The key was Smith not acting like a love sick puppy & letting the FA define when a deal will or will not be done, thereby missing out on the other quality FAs.
basically I'm agreeing with you, just augmenting your point. (msr & all that)

Something Witty !
Yep ... Rick read his Consumer Reports .
He is.
But Eli got rushed, hit, smaked, & sacked more often than Brady did. The Giants pass rush let me down.... till the end of the game.
New England doesn't have the pass rushers the Giants have & they made Eli work for that Super Bowl.
But I do get, & agree, with your point.
...and yet some want to let MW go elsewhere....
if he leaves - no matter why - we better draft his replacement in the first 3 picks.
What doesn't make sense.... these draft guys know that losing Mario creates a big need @ outside pass rusher
Truth is we'll be looking for an outside pass-rusher in FA as well, & the top pass rusher in FA will be off limits. We'll be trying to replace Mario with players we know aren't as good.

Both those guys are great. But I don't see them as Mario's replacement. Mario, Barwin, Reed..... that's a good rotation.
Barwin, Reed, Nading..... is not.
If I thought Barwin or Reed were going to play like CM III in 2012 I can kind of see your argument. But I don't. We need to draft a Von Miller type prospect..... a CM III kind of guy... a Harrison.... a beast coming off the edge.
Or just resign Mario.
Before we get to the Mario is not "those guys" argument, look at CM III's numbers this year, with no help. That's where Mario has been. No help on the line (Barwin got hurt last year) & no help in the secondary (we got our first coverage sack in the MW era in 2011).
I have seen several people indicate wanting Griffin or Luck or even Manning.
But the difference is that those are far fetched if not impossible scenarios. Grabbing Curry is verrrrry doable..
I don't agree with OLB in the first, I'm just sayin...
If these two are good, how come having all three isn't better??
Let me ask another way (and I know this is tough, but try to take relative salaries out of your decision-making); if Mario returns do you think either of these guys would start ahead of him?
Man, the three of them in a OLB rotation! Wade would be drooling - no - probably IS drooling at the havok they will wreak from week to week.
I know I am.
Great
Another thread turning into a keep/dont keep Mario thread.
I wouldn't keep MW except under the right $$$$. But if BoB/Rick/Wade decide to keep MW I'm OK with it. I trust Wades judgement. I hope if they let MW walk the pro MW crowd will trust Wades judgement and let it go. (Wont happen LOL)
