Personally I'm a much bigger fan of the Colts/Chargers/Giants approach but hey you get what you get.

such a simplification
the Dolphins bringing in Pennington, a vet QB whose upside is maxed out but won't cost you many games, is a parcellsian move to 8-8....
nothing about trading Gonzo, switching to a 3-4 in spite of having almost no one on your roster to run it (a system which is not a fit for your top 5 draft pick DL of just last year), and trading for a QB who has started 15 games in 4 years and for a dynasty (every bit as risky as drafting a QBOTF), says "omg we want to be 8-8".....
they being in vets for 2 obvious reasons:
1.the players we have suck, and they have to get rid of them and need filler for a year
2. they want a particular work ethic and adherence to the system in the locker room, weight room, and practice field
these guys are performing radical surgery, way more than your typical Parcells stereotype...
i honestly don't even know what you mean by the Colts/Chargers/Giants way other then gee these teams have been good for 5-10 years....
