[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 547322, member: 5830"] You assumed how I would think about this....pot calling kettle black That's exactly why I think about it that way. Large contracts hamstring a team. I'd rather see that money spread out amongst several difference makers that don't necessarily need to be elite. QB is the only position that I value above all of the rest on a football team. I'm relatively fine with Rodgers' contract being larger, but of course wish it was smaller. The rest of the money should be spread more evenly and stars should be allowed to leave if they want to break the bank so that competitive players can still be fielded for the team. I tend to think similarly about the draft. I would prefer that we mostly trade away our first round and second round picks to secure a bunch of mid-round picks. I think that in addition to quality scouting, a big part of the draft is just luck. Therefore I'd rather rely on quantity vs quality. Scout out all of the best mid-round picks and cut away the duds at the end of training camp. You don't need 1st round picks to win championships. You need enough quality players to field a balanced team with as few deficiencies as possible and the depth to survive injuries. Big contracts and #1 picks tend to go in the opposite direction. It's cap-friendly compared to what Matthews would have commanded out on the market...and that's the point as it's related to Peppers [/QUOTE]
