Everything you wanted to know about Cassel's contract compared to peers.

So I have to ask, why do you give a shit about the $, it's not yours and we have plenty of cap room.

In the draft you're paying the slot, that isn't quite the same as choosing to pay a guy the cash then finding out he's not that good.

There is no difference when the argument is it's not your $ why worry about it.

Because it shows Pioli is willing to throw big money at scrubs. There WILL be a time when Salary Cap is an issue. How are we supposed to field a good team with a backup QB making 15MM. Not to mention what we are paying a 5 tech. Whats next? A punter making 20MM/year. Before we know it, we are at the salary cap ceiling and the players making the most don't deserve the contracts.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Its WAY to call Cassel a scrub, and the rest of your post is garbage.

So you not understanding economics, or the salary cap (or English from your post) makes my post garbage. Interesting. You go ahead and buy a franchise and spend 120MM on a career back up and a 5 tech and see how quickly you would be ran out of town. You would be calling Matt Millen asking him for a job and he would just laugh at you.
