Half Assed Rebuilding Mode

[BleedBurgundy]

Anyone else notice the bipolar nature of our front office?<sarcasm> I can't get my head around the moves we appear to be making. On one hand, we make insanely large "win now" type deals, where we sign the biggest free agent on the market and give Hall a huge deal. We patch the oline where possible, instead of drafting to fix it long term. We openly court an unhappy pro bowl qb, effectively showing a lack of confidence in our own first rounder from a few years back. All of those moves seem to say that the front office thinks we're ready to win now.

Contrary to that, we are now apparently ready to start over (again) at the qb position and put ourselves in a position where we will be starting a rookie qb and potentially a 2nd year virtual rookie at wr in either kelly or thomas. I don't get it. Are we rebuilding or going for it all? Seems to me that the teams that are successful in transforming from below average to a contender go full throttle and blow things up, starting from scratch. The fact that the Skins live in this constant state of self delusion is going to doom us to more and more seasons of mediocrity (at best). At this point, I don't care what we do personnel wise so long as we can see some discernible plan. Until that happens, we're spinning our wheels.

If we draft Sanchez, I'd like to see the following moves:

1) Trade any senior veteran with value whose cap hit is not prohibitive. Honestly, I think we need to consider 28 and older "senior."

2) Focus playing time on developing younger players at the expense of playing time for vets. It's the only way we're going to grow our own guys and see if they're worth anything.

3) Commit to the head coach for the next 5 years.

Basically, this is the scorched earth approach to rebuilding.

Would you guys rather see us keep bailing water, hoping for the odd 9-7/10-6 trip to the playoffs or do you think we're better off blowing it up and starting over?
