ZN mentioned Brady and Bilicheck. Of course a lot depends on them. My point wasn't to negate that fact. I was pointing out exactly what you are. It's a team game and if a QB doest remember that, as Brady obviously did, then that's a few less excellent other players that the team can use, which just could make the difference.
It would have made no material difference whatsoever if Brady had "remembered that" or not.
That is, yes, we fans are always demanding that players play for less. We never want them to earn what they can earn in the NFL market.
So it's nice to invent the myth that they won because Brady took less, and use it to put other players in a bad light.
I don't think there's anything to it.
