Thank you for proving my point by giving the historical exception. Teams don't put their stars at unnecessary risk at dime a dozen positions. They may get spot duty in key situations or due to injury. Paying Cobb 10-12 million and putting him back for punts is moronic. For proof look at the leaders in punt and kick return stats. Notice what is missing. Stars. Frankly, not putting your high paid stars in those situations and exposing them is coaching 101. That is the general rule. History doesn't lie.
