Of course, but not winning the Super Bowl doesn’t automatically make this a poor deal. If Parsons wins DPOTY each of the next four years, I wouldn’t view the contract as a failure. 
 

To me, there are two ways this contract isn’t a massive failure:

1) win a Super Bowl

2) Parsons is the most dominant defensive player over the next 4 years

I think GB is happy if he has another 50-60 sacks over the next 4 years. lol 

 

I still wouldn't have done it except for a handful of teams. Way too much money for a non QB unless you have a bonafide star QB on a rookie contract and are already on the doorstep of the Superbowl.

Remember when Gettleman yanked the tag off of Norman right before the draft and it just gutted our locker room and pretty much tanked our season before it even got started? Yeah, the timing on this move is way worse than that. This is being done basically on the eve of the season kicking off. Not only is the locker room getting shocked but now you have the coaching staff pretty much recreating their game plans. I guarantee you everyone in the organization fully expected Parsons to be there

Washington comes to mind

GB thinks they have that in Love. Maybe they do maybe they don't. We'll see how it plays out. Ultimately it's all about the results on the field in the way of wins, losses, and ultimately rings. If they win a SB in the next few years it was obviously worth it.

Underrated point. And I can definitely see the same thing happening in Dallas.

The Norman thing was so stupid. And I think (rightfully) it was the beginning of the end for Gettleman

Just looked up that he went to Washington. Damn, besides a deep playoff run last year, they are basically the opposite of what the Buffalo Bills are to us. Taking the worst former Panthers

Ummmmm Chinn and Luvuu have worked out pretty well so far

Luvu is viewed by a lot of people as a top 10 linebacker, and we said no thanks.

Dre Greenlaw is viewed by a lot of people as a top 10 linebacker, has been getting raved about in Denver camp, was a unrestricted FA looking for a starting spot, and we said "we'd rather give a backup DT more money"

Two extremely puzzling decisions considering our 32nd ranked LB core and our GM is a freaking ILB, but I guess it's possible that both really didn't want to come/stay here

Luvu said no thanks. He took less to leave.

Knee jerk reaction is gb got a great player but in actuality i have rarely if at all ever seen a trade like this work for the team giving up the pics.  Seems theres all this hype then alot of time players get these huge contracts and let their foot off thr gas and coast...khalil mak is a recent one as well as of course watson

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Matthias · Posted

      Man, we're desperate around here.  I had to look at Peppers' stats to see if I'm missing something, but no, he's an average guy at best.  Nothing impressive at all in his stats.  He's not a true safety at all, and I'm kind of annoyed with the jack of all trades players at this point.  Of course I see the PFF scores and everything, but I'm old school.  I believe the stats tell more about the player than the analytics.  This ain't moneyball here. (haha)  The best players put up numbers.  And when I look at the numbers, Peppers is just another player running around on the field.

      People see what they want.  I have also stated since the moment we drafted Bryce….a badly owned team was screwing HIM over by setting him up to fail by coach/scheme design.   Core criticism isn’t actually Bryce…it’s Carolina/front office.  I could see Bryce being good.  I could see Canales being good.  But I don’t see them as a pairing.  Football is about fit.  Board is doing what the board does.  People were idiots who dared question the All Star staff.  People raged when Fitterer was criticized.  They raged when Rhule was criticized.   Until they didn’t.
