Never thought I’d see the day where the Cardinals, Lions, Commanders, and Falcons are your NFC division leaders at midseason

Agreed, which is why I really don’t understand the whole “Blow it up” thing. Stay average, hit it big with a draft, and/or free agent signing or two, and/or a godsend coaching hire, and suddenly you’ll find your team rolling and eventually in a close, barn-burner Divisional round game.

(see 2014-2017 Saints)
To me, there is a big difference between 'blow it up' and 'time to get your salary cap in order'.
I'm advocating for the latter.
