Furthermore, JAX didn't have a lot of free agent busts either - so their failures can't be blamed on poor free agent talent evaluation. It's just that excessive spending has put them in a box that will handcuff them for the next few years and severely limit their chances of getting better. And the point is that the Colts could end up the same way if they try to go for the easy fix and don't maintain financial discipline and stay true to their philosophy.

As for the Pats, well, I don't give them much credit for anything given their methods, so I won't accept them as an example of anything good or right...

So if they win the Superbowl, they still should not have done it?
