Option B) Get game-manager QB at cheaper price, allocate funds to the rest of the roster to at least improve the odds of having a B- game and being good enough to survive.
They're not inapposite; they're alternative pleadings - I prefer A but if I can't have A, let's try B.
Doesn't seem that complicated to me.

My point is that, Dorsey assembled a team within the cap that was competitive across the board sufficient to win in the playoffs. Outside the 2ndary which wasn't tested [Raper played an ABYSMAL game], they collectively laid an egg in the one game that mattered.
It's rough, and it's rougher given our history. But this past loss was not a continuation of 40 years of the same thing. It was a much better team than we've had in the past having a collective off day at the worst possible time.
I hoped that they got it out of their system with the Titans game, but there was a hangover from that that bit them in the ass.
Alex has nothing to do with Grbac, Bono, Kreig, DeBerg, etc. Certainly nothing to do with Croyle, Cassel, Palko or Thigpen.
A year or two in the NFL can be a lifetime. Despite what we feel as fans, correlations don't survive for generations.
Heck, Romo [and the entire Cowboys org] has as much heartache over the past 20 years in the playoffs as we do, and people are looking to him as a surefire savior even as he enters his Levitra years.
