Ehh.....I don't know if I agree. Its just year 1 of the deal so its hard to say he was worth the whole deal since we are so early in it. And i'd say he is far down the list of why the 49ers reached the Super Bowl.
Fair enough. I'm not sure most free agents at any position live up to these big contracts, but that's the price of doing business. If we want to improve, we need to do it. If we want to tread water, we just need to keep following this flawed approach that has shown that it does not work. Apparently, the Joneses are delusional enough to think they can keep doing the same thing and get different (better) results.
Thats a crazy contract for a good player, with 1 great season under his belt. But thats what you get in free agency. Good players are paid like great players, and average players are paid like good players.
I mean i've spoke about it in the past....its impossible for these guys to live up to the deals because on their rookie deals they are in the prime of their career physically. A guy is on his rookie deal from 21- to 26 years old....he's only going down hill from there.
