I respect your right to think you deserve to opine on a player’s salary.
Reality: What a team decides to pay a player is between the team and the player/agent. Fans can agree/disagree with their perception of a player’s value, but it’s really none of their business. The only reason anyone knows (or thinks they know) what a player makes is because there’s a cap and the info has to be made public per league rules. I’d be willing to make a large wager that no team ever consulted their fan base before agreeing to terms with a player. They don’t care what we think, the players don’t care what we think re: their comp, so again….none of our business unless you’re applying for a job to manage the cap for a team.
I agree with you 100%, and along those lines of thinking, teams dont give one damn about who we think they should draft, what rd, what position, who should be starting, how much they should pass, run, what kind of plays, when they should go for it on 4th, when they should onside kick and on and on and on. So... that pretty much means if we take that approach, we could pretty much shut this board down, because damn near every thread on here is full of us dumb fans and our meaningless views and opinions.
I think most of us understand what we think means zip.
