I've thought about this a lot. Not just in football, but professional sports in general.

This is a really interesting topic. First of all, I'm of the opinion that more money doesn't mean more production. How much more, physically, can one get out of his body and mind. Either it's there or it isn't

Which brings us to this, if the player has an 'off' year he is immediately considered a bust. So the mentality is, I have to live up to this contract or people will ride me.
