Pete Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Buddy of mine told me Len Pasquarelli reported deal is about done Sounds substantiated and credible to me. Can we get that dude pretending to be Willis to corroborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Why? That move - as stated, would be idiotic. Doesn't matter how well he ends up playing, you could've have had him for less, i.e. his true market value. A guy could buy a new car, pay $100,000 when it's worth $25,000. It could perform flawlessly for years, and he is extremely happy. Doesn't mean he's not an idiot yes he's an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 16 million guarenteed...Buddy of mine told me Len Pasquarelli reported deal is about done. Our 1st and 4th rounder this year for Turner, he'll sign a contract worth around 37 million....Please tell me it's a farce Is your boyfriend mackey7789?

Sketch Soland Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 So how do you determine what Turners "true market value" is? Evidently, it's not what he's traded for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPTheRealDeal07 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Whoa posted and left to come back to this, guess I started quite a stir.

Billsguy Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'm not sure, but I think someone said Lenny P is on sick leave If Lenny P. is on sick leave it is probably because he heard the Bills would be stupid enough to make that deal. That would make anybody sick (except SanDiego) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWesternBill Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I find it bothersome that some people on this board are willing to brand levy "the worst gm in nfl history" after just one season, and half of an off season. Regardless of how or what we give up to obtain any player, if we win more games than the previous year than these certain people on the board look like absolute jackarses. So go ahead, put your neck out there and make these calls, but don't be unwilling to discuss where you went wrong if we don't plunge back down to 2-5 wins.( ok to be fair, 2-6 wins). I am not making any predictions, I am merely asking for well thought out posts without the childish gloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he paid $100,000 for a car that was worth $25,000 at the time, but in 5 years that car was a relic, worth $500,000, he got a great deal. Perhaps he could have saved 75k, but its still a good deal. Thats why you have to take into account how well he performs before deciding HOW bad a deal this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 If our first and fourth don't get this deal done we should offer 2 of our fifth round picks as well. There's no value in the fifth round anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koufax Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Analogy is a bit flawed.

Thats why you have to take into account how well he performs before deciding HOW bad a deal this is. I don't think so. GMs with limited budgets (and car collectors with limited budgets) should spend the minimum possible. That's how dealing with markets should work. If you buy Microsoft today when it was at $80 and you pay $200, you still made a bad deal even if it is worth $1000 a year from now, because you could have gotten the exact same thing for less. Misallocation of resources is an issue for everybody except the salary cap free Yankees. If Walker turns into a pro bowl RT I will still think we will have overpaid because I think we could have still had him for less. Overpaying isn't as painful when people excel and exceed their cost, but it is still a mistake. Where exactly that price level is that defines market value and overpaying remains to be seen, and isn't what we think it is. But if we are going to talk about cars and other analogies while discussing GM theory, paying $100,000 for a car that was "worth" (in market value, not necessarily player value) $25,000 you have made a mistake.

MDH Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I dont think this is true. I think lenny P is on sick leave @ ESPN. I thought I read that some where. Man, Lenny P. needs to get back to work. This is his third sick leave I've heard about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
