[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1070118, member: 17987"] I land somewhere in the middle, but I do kind of agree with the principle: We have generally had an incredibly solid collection of good to very-good players. But IMO what separate teams in the biggest games is not who has the most "good," "very good," "solid," "NFL-caliber," or "good enough to get a second or third contract" type of players. Those games are decided by GREAT players and who steps up or doesn't. Parsons is indisputably a GREAT player and with any luck the kind of difference-making one who steps up in the biggest situations. At the end of the day I suspect we will still have a roster full of good-to-very good players next year, and the following year, and the year after that. And if adding one GREAT player comes at the expense of two or three "roster decisions" that doesn't allow us to retain a *good* player, in all likelihood I am going to be okay with that exchange. Or perhaps another way of putting it: If I had to guess, the players who may *potentially* become cap casualties as a result of adding Parsons were probably not going to be the biggest difference makers in the most important games now or in the near future. I think the move will greatly improve our team (and postseason chances) right now and I don't think the trade-off will be as great as envisioned. This isn't like the Browns pushing in all their chips on Deshaun Watson or something :P [/QUOTE]
