True, but they are trying to hit a homerun, not a double. As I said before, mediocrity, is more a burden to improving in certain circumstances than sucking is. There is freedom in not being able to get much worse.
And then people would be botching for them signing 3 QBs instead of getting other positions. Not to mention all those other guys still in college may not even pan out for one reason or another.
If you are trying to tell me Belichick expected Brady to be Brady, I think you are full of shit. My point was that in the alternate universe where Bledsoe doesn’t go down, you likely think of Brady as an average QB on some shitty team that overpaid him (eg. Matt Cassel).
My point was that there are only 16 games, you can start one person, and if your #1 is decent, the backup will never see the field. Because, they never see the field, they often don’t develop. I am of the belief that their are a few people as talented as Brady that never got any time, or were in a bad situation. I don’t say that as a knock on Brady, as I think he is a spectacular player. I just think opportunities for guy’s who had his draft spot are few and far between regardless of talent.
No, it’s recognizing that if you are going to spend a million dollars, do it in a way that has greater upside. Your argument is like saying its better to buy 6 food trucks than to buy one franchise restaurant. Yeah, your food truck might be very successful, but the upside is not like owning a McDonald’s or BK.
Or alternatively, a regular guy is more likely to take a double or nothing bet if he is 30MM in the hole as opposed to 10K in the hole. Why? Because the functional difference between 30MM and 60MM is small. The Skins can’t get much worse, and being GOOD in their division doesn’t even guarantee them a playoff spot.
Right, but you can get better at most positions via free agency or draft development. The rarity of an elite QB means you need to either get really lucky or smart, or draft them. As we know, the Skins are neither lucky nor smart.
