^^ The point being, getting Murphy to 300 games isn't going to cost us finals any more than any other factor this season.
Look, I too am thinking that we should be playing to win every week, but it isnt a zero sum game here, where we play Murphy and we dont give ourselves maximum opportunity to win. we gifted games to draft picks for years, and now that we have broken Murphy beyond repair, we are wondering if we should get him to 300 games.
perhaps this is what will make the difference to getting Sam Walsh at market rate, than resigning him above market rate. We do the right things by the players, and they will do the right things by us too.
