[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 617289"] I was trying to be positive in light of the new season. ;) When comparing Daniels' stats from 2014 to Raji's from 2013, with those guys taking about the same number of snaps at substantially the same positions, the Raji excuses go further out the window while going a long way toward confirming any reasonable eye test. That was one point of several THX was making. I guess I should check the rules to see if I'm required to address all of them. ;) But since you bring it up, why single out Rodgers? All of the highly compensated players got bonuses. Then it's not a performance bonus at all. It's a snap count bonus regardless of the quality of the snaps. It more closely resembles a roster bonus than a performance bonus. The program is smart in not getting into statistical performance measures for the reasons cited previously, but it's probably not going to prevent clubhouse grousing (or silent resentment). THX is grousing, perhaps justified, about one $8,000 payment, and he doesn't even have any skin in the game. And while there will always be some bench players who silently (or maybe not so silently) desire that the player in front of him surrender his snaps one way or the other to get to that next contract, now there's hard immediate cash attached to it. The program is not all bad, but it's no basis for a program designed to solve the broad "problem" of guys being underpaid or the lack of a mechanism to claw back guaranteed money from an under performer.
