[QUOTE="sschind, post: 762748, member: 10247"] You and I and a few others have been saying this same thing for a while now. If we cut them sure we save a bunch of cap money but with no replacements on the roster we will have to spend a good chunk of those savings just to get back to where we are now. Sure there is a chance that the three starters we sign, at a cheaper cap hit hopefully as that is the whole point of cutting them, will be as good or even better but IMO there is an equally good chance that they will not be as good. Its usually lesser talented players who come cheaper, unless you get lucky and hit on a sleeper, so by signing cheaper players will you get the same production? IMO its a toss up and I'd hate to get worse at the position just to save a few million dollars. There is no such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people who ask questions. Seriously though if you follow the "there is no such thing as a stupid question" ideology then you obviously have never worked much with the general public, especially in a retail setting. When I had my pet store I had a 30 gallon tank set up with about 2 dozen black tetras and 2 dozen white tetras in it. Now for those of you who are not familiar with tropical fish and black tetras and white tetras in particular let me describe them to you. Black tetras are black and white tetras are white. Other than that they do look remarkably similar. A customer was standing in front of the tank staring at it for a few minutes and then he asked, in all seriousness "which ones are the white tetras? I know he was serious because when I looked at him with a quizzical expression on my face , or maybe it was a perplexed expression, come to think of it it was probably most likely a "what the hell did you just ask me" expression. He just hung his head sheepishly and started to shake it slowly from side to side. At least we both got a good laugh over it when he came around. That said, I do agree that questions are a quest for knowledge and should not be scoffed at, in most cases anyway. Sometimes, especially in a sports related discussion, some people think of particular questions as stupid when in fact the only reason they think that is because the "obvious" answer is based solely on their own opinion and in many cases that opinion has no real facts to back it up.
