Why take the chance when you can let him play this year and see what happens.  No one is saying that the situations are the same simply that you don't pay someone 100 million dollars with a third of it guaranteed until you are sure he is 100% and you need to do it.  There is no hurry to pay him before next year.

 

take a chance on what? you pretty much compared Stewarts ankle to Cams, and since he continues to have problems, the other guy will. you do pay someone, if he is your franchise QB. 5th year option should be used in order to get the long term contract done.

I do not think locking down a franchise qb is unwise.

 

Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Oakland---All have fairly talented rosters but lack a qb.  All were in the NFL basement. 

 

it will still keep us in perpetual bargain hunting mode.

Everyone seems to be harping on Cam's salary but did our GM really just say Bell could be our new LT?

 

I've asked this before: What in the f*ck does Rivera and DG see in him?  I just don't get it.    

 

It sounds more and more like our line could be Bell-Amini-Kalil-Scott-Chandler if we don't get an OL in R1 or 2.  

 

Also, what was the Godfrey thing someone referenced? 

 

 

•  He was noncommittal about the future of free safety Charles Godfrey, who has a $7.1 million cap figure and is coming off Achilles surgery.
“He’s part of the evaluation,” Gettleman said. “He’s got to get healthy first.”
•  Gettleman sounded bullish on fourth-year player Byron Bell’s chances to shift from right to left tackle and fill the void left by Jordan Gross’ retirement.
“Byron is a naturally left-handed kid. He played left tackle his whole college career. He’s taken snaps there in practice and in preseason games,” Gettleman said. “I think the mistake we make is we all have preconceived notions about what a guy can and can’t do. I have seen Byron over there. In my mind, he is not a fish out of water.”

"...89 was a football decision....compared it to Babe Ruth being cut..."

and look what Boston went through for the next 86 years or whatever it was....

Boston traded him, or sold him depending on how you look at it. I believe that gettleman is referring to when the yankees released him in 1934.

There are about 12-15 franchise qbs in the world and the NFL has 32 teams.  There is a DIRECT correlation between franchise QBs and winning in the NFL.

 

You don't let a franchise QB go to avoid bargain hunting. You let a DE go--you let a RB go.

 

As for bargain hunting--If Gettlemen has an eye for bargain hunting, it keeps you out of debt.  I would rather that than overpaying for players.  Mitchell, Florence, Munnerlyn, Edwards, Cole, Ginn, Wharton, Mikell, etc.  That is some very serious bargain hunting. 

 

I have NO problem giving Cam a 6-year, $110 million deal with incentives.  I have no problem keeping Cam if it means losing a DE and finding a rookie in the 2015 draft.
