I’m not of the thinking the team should pay for projections. I think they should pay for production and he only has 1 good year or production. 

You also seem to qualify what the teams does a lot. We were a top offense in 2015 but that’s misleading because they did a lot of losing. Now we are a top offense in 2017 and won a lot but now thats aided by trick plays, poor schedule etc. Some how Arob is absolved of everything though? His 2015 year wasn’t garbage time stats? The team would have only won the Super Bowl had he played?


We seem to make a lot of excuses for him while putting down the team with all these hypotheticals. 

While I respect your ideas I just fundamentally disagree with you.

You're just making my point for me. Both years, the offense was very misleading. They didn't duplicate the 2015 year and I don't know if they can duplicate the 2017 year. I'm not worried at all about the defense but the offense worries me. Can Westbrook and Cole take a big leap forward? Can the Oline get better? Will Blake get better? Will Fournette stay healthy? We know ARob can be productive in the right system. I think he would be productive in this system. ARob isn't absolved of everything by any means but in 2016, the entire offense was poop. Now that we have a better running game, ARob would see single coverage which he can beat or they double him which means they don't have 8 in the box. Teams will still stack the box if we don't have a legit passing game.

These are all unknowns and I think having better players will help them get better. I don't want to pay ARob 16 million but I think the club should do whatever they can to sign him to a long term deal. If he wants too much money, let him walk.
