Nope not his agenda.HuskerHawk":1lkqzi3w said:Where should that money be allocated? While we're at it, Sherm and Earl's contracts are a waste too. Why pay all that money for TWO db's, when they can't completely mask all other defensive defficiancies with they're complete awesomeness. Go on. Solve those problems. Where should we put that money?TwistedHusky":1lkqzi3w said:Right now, Wilson is scoring 1 TD per game in every game but 1 this year.
There are about 15 other QBs that can do better than that in the league now, even with this line.
What we did do is pay someone big money that is going to starve the rest of the team (like what happened to the Ravens with Flacco), assuring we won't be getting better but probably will be getting worse.
20M per year QBs need to score more than 1 TD per game. Wilson is terrible at converting possessions in scoring territory into TDs this year and that is a key reason we are struggling.
But since there isn't a big giant free agent market in competent QBs, we are pretty much stuck overpaying for the results we are getting. (note: we are not really paying him $20M this year in terms of cap hit, so this only matters if he is playing like this next year).
ET and Sherm have proven they can play up to their contracts, they were both the hands down best at their positions at the time they signed their contracts. At times they will play like that, they will have bad days.
The difference is we paid wilson based on expected performance, everyone said if we pay him the money we will open up the offense and he will be like brady, rodgers, manning etc. RW has never in his career played like a 20million dollar QB and some naive fans just expected him to grow into that when he got the contract. It seems like he has topped out.
