I think that is a pretty good comparison from a contracts perspective. While in retrospect, the hypothetical Brodie 7 year contract might look great, it would have been dumb to sign him to that in 2012.
It isn't just about the results, but the process. The process of granting 7 year deals on a season's worth of work is horribly wrong, and wonderfully oilery.
