I never saw a single post hating Berry. At worst, people thought if he wanted $12 mill he better be playing Reed/Polamalu style which means winning/changing games by themselves several times during the season and in big games. 2015 Berry was good but not 12 mill good, he was virtually indistinguishable from his tenth of a cost replacements both on the field and in the box scores except for a handful of highlight reel tackles, which while cool really only save the team a few yards vs a regular tackle or even a Donnie "Magic Jersey Ride" Edwards style takedown. I was definitely part of this camp but not die hard style. I was leaning towards Poe getting the coin and Berry sadly but smartly walking. Berry has undeniably been playing at Pola/Reed levels and at this point I'd gladly pay him the $12 mill and let Poe walk if we have to choose.
