Signing a 30 year old punter (damn good one BTW) does not mean win-now either. Feagles retired at age 44.
Bowe is 28, and this is only his second contract. You don't think he has 5-8 more good years?
Other than trading draft picks to acquire Smith, nothing has been win-now, mortgage the future type moves. And if the FO doesn't like the QBs at the top of the draft, than Smith was the best QB available, so I find it hard to complain too much.

wait... don't you understand? unless you draft a QB 1.1 and have a roster composed of homegrown players all under the age 25... you have no shot of winning a championship. none. you might as well not even field a team, seriously.
