Are you trying to argue there isn't a lot of things they could have done with an extra $10 million a year?

No answer will be good enough using specific instances especially since it would be speculation on who else they could have gotten or how they built the team. As I said though, being in "Never Rebuild" mode has probably been just as damaging. You could argue that the desperation signings of people like Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston was because of this as was the disaster of a head coaching hire that was Trestman(he worked with Cutler before!). They also fired a bunch of coaches who weren't working well with Cutler. They basically spent years trying to "fix Jay Cutler" and it never worked. Even last year, he wasn't anything but average and the team was still pretty bad.

It sounds like I am blaming Cutler for everything but that isn't really what I'm saying. Sometimes things don't work. It's possible that Cutler would have won a few Super Bowls with the Jets or something but it just hasn't happened here and you have to look at the guy who was here the whole time as a major reason why.
