Do you agree with re-signing Hartline?

[General Tso]

Fine, Lets play your game. Let's make a list of receivers for whatever 3-4 years time period you want. It will compare How much more productive they've gotten from the time they were drafted(Your argument) compared to whether they are still in the league or aren't more productive( My stance or Narrow mind-set as you call it). What do you think we will find?

You're still not playing my game because you're still only talking about the WR position and ignoring the other positions we could strengthen. You're just talking about Hartline for 6 mil+ versus unknown rookie WR for dirt cheap but might bust, but ignoring the position(s) I'd strengthen with the 6 million you put into your 1 TD per year WR.

I'm saying 2 high draft pick WRs like Patterson/Allen and Bailey plus using that 6 million to upgrade at DB, OT or TE is better than spending 6 million #2 guy, not strengthening one of those other weaknesses, having less money in 2014-2016 and likely choosing 1 less WR than we would have otherwise, thus reducing our chances of finding a good one.

Who are the top 2 WR targets in free agency that are about to land 10+ million per year contracts after producing gobs of TDs and super bowl victories for their teams? The 52nd pick in the 2006 draft and the 84th pick in the 2009 draft. Guys teams that already had a "solid #2" probably passed on.

Six million a year for a decent wr with no big play ability is a waste of resources

I can't argue against that. He's a AVG #2 WR at best. He's not a #1 WR that's for sure.

The only thing I can think they are thinking is they think the signing of Jennings or Wallace will make Hartline look better.

That line of thinking to me would be a mistake, Brandon Marshall didnt make him look any better and he is as good as either player.

I remember when Marino eclipsed the 5 mill. per year salary. What do you think he'd be getting now? Still all in all I want Hartline on the team.

So...We can't strengthen other positions now because we just paid Hartline? You do realize we have more money left right? and if need be we can free up some more?

Please show me where I presented a straw man here.

Bess is making about 2.5 mil..................so how much over that does Hartline deserve ??
