So you are mad because the man held out for a raise. He deserves every penny he got in his new contract. The man was only making 10 million a yr. Guys like Bradford and Russell had much bigger contracts them him.

It's not about that though.

I love Drew, wouldn't trade him EVER and I still think he is a top 3 QB in the league and will be in the HoF.

That being said, when you hold out for an insane amount of money, that at the time, could hurt your team's chances of resigning key players, miss initial practices by holding out (especially when your coach isn't going to be there and you are now pretty much the coach for your offense), etc.... Then you had better deliver when it counts.

Not saying he should be traded or that he is terrible all of a sudden, everyone has their bad days at work. However when you demand more money like that, and your turnovers are pretty assuredly the reason the team lost the last 2 games when you're in the playoff hunt, then you're going to get criticism, and I don't think it's unfair.
