Why do we have to have a "window" of opportunity? Why can't we build a team that can sustain success for a long period of time? I'll tell you why. Because we are willing to mortgage THE FUTURE to get a QB.

Hell, just look at Detroit and Houston. Those teams have great QBs, right? Everyone wants one of those guys here. They throw for 4,000 plus yards every year, etc. However, did those teams make the playoffs? Nope, because they didn't have enough horses around their QBs, and their defenses were not good.

If we actually had a defense like TB, NO, LAR, then maybe I go all in on a QB. But we don't. We're not close.

We have a lot of key positions on rookie deals and the team needs to win now before they have to pay those guys. You wait an additional 3-5 years to figure out your QB situation, you need to start making decisions on who to pay and who not to pay.

You're not going to address every single position this offseaon. Also, the team needs to take advantage of the funk a lot of the NFC East teams are going through right now. I don't understand why people are so cautious about it.
