I agree that we have the kinds of problems with salary cap for which we would have liked to have seen more and deeper playoff appearances and runs. We definitely are a much more talented team than we have been in years - especially in terms of proven elite talent & legit near-term potential for elite.
That said, I have tried to figure out the salary cap maneuverings over the past few years, and I have to admit that teams' ability to build and keep a roster while fitting under the cap when it seems near impossible has been surprisingly difficult for me to fully understand. While that's been a bit frustrating when we were the ones with massive cap space and I had been hoping we'd benefit from others' cap hell, I do think there are good ways to keep talent and continue to build the roster in spite of it currently appearing as difficult as it does cap-wise. Just over 1/2 the league is currently over the cap in terms of overthecap's effective cap space, so we're not alone. But, I'm with you in wanting to have had more bang-to-date for bucks spent.
