For me, it's not even about the 11M contract. I wouldn't even be happy paying him Kadri's salary. He's barely played at a 4-5M level since he's been here.
We gave him a contract to replace #13's (
) production, but he's barely even a replacement for Mangiapane.
I don't care if he's got a couple more points so far this year than he had at this time last year... he's being paid to be the catalyst for our entire offense. A guy that can take over a game and make everyone else better (his linemates, by way of his play, and everyone else because he's drawing all the big defensive assignments off of the other lines).
He hasn't shown for one single second here that he's the guy we're paying him to be. I feel terrible for the guy, because he genuinely seems like he wants to be that guy for us... he just isn't. He wasn't even that guy in Florida, so it's almost all on Tree for paying him that much in the first place.
