As for marginal value, you're forgetting about the contract inflation that comes along with an increasing cap. When 2015 hits and the cap is $140M or higher, a $10M cap number for a highly effective WR will not seem bad in comparison. In fact I don't think you'll be able to find a single better value among the players who hit the open market next year.

As for a bet, yes I'll take it with you any day, he will absolutely be a Redskin in 2015. I think people around here will look forward to seeing you proved wrong a lot more than you think.
That bolded thing is the truest thing you've said today.

Look, if he earns an extension, then I'm flat wrong. Wouldn't be the first or last time. But if he plays at a level unworthy of an extension, he's a cap casualty. That's just good cap management, which you've lauded this team before. So if you think they'll continue to show good cap management...then I don't understand how you can't see how safe my position is here.

All of that would have been the case if the Shanahan's were still in charge, but it's a regime that isn't responsible for his contract. So...yeah, connect the dots whenever.

By the way, when I actually am wrong, I enjoy people poking fun at how dumb I am. Makes me feel important.

That's not respect you're earning. It's resentment. You might think you're giving well thought out opinions, but the problem is you present yourself like an ass and people hate it. A good portion of the forum skips your posts. The others either want to see you knocked down a peg, or in my case, are just big enough assholes to go out of their way to do it.

And that's why I respect you.

I'm aware of all of this by the way. But historically, people don't skip over my posts, that's false. Check the amount of people in this room right now.

I wasn't comfortable with this back in the day, but I had two choices, either 1) change my writing style to conform to the sensibilities of others, or 2) just keep doing my thing and not really give a damn how the internet perceives me.

I just don't mind that I offend people. It isn't intentional. But I accept responsibility for it.

You are right in saying you are the reason why so many are viewing this thread. Just not for the reason you think. I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, 4pm is almost here and I'm tired of dealing with you. I'm ready to open a beer and some free agency Christmas presents.

I think you're selling my self-awareness short. But what bothers you doesn't bother me.

Except people who are arrogant and wrong. We agree on that: it's a bad look.
