How dare I ask you to look.

If you're referring to Elvis Dumervil being cut you have left out a HUGE part of the story...a paperwork error caused his release. They didn't want to have to release him.

If they didn't want to release him (which I believe) then why did they release him? Because they would of been in cap trouble if they didn't... which is who's fault? Can NFL teams control how they manage the cap? YES... so isn't that partly the Broncos fault? Yet you want to make excuses for that, yet you won't take excuse for players getting injured on the field... and teams have no control over that.
So based on that logic, excuses are acceptable for things they can control but not acceptable for things they can't control? That doesn't mean logical sense... then again many people have said common sense is dead, so many.
Our approach is non-aggressive toward winning it all and all about long term stability in having a chance.

Just because you get aggressive trying to win it all doesn't mean you will... just look at Rex Ryan early years as head coach with the Jets, he went all in, they didn't get and have had NO CHANCE of winning it the last couple of years.
So there are two main approaches... long term stability, trying to give the team a chance to win it every season, or the more aggressive style of giving yourself a better chance for a few year and then not even having a shot at winning it for even more years after that... but I still see that as style more than substance because either way there are going to be a number of years that you don't win it.
I favor and all out assault at WINNING IT ALL. Denver is doing that this year despite you not realizing it.

Soon our long term stability model will go by the wayside when Aaron is done. You will regret, as a fan, that your GM didn't go for it more with the greatest of all time while we had him. You'll see.

But I remember the Sherman years when he did go out in an aggressive mode trying to help win another one before Favre retired and that got them zero Super Bowl wins and cost them as they didn't have a chance to win the Super Bowl in Favre's later years with the Packers until 2007...
Getting more aggressive doesn't mean you win more... it might help your chances some, but it will also mean there are years you have no chance... it didn't help Sherman or Rex Ryan win one... and many many other are the same way.
I think most of the teams that have won the Super Bowl are ones that went with the less aggressive long term stability method... most of those that go with the short term aggressive burn out with out getting a Super Bowl ring.
