You’re under the impression I’m implying he’s negligent or don’t value the position, neither of which have I said. My point is they don’t typically overpay for players nor do they even step up and pay top dollar for guys, they just don’t do it. Gilmore was the rare exception and I remember how shocked we all were when it happened, especially when the terms of the contract came out. And given the situation with Brady, I can’t see them paying a guy what Brady was essentially looking for, especially since he knew what he had in Brady vs what he thinks he might know in someone else. That’s a strange dynamic and would be hard to fathom.
So you saying I don’t believe Bill values the position would be the same as me saying you think Bill is suddenly going to go and pay a free agent QB $30 million+, neither of which is true. But past history has set up a situation where he’s in uncharted territory. I think he’ll bite the bullet and spend the money and eat Jimmy G’s contract if they can acquire him because of that connection and hope to extend him to make it a little less painful. But outside of that, I don’t see Matt Stafford or anyone with that type of salary coming here. Otherwise, I’m definitely curious to see what he decides to do.
