I think part of the reason the team values comp picks so much is because younger players are more reliable than seasoned vets now. Early retirement is all the rage these days, any given minute any player can up and retire. For crying out loud, Ben almost wanted to quit after this past season (allegedly... Who knows what that douche is thinking. Could have been another cry for attention). I don't agree with it, but I get it.
Back on topic, it's no secret that Mike Brown values franchise QB's above all else. That's not bad from a management standpoint, finding a great QB can set your team up for success for a decade or more. But the downside is, Mike doesn't seem to value protecting his investments. Letting your QB rot behind a shitty offensive line will kill their careers, no matter how talented the QB. Keeping Paul Alexander around shows he doesn't think the offensive line is very important when it comes to wins and losses.... It is. It's vitally important. Football is a game won and lost in the trenches. That's basic pop warner knowledge but it seems lost on our owner/president/ceo/GM
