- Fans think big names means big wins- Fans want big names- Dominik brings in big names at the expense of huge contracts and bad trades- Fans are happy- Dominik has whiffed on many draft picks and contracts. Building a collection of talent rather than a roster. - Fans blame coaches, how can a team with big names lose?
It doesn't matter that Dominik has brought in McCoy, Claiborne, Spence, Gholston, David, Foster, Revis, Goldson, Banks, VJ, Wright, Martin and Nicks. Some people only look at the negatives. With that kind of Talent there is no way this team should be looking up at a 4-10 season right now.
That does matter. Dom has brought in some guys and structure contracts well . . . but he is still a bit of a mixed bag when you consider the teams record during his tenure and his misses. Also, guys like Gholston, Revis and VJ were really "no-brainers," almost as much PR value as player. In other words, we need a running game, get the "best" guard. We need a deep threat, get the "best" WR. We need pass defense, get the "best" CB and the "best" Safety . . .that would be fine if all these guys worked out, but the record is still what it is. Dom doesn't have many guys that he has brought in that have been "finds" and the fact still remains that Schiano's QB is at the helm presently because Dom's QB had an collapse for the ages.I am a Dom fan and not so much a fan of Schiano as a game day coach. Neither one has a very strong argument to stay around.

Outside of Vincent Jackson and Darelle Revis, What big names are you talking about? Every GM has whiffed on players and given bad contracts. Fact is Dominik has built a Cap that can used every year and not be maxed out every year like the likes of Dallas and Washington. When Dominik took over for Bruce Allen the cap was in such bad shape it took 2-3 years to straighten out. That mindset has allowed the Bucs to go out an acquire talent the past 3 years. With the Bucs nearing a 17-20 million surplus going into this off season the Bucs should be able to add more pieces to an already loaded table.

The cap was in great shape the day Dominik got the job. Bruce Allen is a top money man.

Shouldn't that be in Blue for sarcasm. No actually it wasn't. Hence the veteran purge after Dom and Rah took over. The Glazers knew a Lockout was coming in 2009 and adjusted spending because of that uncertainty.

Football Outsiders ranked the Bucs as having the #2 most efficient salary cap in 2008. They were $12 million under the cap. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/under-cap/2009/under-cap-2008-leaguewide-cap-efficiency

I'm talking about the 2009 cap that would have been in the crapper with the base salaries of Jeff Garcia · Micheal Spurlock · Derrick Brooks · Warrick Dunn · Joey Galloway · Ike Hilliard · Cato June, just to name a few, and their cap hits. Bruce could juggle but he wasn't a money manager to the extent that Dominik is. Just look at what he left the Raiders with after coming over to the Bucs.
Outside of Vincent Jackson and Darelle Revis, What big names are you talking about?
Kellen Winslow, Dashon Goldson, Carl Nicks (which is now an a disaster of a contract), Derrick Ward, Haynesworth offer then signing 2 years later.

What bad trade has Dominik made?
Kellen Winslow. Revis is a bad trade based on the fact we gave up a #1 and #3 for the ability to get him in 2013 instead of waiting for him to be a UFA in 2014. Don't expect you to grasp that idea though.

Then please explain that article that analyzed every team in the NFL and decided the Bucs had the second best cap. Also, Jeff Garcia wasn't even under contract for 2009. Your facts are off. The Bucs had $50 million in cap room and you can't just add the salaries of Brooks, Dunn, June, Galloways, and Hilliard and come up with $50 million.
Haynesworth offer then signing 2 years later.
Lol, everyone would have been doing cartwheels if we had singed Haynesworth at the time of the "offer." Man, that is some crazy revisionist crap. Dom is to blame for an "offer" to the Best DT in football at the time?

Nope. There were a decent percentage of us who were 100% against Haynesworth because we knew he was just about the money.

pppfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftman, you're trying to hard
Don't have to try hard to expose your lies about the cap hell Dominik supposedly inherited. Somehow he had had the cap room that year to give Clayton 5 years, $26M; Winslow 6 years, $36M, Derrick Ward 4 years, $17M; Ryan Sims 4 years, $8M while offering Haynesworth $100M+ with $30M guaranteed.
