I'm more inclined to believe if Mike Brown wanted him to be here, he would be here.

He sure is one guy, and he sure can't cover for all the underlying problems...one of which being an owner who values cap space over protecting tens of millions of dollars worth of QB/RB/WR etc.  Less o-line means less offense means more players with big salaries getting less done.  Less bang for your buck.

The money saved by not extending the guy doesn't cover the loss of productivity from the rest of the offense, so sayeth I.  That's just bad business, but owning an NFL team isn't normal business so the normal rules don't apply.
