It's hard to decipher because they've done plenty of dumb shit over the years, but it certainly does feel like they're doing a little bit of a reset to clear the decks for a possible Payton move.
The sad thing is you have a franchise QB, you have a head coach that has won a Superbowl. You have a pretty talented defense. To just tuck tail for a year to push the reset button makes no sense to me. But Stephen and Jerry have motivations beyond winning a Superbowl Jerry loves his "relationships" above winning and Stephen well loves money.
When there is literally no chance of losing your job and you can be more than happy to take the "long view" (i.e. 20+ year view), then 1 year seems like a drop in the bucket.
Very true although it never feels that way as fans despite the fact that we also have no pressure for immediate success. I've likely got more years on the earth left than Stephen or Jerry but I feel like I've got no years to lose.
You're giving them WAY too much credit.
It isn't, they'd like to win but they aren't desperate to because it's not their main motivation.
Or like Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction.
You feel me.
The Joneses aren't entitled to civility.
We were going to have to field a short-intermediate heavy passing game without great WRs anyways.
