We aren't in cap hell...yet and maybe never will be...however...that's not because Berry is some sort of cap-savant. It's because our owner has an unlimited open checkbook.
Berry's use of Jimmy's money has been unremarkable at best...and shown incompetence at worst.
The Jimmy isn't the only one with the unlimited checkbook throughout years apon years of the NFL. Why hasn't any Owner/GM done this strategy and made it work? Plenty of teams throughout the years have tried to go all in, only to have to trade/release players b/c of being poorly managed. Saints, Rams, etc. He deserves a lot of credit for that. However....I do agree either evaluations or injuries have led to some definite misses. I give him credit for how it is set up, they still have some flexibility. However, I'm not sticking up for him on some of the evaluations.
