Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.
I'd be interested to see if the T-shirt salesman comes back to support his argument.
You said "elite money". On average: Brady - $15.7MBrees - $20MPeyton - $19.2MRodgers - $11M (signed back in '08 - what do you think he's going to get after 2014?)As a reference:Eli - $15.3MRyan - TBAFlacco - TBAIf you think Freeman's going to get "elite money", right now... that's AT WORST $16M per season. He's not really even worth the $8.5M he'll be making next season.

He will make $2 million in salary in 2012. In 2013, he can make $5.25 million, but only $2 million is guaranteed.Translation? Flynn could get cut or traded before the rest of the contract kicks in, which means that the “big contract” may only cost Seattle $10 million in guaranteed money.Granted, you hate to pay $10 million to a guy that never takes a snap, but as Pete Carroll said in the preseason, this is the price of having a quality backup. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1381331-matt-flynn-may-never-play-quarterback-for-the-seattle-seahawks
