[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 149075, member: 816"] What a great irony here. It is true.... No one really answered the question in the original post. Getting a top flight 1st rounder in 2008 isn't trying to build for a distant future. It would fit in perfectly with building for the future. I think it's spin to say not trading with Cleveland is anything but foolish for a team that is clearly building for the future. What does the future mean? I don't think the upcoming season comes to mind. The upcoming season would be covered by the term WIN NOW. So, since we all agree that were not trying to win now, then not trading for Cleveland's first makes zero sense. Some want to say there's some strange gray area where he's building for the future by doing stupid things in the present. The greatest irony is that I'll bet anything that those who are applauding Ted's conservative approach, are the same who love Brett's "gunslinger" throw up jump balls into triple coverage and see what happens approach. That is irony. We have a QB who is over the top trying to "win now" and a GM who is plodding along for the future. Hey, I couldn't care less what Favre thinks. I'm one who wished he'd hung up his cleats 4 years ago. My whole reason for posting was questioning the philosophy of this team vs. the choices it's made. They aren't congruent. We don't have a clearly defined plan and that's pathetic. Can we sign Trent Dilfer to play QB? He'd fit right in with our cautious approach to "trying to be competitive" instead of actually being competitive. [/QUOTE]
