Also the same group that claims that if we trade for Alex Smith, then go idle for a season, then we basically admit that in 2013 we were trying to put butts in seats.
If we are spending money in 2014 on things that probably don't make us Super Bowl competitive, then I feel the same way about this strategy. It's a strategy that might help us win a playoff game and maybe that's a win it itself, but it's ultimately to put butts in seats. That is as safe a strategy as you're going to find, if we're on the subject of "safe."

If spending on high-dollar free agents never works, as you're suggesting, then it isn't safe at all.
