Re: Big contracts = big pressure
As far as Brunell's preseason comments about getting to the Super Bowl are concerned, I bet he said that because he knew that he obviously wouldn't be around much longer. He's getting older and the team had a lot invested in Campbell, so Brunell knew that for this season it was basically Super Bowl or bust. I guess he busted.
On a different note, do guys like Adam Abercrombie really feel all that much pressure to perform well after they get that fat signing bonus? I know that these guys obviously have a ton of pride in their game and they don't want to look like fools, but if they know they're set for life do they feel the same need to work their a$$es off?
I guess the answer to that question is sort of the fundamental difference between our franchise and one like the Pats.
