Message: [QUOTE="M.B.88, post: 3100112, member: 8473"] This whole mantra of "we cannot judge a player on what they've done as every year is a fresh start" is complete bullshit. You don't pay the guy week to week a salary based on how well he played last week... Every game in your career matters and is marked against you for the life your career. Otherwise why sign players to big contracts or lure guys away for overs.. Everything a player does, every game, matters - always. If you want to argue that all players are signed on potential and potential alone then you could never monetize their value. Everything has to be filtered through a calculative risk matrix. You sign a guy to big money because he's proven himself to be something at some point in time whether that be in proven first grade or shown great signs in early development years to warrant locking down as a rookie (ponga or Haas). You are still signing them of what they've proven they can do. So when accounting for the fact that contracts are established based on probability of "what they can achieve on field", we have to take the same in regards to selections. You have to always judge a player on what they've done and shown through their ability and virtues. I'd say based on Boyd's previous form, loss of ability and compete lack of effort in games, he is at extremely high risk of causing future erosion to any fortified culture the coach gains in this here preseason. Having him anywhere near the best fit 17 is an assault on the club and the career trajectories of our young up and comers. He's an influence. And not a good one [/QUOTE]
