A GMs job isn't just looking to future seasons, but ALSO the ones right before him.
Some of you act like putting together the best squad we can muster for 2023 is NOT part of his job.
It's absolutely part of the job.
It just shouldn't be the top priority when Ray Fucking Charles could see we're not going anywhere in 2023 no matter what we do. And if he's inclined to make moves that cost us future assets for 2023 because he can't see that, he's incompetent. If he does so because he thinks a few more wins this year can save his job, he should already be fired.
We can talk about "he should do this AND this," that's fine. But at some point, you're deciding whether to spend a nickel today or invest it in tomorrow, because you can't do shit with a nickel anyway. I want to see the nickel invested. Any Bucs fan who isn't a) terminally ill or b) willfully obtuse should want the same thing. There is no scenario, no set of brilliant moves, no degree of draft success, that's going to put this Todd Bowles led team in the same class with teams like the Eagles, 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, etc in 2023. The roster is too thin, the cap space is too limited, the lines are too iffy, and the head coach is too shitty. So let's fucking build something.
