This guy was completely useless vs the Saints in the playoffs and he wants a big payday? I want something of what he is smoking.
Avril is a great player but he has limited versatility and that makes him cost prohibitive. He's going to get a monster payday because of both his skill and position. I think Jacksonville is a far more likely landing spot than NE.
Williams on the other hand has the versatility we're looking for, just as much explosion, much more size, and his career will be far longer. His rhetoric also seems quite different and Patriots friendly...
“It’s really not that big of a deal to me. I was the first pick (in 2006), and I’ve already had everything I really wanted, so my biggest thing is to be in a good position, a good scheme, a good system and continuing my career. Hopefully, it works out."]
One game is all anyone looks at when determining player value?
Play off games are very important. That is the time when a player is supposed to give everything he's got.
When the Pats reach next year's playoffs and Avril performs like against Saints, Pats will be one and done.
No player in NFL history has played for any real length of time and been excellent in every game. As for the playoffs, go take a look at Montana's playoff career. He had a few stinkers in there, and he's often called the best ever.
He probably is called the best because he had plenty of excellent playoff games.
Avril's playoff performance certainly didnt improve his "player value", at least for the Pats. Pats are SB contenders, they need players who perform in the playoffs, not players who become completely invisible in the playoffs.
