The insanity of this FO

When in such a simple debate you start using words like "context, content and conclusions," It suggests that it's no longer about the argument but instead your need to try to show some great understanding that eludes. It's a simple debate of opinion about acquiring a player, or not.

There isn't a comparison between a second round draft pick hopeful and arguably the best at his position. Simple, no argument. As black and white as you can get.

His pay is what it is. You weren't arguing that initially. Your initial argument was that his pay is such that we wouldn't be able to sign players we want from other teams and our own. I used your own example of how this wasn't true, in that we were prepared to sign Watkins. We didn't because his price went too high. Exactly what I said from the start - we aren't handing out those astronomical contracts anymore.

I've essentially said the same thing in reply to you in three different posts using one of your own examples to refute your own argument. I think its pretty clear whose stretching and reaching etc.

My initial post was that the price is not too high IMO and I explained why. You disagree and that's cool, not a problem. You just couldn't support your argument and that's cool too.

Bottom line, I think he could help without negatively impacting the team and that's what its all about anyway.

Lol - so for your purposes you can fabricate an argument that has nothing to do with what the person you are arguing with is talking about. Im sorry, but that’s just your excuse for fabricating an argument that doesn’t apply to what I said, and to top it off you incorrectly quoted me, and further still drew ridiculously flawed conclusions from it. I have no illusions that you won’t keep twisting words, making up your own version and claiming logic where there is none, so you can play with yourself. By now.

I think you meant "Bye..."
 
Come on, you know. Jerry had to get rid of Jimmy so he could take complete credit for
3 superbowls. This is well documented even on video if you care to check.
Jones did not steal anything fulfilling his narcissism.
 
Conventional wisdom in the NFL says the absolute best time to compete and win titles is with a good QB on a rookie contract. We have that. This year and next. This is the time to strike. Yet Jerry and son are content to with the status quo. Content to roll out scrubs at safety instead of spending the $. The money saved on Dez’s contract pays for Earl. Earl makes this defense a top 5 unit. Who cares that we give up a third. A third rounder is what got us Chaz Green. Spend the damn money.
Im on the fence about Thomas because I really like the young talent the team has been drafting and this team IS getting better!

I am as well. On one hand, I'd love to have a Pro Bowl safety back there stabilizing the secondary.

On the other, I don't want to overpay for what might be a luxury rather than a necessity. I'm not interested in giving up a premium 2nd round pick and then making Thomas the highest paid safety in the league. Not at 29 years old, and not when safety contracts are falling, not rising.

And I'm curious to know the last time that a team traded a premium draft pick for a non-quarterback, made that player the highest--paid at their position, and things worked out and they won a championship?
