Jesus you guys are ridiculous. You realize there is a hell of a lot of middle ground between the Redskins approach and Ballard’s, right? You only want to talk about the extremes. Look at the damn transaction lists for the last several SB winners. Not just the year the won, but the year or two prior as well. I’ve already touched on the Bucs and Rams. The 2017 Eagles had 10 drafted starters, 10 acquired by free agency, and 2 acquired by trade. Why don’t you site any of those 3 teams? Because it doesn’t defend Ballard’s method as the only way? Even the patriots and Chiefs teams that won recently have been more aggressive than Ballard has.
Claim the team isn’t ready so no reason to be aggressive yet (I disagree), but trying to pretend Ballards method is the proven main or only way to win in the current NFL is fucking asinine. It’s demonstrably not the only way and doesn’t look like the best way when you dig into other rosters.
