Slimmed-down Chiefs safety Eric Berry starred in 2015, setting up next payday Read m

Slimmed-down #Chiefs safety Eric Berry starred in 2015, setting up next payday: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...#storylink=cpy … So, kind of puts to rest the box safety only talk and whether he's worth it, if you follow Louis Riddick. |

If your mom played safety for the chiefs, it would be comparable.
What he is as a man adds value to him as a football player, because it effects others around him. |

It's quite sad and pathetic that emotional attachment plays such a large factor into assessing players on this site. I remember once someone arguing that DJ was better than Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis and that the ILB position is overrated anyways. Stupidity has no limits for many

I don't care so much about Pro Bowl and All-Pro accolades because they aren't really all that meaningful in the grand scheme. Sure, they look good on a HOF ballot, but the reality is that they are a popularity contest more than anything. There were several safeties this year that were as good as Eric Berry. I look at Reshad Jones, Marcus Gilchrist, Malcolm Jenkins, Mike Mitchell, Reggie Nelson, Walter Thurmond, Charles Woodson, Mike Adams, Damarious Randall, and so forth and those are some good football players putting up the same type of contribution as Eric Berry. Let's take Randall out because he was a rookie. You look at the rest of those guys and Jones makes 7 per, Gilchrist makes 5.5 per, Jenkins at 5.2 per, Mitchell at 5.0 per, Nelson at 4.5 per, and so on. You start to think, do you need to invest Devin McCourty, Earl Thomas, Jairus Byrd money to get that level of production? You look at Jones and Nelson, those might have been your best two safeties in the NFL in 2015. |

Pretty sure there wasn't a player that improved from 2014 with Berry around, so this subjective measure to boost his pay is a bunch of crap

Sorry O, I do disagree. All-Pro is voted on by the Associated Press, Pro Football Writers of America, and the Sporting News last I checked. I don't consider media personalities the official authority on how good a football player is. That's my personal opinion though.
Edit: To be clear, I'd consider you to have a better viewpoint on player skill than those clowns. |

I've been an advocate supporter of Berry coming back, I figured something similar to his current (large) contract. But 12 million? If that's the case I'd just franchise tag him for a year then let him walk.

I dint think there's any way he gets 12 million anywhere. That's what, 2 million higher than the highest paid safety
