Know what I'm annoyed at?
What I'm annoyed at is that leading up to today a player with a historical 38% never play another down in the NFL injury occurs to a grossly overweight player whose grossly overweight brother, father, and mother all died young and were obese and his brother and father had diabetes, and his mother died of a stroke followed by a heart attack is ignored as a serious factor here by people who want to laud the player for his past (although let's not mention 2013 (they say it's a small sample size - I say he looked like crap), and give him a big pile of money that we don't have to.
Are all our holes fixed? No. Will they be after the draft? No. Would we better off with the $7.58M in additional cap to direct to areas we need help? That's the actual question. Neither side has had enough data - even this extension isn't proof positive - so what's with the guilt trip?
Pardon us unwashed savage unfeeling low lives for being concerned about VW being able to play at any professional level. Why is that concern inferior to your desire to retain big fat cuddly Vince based on the past? Does anybody want to seriously argue that Vince is NOT past his peak? Or that NT's or run package DT's are cheaper than when this contract was signed?
Nobody outside the medical staff and BB knows if they have an answer about him actually being in shape to play at a high level this year as of today - and if it's good enough. We can intimate that there is some hope, but how much? We'll see.
I'd rather be an unwashed savage unfeeling low life than a person who thinks we "owe" VW a dime beyond the limits of the rules if he can't earn it. VW will get his number retired in Foxobo regardless. He's a great player. Free agency should have washed away the pablum and naive mindset of fans a long time ago.
Unless you're expecting Vince to drop dead on the field because of his mother/father/brother, your post makes no sense.
