Reset is not possible

That's not how this works. When he made the announcement and we stuck to it... I planted the flag. I mean i can literally find the thread where i planted it. And we said see its finally here, what we have been warning about the entire time is here. And then we have people saying we can still squeeze more blood out of that rock. Or we could have went further. We couldnt, we saw the results. The fruits of everything we have been warning about blossom this season. When this is the season we should.have been clear of the mess after Payton left.

We all knew it was coming. That doesn't mean the 15 years we had as a championship contender wasn't worth it. They should have started to reset the cap in earnest 4 years ago. But we did start a year ago and while the reset contributed to our depth problem, the core of our depth problem is that we haven't drafted well enough. We have done okay with the top 100 picks (need more elite players but most of the picks are solid contributors outside of Foskey). The real issue is that they have barely hit on any picks in rounds 4 to 7 which is where Ireland is supposed to be in control.

So, yes, it should have happened sooner. But does it really matter if the misery started this year or 4 years ago? Loomis gambled on continuity and it didn't work. Hopefully we are now on the right path. If not, Loomis is the next to go.
