    that and not looking at Kaepernick? lol

    I wouldn't say teams are not doing their best, but that it's hard for the coaching staff/GM to take the long view. If Favre had retired, say, after the 4-12 season you can be pretty sure Rodgers is under center week 1 of 2005.

    The long view is what leadership in the front office and ownership should be providing. I agree 5 year contracts and 3 year windows of judgement make that tough.

    Did McKenzie get to sit Carr for a year?

    What is funny is that the sit for a year chorus died out (despite having Dan Marino and sort of John Elway on its side) as QB contracts soared early in the draft.

    That did not stop teams from draft QBs high and playing them right away.

    The 2011 CBA stopped the ever escalating contracts but the QB acquisition and playing time model has not yet adjusted.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
