Now this is true. I guess I'm still thinking with the old cap structure in mind.
Taking a QB first round used to could really cripple your franchise for a long time if he did not pan out because you were handcuffed to him because of money.
I mean look at Alex Smith. He still sucks (I can't believe people think he doesn't) but he's still there playing game manager for a great defense because of the money invested in him.
You're still left with the issue of how long do you let a guy play to develop, and when do you bench him or draft a new guy. That is still an issue.
And just as an I told you so to all the people that argued with me for 2 years about Snatchez.......he ****ing blows and I told you so. He's been the reason that team never reached the SB.
