[QUOTE="jon, post: 878737, member: 15113"] Thanks for the reply. I'm surprised, to be frank; no one in his right mind has ever come here to read about econ. I take your point, though, but I'm not talking in relative terms. A player will be a value or not, knowable only after he performs. You've introduced 'rational expectations', a Nobel winning concept which absolutely drives decision making. We all expect Kirksey and Blake to perform more or less the same so the lower price makes Kirskey a bargain ... or does it make Blake a waste of money? Depends on your perspective. Such comparisons only go so far. I might want a Mercedes but I can't afford it so it doesn't matter how good it is (or how good I think it is); it's not a factor and I end up with a Hyundai. I am not saying Kirksey is a Korean piece of crap that goes back to the shop twice in 6 months-- his injury history might have made a $10mln IL into a bargain 6, or however much it is-- and we'll all be happy if there's an improvement in the middle of the D. Mine is just a different take on the as yet unfounded optimism about his arrival. And, yes, I do like Blake. I have no trouble with a player voicing discontent and disagreement. Nobody spouted off during Lombardi's time, but things are different now, and players give candid interviews every day. I understand some people dislike it and even see that this is not 'the Packer way', but then I hear the chatter that fills the void left by, say, Rodgers' comparative silence on issues some other teams' leaders would be talking about, and I really dislike that blather. There are very few talking heads on ESPN and elsewhere that impress me, and when they go off on whatever riff to shout about what Rodgers isn't saying, I change the channel. But I'll listen to Richard Sherman and the others when they open up-- unfiltered opinions at least. [/QUOTE]
