Wilson leaves Seattle with hosanna's ringing in his ears and begins a descent into ordinary with ears ringing from boos and sighs of disappointment...but he's gonna look for another three or four hundred million....
that's only tangential to this thread but illustrates a point that' still be debated here: A qb is dependent on his surrounding cast.
And no one has ever had better players around him than Prescott. Even to his drafting, as a fifth round pick that meant the first four picks could be spent on players to help him.
Dez Bryant, Amani Cooper, Cole Beasley, Cee Dee Lamb, Michael Gallup. As anyone ever had a cast to equal that.?? The best offensive lineman of modern time Smith at tackle, Frederickon at center and Zake Martin at guard. His tight end was Witten, his running back the great eziekel Elliot.
I want to emphasize that, in my opinion, Perscott has always had limited arm talent and is a product of the cast that's surrounded and protected him.
That makes his recent demands doubly repugnant.
Repugnant in the first instance because he's all ready been paid hundred of millions. And we ought to pause, because these numbers are thrown around so easily and so consistently that we gain an insensitiity....reconsider just what a hundred million means, consider he's still in his late adolence (or early manhood). and is never going to work a real job.
160 million in his last contract. Millions before that and maybe another two hundred million in the future. Endorsements for more millions is merely strawberry short cake.
AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH!
He's got more than he could spend if he spent a hundred thousand in every week - and he lived a long life. He's got enough so that he could live a life of opulence just on the interest.
He's not taking these monies from his employer.
Not in the age of the cap.
He's taking money from his teammates ...who put him in the position where he could be taking money from them. (Irony, please).
Irony be damned, that's more about naked greed.
It diminishes the sport and it's not about jealousy. A capatalistic to the core, I also see awful excesses in the system and I am much more sympathetic to the robber barons who gave us railroads, cheaper energy,the cell phone and in the long perspective are serving us via the system.
I don't like the fact that Barkley is no longer a Giant. Again, I don't know how I'd change things, but - more and more and little by little - this sport is getting away from the game itself.
I don't like the slaughtering of animals anymore, and sometimes I look at my steak and see "flesh". But I dont have the courage to go vegetarian. But I think it's time to consider giving up the NFL. Limited as I am, I think I have enough courage to manage that. Because?? because we support the system and we're responsible for it's excesses.
