is all.
People aren't pretending that Brady will be replaced easily. But you can't assume the current status of the roster will be exactly the status of the roster when Brady retires.
Three years from now, we may have a young stud RB. We may have the best OL in the league. Maybe Dobson becomes one of the best WRs in the league. Maybe our defense is lethal. I don't expect this to happen, just pointing out how things can change quickly in today's NFL. The Seahawks won the AFC West in 2010 with a 7-9 record. The division was garbage. In 2014, it would be a shock if there's a better one.
That's the point, it's not some blind stupidity that we think our next QB will be just as good as Tom Brady. It's the reality that in a few years the team might be in a position to not "need" a Tom Brady but still be a good team.
It's called the Lombardi Trophy, not the Bart Starr Trophy.
I'm not the first to remind people of this, Revis called Belichick a jerk, and we don't need some greedy ratbag Jet on this team.
Eh, Ty Law said some pretty nasty things about Belichick the summer of '04, but he wasn't released, so I don't think BB really cares about what someone may have once said.I'm not the first to remind people of this, Revis called Belichick a jerk, and we don't need some greedy ratbag Jet on this team.

Yet Tom is getting older. Year after year the plan is to build for some "future" while Tom is getting older. How many years does he have left? Why isn't the strategy to go all in before he is gone? WTF? It is sad and embarrassing.
Are they playing this Sunday? Why don't we see how the roster looks when it counts. Going all in is a terrible strategy, how often does that work out? usually you have a good team then fall off a cliff, I'll wait until after the draft and see what this team looks and I'm more than happy with the strategy they've used since 2000. Not sure why some of you guys are surprised, a lot of you do this every year..
I am astounded at the level of homerism and denial around here.
The problem seems to be more poor free agency choices and bad luck due to injury than it does not spending money.
As I pointed out, in 2010 they spent 151 million in cash (2nd out of 32 teams). Again, in 2012 they spent 160 million in cash (2nd out of 32 teams).
It isn't the refusal to address the weaknesses or anything about being cheap, it's poor talent evaluation and bad luck with injuries.
Hopefully, that changes with some upcoming decisions. I do agree with you that there were a couple of signings today that I'd have wanted to see. The Ward and Joseph signings come to mind for me.
Sorry, I don't see it that way.
In fact, I honestly feel the opposite.
The numbers of blind homers defending Belichick are far fewer than the "sheep callers" like to pretend.
Honestly, I think a huge portion of what you think of as "homers" are simply people responding to the worst of some very baiting rhetoric in the guise of pretending to be oh so "objective"..
Fine by me, I've always maintained that until he strings together a couple durable seasons he is not worth that money. Would've liked him back on an incentive based reasonable deal but if he's getting that kind of contract, I don't want it to be with us. Also hopefully this should fetch us a nice compensatory pick.
From our side, I'm more disappointed we didn't go harder after Verner seeing what he is getting from Tampa.
