Great responses from all, both viewpoints well-represented.
Agreed, good dialog.
The combination of spectrums makes it very interesting, all of my evaluations are based on several scales, the two most relevant are described below.
Spectrum 1 - "Win at all costs now" versus "Long-term Success"
0 = Win at all costs, 100 = Long-term Success
- I place myself around 35
- I would rather win a few more championships now with Brady in his prime than make the playoffs for the next 5 years
- but I understand the need to not completely risk the future and commend the FO for their team building approach
Spectrum 2 - "Samuel is a top young CB" versus "Samuel is a product of the system"
0=Top young CB, 100=Product of the system
- I would place this around 45
- I feel he is better than a lot of people think and has improved every single year
- also understand that he has played with some excellent defenses and a defensive minded coach
In the end I hope he plays all 16 games with a chip on his shoulder (either with the tag) or even better with a long-term deal. If he sits out or is traded our secondary is really weakened.
