Who said it was a bad thing? It's a bad thing when you are forced to do it because of bad drafts …. Well it took JR a couple years to manage the cap in order to be able to bring in those guys. It's part of a GM's responsibilities. Bringing in good free agents.
He brought in three guys, in their primes. The fact that this poster is complaining about it suggests that JR made solid decisions as they helped the team win.
Are we whining that Antonio Pierce, Kareem McKenzie and Plaxico Burress helped us win a SB?
It’s different to me. Those were attempted job saving signings, not final pieces of the puzzle signings. Nobody minds overpaying Pierce to be a coach on the field and make 3 plays if the team wins a title. That wasn't the case with these guys. I don’t think they were good signings at all because they were not part of an overall thoughtful plan so much as they were Hail Marys.

But you still believe obj was the reason they made the playoffs? Ok... I never said anything close to that. You just like to fight...don't you? Simply replying to you is fighting? Or is it disagreeing? You did state they would not have been in the playoffs without OBJ. By that logic, he was a big reason they made it. It's impossible to prove one way or the other, but IMO, the money thrown at the D was a much bigger reason for the playoffs than OBJ. We had the 10th ranked D and the 25th ranked O.

We had the 10th ranked D and the 25th ranked O. We would not have made the playoffs without Landon Collins either. To say we wouldn’t have won without a particular player doesn’t mean that player is THE reason we won. You’d have to be a moron to think that.
