Are we complaining about how much money they are making?

Now the speech is talking about how it is a team sport and that has been my point from the beginning when "ranking" QBs.  As many times when we call a QB elite we aren't factoring all of the things involved that is allowing him to play at an elite level.  We do the same thing when it comes to calling a QB average and even terrible.

I watched one game last year where Wentz missed pass to a WR, the analyst never once criticized Wentz, never once mentioned how Wentz wishes he had that one back.  It was somehow the WRs fault or the blocking or just great Defense, but not Wentz.

A few games after Wentz was hurt, Foles misses a pass to a WR, the analyst said that Wentz wouldn't have missed that pass.  Foles just isn't accurate, that Foles "needed" to make that pass and that Foles wishes he had that one back.  No blaming the WR, blocking or Defense.  Nope just Foles.

So I don't put as much stock in NFL experts.  I do love the game, maybe not the politics that seems to be forced and the attitude of some of the players, but the game is great and wonderful.

I also don't buy into a player until he plays for a significant amount of time and I do give credit for players that win SBs, since that should be the goal of every player playing.  I know it's not, but if I am a GM or coach or scout, that would be one of the biggest things I would look for.   

The discussion did turn to the players having football the number one thing in their life.  Living, breathing, and dying football!  Yes, some fans believe, because they pay their money, that's how these guys should perceive their 'job'.  

My point was that it's just a job!  Their 9-5.  For many, football is NOT their life blood. That's what this video supports. They are fortunate to be making the money they are making, and yes, I believe they are overpaid prima donnas that I will never contribute to anymore.  My choice, and because I am in the tiny minority, is the reason these guys make the money they do, because regardless of how much this sport might digress and prices increase, there will ALWAYS be those face painted shirtless fans who live and breathe football that will keep lining the pockets of these men playing a kids game.

Did the conversation get off topic to the original post, yes, and that diversion was what this post is all about, right or wrong.
