While it's true the market in Philly could've afforded a different contract..look at how they chose to spend their money (the dream team) and look at how that worked out. And no, don't see this team spending 15 mil a year on a QB.
Not convinced that losing Bowe or Berry would be as huge of a step back as losing Alex Smith would be. Smith's performance from word go, as well as his performance in the playoffs should be taken in consideration compared to what Bowe or Berry accomplished during the season. What has Berry done that's been so great? Bowe has all the talent in world, but he also has a track record of bad decisions and drops for no reason.
