Message: [QUOTE="KembaStepback, post: 2876558, member: 5881"] The difference is that there is a salary cap in the NFL and self imposed salary limits in MLB. The way to win in the NFL is to spend at the core positions. QB, LT, DE, CB. Basically it's about protecting the QB and rushing the QB. Teams have had success lately when they have a rookie QB making pennies, so they can spend more on the rest of the roster. Spending big money on elite level skill players like RB and WR is a fast track to losing. There hasn't been a big name WR that has won the SB in a very long time. I believe the same can be said about RB as well. If you can draft a guy like Kamara late, it works because he's making pennies. We hadn't seen Barkley play a snap and he was already a top 2 or 3 paid RB in the league. They just paid a diva, me me me WR a ridiculous contract and he's already talking about leaving. The reason he wants to leave is because Eli is terrible. I know the OL is bad too, but Eli missed some throws he HAS to make. I know he was getting rushed a lot, but the plays he wasn't getting rushed, he played like he was. He also cannot make any off schedule plays. There is literally not a single starting quarterback I wouldn't take over Eli right now. The giants would be in a WAY better situation if they just drafted Darnold. They could have still taken Hernandez as well. Rbs are plug and play. If the giants struggled this yr, at least we'd see Darnold progressing. The Giants refuse to bench Eli. Shurmur will lose the locker room for this. They might end up lucky and get a top pick to draft a qb next yr...but that simply was never the plan. Sorry I went on a bit of a tangent there...but im still so mad about last night [/QUOTE]
