The cap hell will never hit as long as we keep mortgaging the future. by that I mean restructing, reworking, cutting, dropping what ever. We keep having to cut because of the stupid contracts we sign players too. or the lack of draft picks which dictates free agent signings, or the quality of draft picks dictates the free agent signings. This is my point, when we have a few years of minimul offseason movement, and make progress the following years, then we will be moving in the right direction as a franchise.

With the exception of NE & Pitt none of these teams have really built a Super Bowl winner. Indy and Cincy are right there but until they do, to me, it's a moot point. Philly has gone to several championships but no rings to show for it. And from what I can see so far this year, if anybody will be rebuilding it will be NE and some extent Philly.

So if we measure progress by getting to playoffs, then I think we are right there. If the Super Bowl is the measuring stick, well, we have a little ways to go.

Our problem in the past has been we've tried to leap-frog the process and win overnight, now we are doing one inch at a time.
