And then Ballard comes in and says "we're gonna build the team from within with the draft, create a culture here, be selective in signing free agents who can be a part of that" and every says "fuck yea, that's the right way" and then all of a sudden every drops that and whines about "why won't he go all in on some of these big names??"

i think a few things here that leads to inconsistency with fans bitching.
1) a team in the playoffs or at the door of the playoffs every year leads to higher expectations
2) the same holes year after year the draft isn't fixing.
3) having issues and over 50 mil in cap space just sittting there and barely missing the playoffs pisses people off. pisses me off.
4) building through the draft can successfully be supplemented with the right free agents. nobody builds 100% through the draft. your team will suck.
