Really?! Aren't we tight against the cap EVERY year? And I am still failing to see the value that we should be realizing by spending on some of these more veteran players. We are constantly tight against the cap, have a really aging roster, have had poor drafts (save for last year's I hope), and are absolutely handcuffed by Joe's huge contract. For heaven's sake, Ben Roethlisberger (spelling?), Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Matt Stafford, and Matt Ryan made LESS than Joe last year and are all putting up numbers substantially better than Joe's ( and have been at some point in the MVP discussion ). Bad spending. Bad. I would rather blow this thing up and know that we are trying to move forward than continue to put band aids on this mess in effort to "try and surround" Joe with the talent to win. You surround Teddy Bridgewater, Jay Cutler, Carson Palmer, Alex Smith with talent to help them win because they can't carry a team, - not top tier QBs like we are paying Joe to be. If everyone in local and national media, and majority of the fans (and probably coaches) agree he is not the kind of QB that will carry a team, then why are we paying him like one then? And don't give me that "well that is what the market says he should be paid" garbage either, - see above. Of course since I posted this, Joe will have an MVP season next year, we will have a top 5 offense AND defense, and we will win the Superbowl. Then I will eat my words, - and gladly!!
