    You see clueless, I see fans who literally will determine how much they like a player based, in part, on how much the team paid for him.

     

    There is only one thing that will determine if McCarron was a good hire: if he plays well. To suggest that "Well, he didn't play well, but hey, he only cost $15M, so I'm good with this" is ridiculous because the team needs someone under center to play well more than they need to save a few million on a contract.

    I suppose we could just offer everyone $100,000,000 and be done with it. We are talking about potential ROI.. not an after the fact evaluation. It's a perfectly normal conversation in polite circles. At least it seems like it to me.

    Why do you guys keep bringing up price as one reason to be cool with a football player, as if you're the one's cutting the checks?

     

    I mean, I understand it if your neighbor bought a car and  you think "That's a nice car, but I wouldn't pay $xxxxx for it." Because, y'know, you're gonna buy a car of your own one day. 

     

    But pretty much no one here is going to drop $20M on a quarterback, and to somehow think you'll be okay with the pick as long as the team didn't overpay makes absolutely, positively no sense at all.

     

    It's just the weirdest thing to discuss.

    Limited resources.. money to spend other places? If your neighbor needed a new roof but spent $40,000 on a 1971 Pinto you would probably discuss with anyone who would listen.

    I mean, I have SO few posts and SO little "rep" (LMAO) you probably shouldn't listen to me, but I have been curious why big news that is confirmed doesn't seem to get stickied? Seems that if they did the people operating in good faith would at least have a chance to see the news they were already beaten to the punch/post on. Might cut down on multiples. No? or do stickies just take a while?

    Work on that post count before interacting.. seems to be the theme.

    Tick tick, tick tick. Hope they get this put together quickly or the tipster will have to find a new source other than a guy from the DMVs cousin who may own a bar or is just the guy at the end of the bar at some random Buffalo location

    I heard something similar from the guy in the next stall while dropping a deuce at Walmart. I wouldn't automatically dismiss this from happening.
