I don't know the exact details of what he's getting, but I'm guessing we could have paid him most of his existing contract all in his first year here.

Not that I want that brokeneck horseface on my team anyways.

Manning at 40% > Casshole... Personally, I would of took a chance on the high risk of injury and cap implications. At least Pioli would have tried to get a guy to compliment the offensive threats around him. Instead we go into ANOTHER season with a QB who has to play not to lose, rather than launch the ball down field with confidence.

First of all, no. I'm no Cassel supporter. He lacks Manning's savviness and general skill overall. But to claim that a healthy Cassel is 40% of what Manning is after sitting out a year with multiple neck surgery, and by all accounts having 60% of the armstrength he formerly had is preposterous. Even saying that he is 40% of a healthy Manning is a stretch. The dude doesn't throw laserbeams and throw undroppable balls. I would say that a healthy Cassel is close to 65-70% of a Manning in his prime.

Casshole in his prime, (meaning he's capable of putting his cap on in one swipe) wouldn't start if Manning had a bone protruding through his neck. Our most accurate QB wasn't drafted and is currently sitting on IR. If Pioli wants to win games, start Quinn and cut our losses with MC after the season.

Or, we can all decide to just continue ignoring logic and make excuses, as has been done since the day Carr signed in Dallas.

Who the **** said they didn't?

They extended Flowers, DJ and Charles while they still had more than one year left on their current contract/team rights to player.

Also...Carr didn't look very good until his last year here.

Did he show "potential"? for sure.

Did he show any consistency of good play worthy of giving him a long term deal where he would be getting the money you are talking about?

Not really..and Ive been a fan of the kid since before we drafted him.

The list of players Pioli has treated well in contract negotiations is getting quite long and the list of players he has lost to free agency (that it hurts losing) is basically 1.

Actually...its still 0 because we haven't even seen Routt as our #2 (RCB), yet...in a real game.

For all we know, Brandon Carr looks in over his head in Dallas and gets cut in a couple years because of his cost.
