But I’m glad some of you felt haggling over some of Mike’s money was worth losing him over.
Also, we’re not the Pats. If it was as easy as just copying the way they do things everyone would be winning championships. And let’s see how they do now that they’re moving on from their own aging star player...
You're just plain wrong, and your whole argument is based on hindsight. Whit was at an age where linemen start falling off drastically. Unless you think the front office should have some magical crystal ball to see into the future and see that Whit would be an absolute anomaly and not fall off, then the decision to go with younger players was the smart one. Those players did not work out, but that is a different issue.
