It's just smart business.  There's no need to be desperate and throw more money than you should at a player, or feel desperate to keep or replace him.

If you were missed for the entire season and your team gets within a game of the Super Bowl, you are not a critical piece of the puzzle.  Not someone who is a pillar of the franchise.

I don't think this is true at all. Eagles won the SB without Wentz... So he's not a critical piece to the puzzle? Pats won the SB last year without Gronk... So he's not critical?

I am totally on board with not giving ARob 16 million but to act like we don't need him at all is flat out false. If he was playing last year, Jags most likely win more games and possibly play in the SB. The play in NE where Westbrook catches a 26 yarder on the sideline but somehow falls down when he had a clear path for a TD? ARob was the best at adjusting and he most likely takes it to the house.

The difference in these two scenarios is Wentz got the eagles to a number 1 seed before tearing up his knee. He contributed to the success of the team that year. Arob on the other hand was immediately lost for the year and the team went on to have a fantastic year in spite of. 

I’m not going to say he wouldn’t have helped because that would be disingenuous but to say he is needed is false. That was proven last year. It has to be based on production not on what if’s. That to me is where the main seperation is between us as fans.
