[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 281883, member: 1429"] Why my case of study should be the Chargers? Why not the Pats? They won based on drafted players with some free agents. The steelers won twice with almost no free agent. The Giants didn't have many FAs on their roster when they won. My definition of contention is to reach the playoffs every year (or almost) and make a run for it. The chargers could be qualified as it, but they choke. Like the vikings. Like the Eagles. Who were build with FAs. I'm arguing how to build a team for the long haul. You've shown me one example where that approach failed. I've shown you several that succeeded. I want one team from the last decade that's a perennial contender and was build through FA. The last time the Panthers won in the playoffs was 2005. How's that for contending in the long haul? There simply isn't one. Every team that was build to win now, with the exception of the Saints (and even then, you can make a case they weren't build to win now) failed to win it, and not only that, but they couldn't make an impact in the playoffs after the run. Actually, the only team that I can think of that was successful by building with lots of FAs and that mantained that success for more than a year or two was the 90's GB... [/QUOTE]
