This is another talking point I hear on 1070 all the time. Less critical positions. You can get rid of them, (lb, rb, G, DT, etc) but are you going to replace them with equivalent talent at a ‘critical’ position? If no, then you are simply becoming a worse team bc you don’t think that position group should be paid well. Then all you have is money and a less talented team. Are those signings keeping them from an obtaining a player at a critical position? |

If you weren’t trying to win with Rivers or Ryan I see no point in acquiring them. Most people assumed 2 years for each of them. So if the first year is a prove it year as you suggest, then the second year would put you in the situation you just described- pushing for a SB without knowing who your QB would be the next year. Basically by your reasoning they should never have wasted their time with Rivers or Ryan. Then we’re never going to do anything other than make it harder to acquire their future QB. And sell tickets, like the Pacers.

And then the kid exceeds expectations starting his career with what would've been 4-straight 1st-team All-Pros if he didn't miss games in '21. Of course we're going to pay him and reset the market. I've said before, it doesn't make a difference to a QB if he's getting hit off the edge by Von Miller or up the middle by Aaron Donald. Not to mention the culture shift we had on the OL once he a Smith showed up. Same goes for Leonard who started his career by racking up better numbers in his first four years than a whole fucking bunch of elite and HOF players amassed in their entire careers. Of course we're going to pay him. |

Fanboys tend to do what you are doing - complaining about any critique. Must be nice to have a job that doesn’t require performance. |

In hindsight maybe they should have bitten the bullet after Luck retired. But hindsight is 20/20 and Irsay didn’t want to go through a bunch of losing seasons. They have more talent than the pacers did during their stretch of mediocrity. |

Alex Smith was with KC for 5 years and they actively tried to win with him. He wasn’t brought in as a place holder. Wentz could have been a Smith like move, but Rivers or Ryan was not. They were more like Brady and Manning situations and neither of those teams wasted one of their few years seeing what they had before they attempted to win. So I’m not understanding the comparison. |
