1) Never said he was. But he wasn't a TT pick either. He came in as a role player to cover non blocking TE's that Popp couldn't handle. As I said above he outplayed Hawk badly and should have been starting instead of Hawk.
2) Popp is a TT pick and his deal was worth far more overall than Chillars. You are comparing base salaries I believe.
3) I'm hung up on the fact that Chillar was the BEST LB we had last year and didn't play enough. He got on the field later when too many injuriees and bad play mounted. I also pointed out the BJack vs. Grant situation, the guy who got paid got the carries even when BJack was outplaying him badly.
4) If you think MM doesn't care about TT's guys you dont' understand the relationship of a hand picked coach and his GM. They discuss most everything from draft picks to player cuts.
I'm not sure what axe you think I have to grind. I've been a huge supporter of TT and MM going back thousands of posts. I criticize when I think its correct and I back them when I think they are right. I don't know what you mean by me seeing conspiracies and questioning my objectivity. Hell, I'm not even sure why you chose to make this a personal dig....If that doesn't make you sit back and reflect on your self esteem..........

Oh wait, Chillar isn't a Sherman pick? I guess there is some distinction between a draft pick and a free agent signing? Why the hell are Pickett and Woodson playing, shouldn't they be benched as well?
Poppinga's paid much than Chillar? Really? I don't think so....
Discussing draft picks and cuts, yes. Setting the starting lineup no.
Look, I may have jumped the gun on calling you out, but your argument was so full of holes that I admit that it annoyed me. I said "Perhaps you have an axe to grind". If not, fine.
IMO, Chillar only stood out because you could see him making plays in the passing game. That's about it though. I doubt you can find much support for your belief that he was the best LB on the team. I just don't see it.[/b]
I'm not alone in my "psychology". Bedard and McGinn last year griped about how bad Grant looked and couldn't believe that he was still getting the bulk of the carries when BJack was averaging about a yard a carry more. They paid the guy and felt obligated to play him.
All a chat site is, is a bunch of guys second guessing the coaches and reading minds. I'm no different. My guess is that you disagree with my politics over in FYI and are letting your angst towards me bleed over into my football posts. If thats not it, then I'm completely confused as to why you got personal with my post when most everyone on this board makes similar posts everyday. I don't even mind you debating the "full of holes" part as waldo has, but the personal shot irked me (only a little though, as is my nature).
