Just keep in mind that he was a free agent last year, and the team chose to pay him that amount. Not all valuable contributions in football show up on a stat sheet.

Sample was the 32nd highest-paid TE last year, at 1.3% of the team's salary cap.

This guy: "ZOMG, 3 MIL IS SO MUCH, HE'S GONNA BE CUT!"

He will be with the team for another 4-5 years, barring an injury or something catastrophic

We know he's a better pass blocker than run blocker, but Sample's grades are not trustworthy: we see him 2-3 times a game help seal an edge or open up a hole, RARELY is a run play blown up because Sample missed his block.

Eye test will always trump the grades in that case, they just aren't as trustworthy as they used to be

Your argument for ADG is pretty funny.

‘If you just look past his 4-5 really bad games, he was actually not terrible.’

It’s like in baseball. A 7 era 1.8 whip -2 war pitcher. If you just took his 6 worst starts out of there, his numbers are actually pretty serviceable for a #5 starter.

Yeah. I don’t buy it

I hope I am wrong.

We act like it is easy to win super bowls with top end QBs, it is not.. a QB that is considered one of best all time in Marino nevered did, how about Jim Kelly and today 2 qbs on par with Joe in Jackson and Allen have yet to even get to SB ...

Well, it is a lot easier to win a superbowl w a QB like Burrow than it is to win with one like Herbert, or Hurts, or pretty much any QB in the league not names Mahomes, Jackson or Allen. 

Are you saying that the Bengals chances to actually win a SB are less with Burrow?
