I know how good the Vermeil team was. You seem to support squeezing more out of the lemon vs. realizing the team needed to be blown up. Many of even the biggest Herm haters back me on this. If anything, I think the team should have been blown up in 2006 instead of 2007.
And I'm not overstating how good the 2008 team was. Replace Thigpen with Sanchez (even if mediocre, it's a huge upgrade). Get Charles in the starting mix. Use $57M to add 3 or 4 not just good, but elite players. Bring in 1 or 2 more contributors through the draft. Hire a good coach to coach that team that's not Herm. That is an ascending team, which is what you want coming out of a rebuild.

When in fact there were 20 dudes that played 3 years on the 06 roster and mother****ing 17 after Herm left. Link and Link

While barely spending any money. I have no interest in keeping a bunch of overpriced 35 year olds around during a rebuild. We're not talking second contract players. We're talking 3rd or 4th contract guys.

Like I said in that thread, teams can be rebuilt and turned over without becoming a joke of a ****ing franchise. So you're going to point to a $40M cap difference and say that Herm still ROOLZ. Dorsey is not perfect but he has done a pretty nice job here. Especially in the context of Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards and Scott Franchise Killer Pioli.

If you honestly want to compare what Dorsey inherited to what Herm inherited with a straight face, I don't know what more I can tell you. Herm inherited a team that could have limped to short-term success, but was an utter long-term disaster. Period. Dorsey did not walk into a bad situation. The best option for Dorsey was to retool or very light rebuild. The best option for Herm was blow that roster up. I don't know how this could even be up for debate.
