No offence intended. But I don't see much of difference between paid to much vs over paid. The difference is being paid too much equates to earning large amount because of the system, while being overpaid equates to receiving large amounts that many feel you did not earn. Potatoe - Patatoe. I get where you are coming from now. Its splitting hairs a bit to me. Even if the system, (like where you live for a normal Job) pays people more that means, that's what it takes to get the job filled. Therefore, IMO, there is no "paid too much" in that scenario. But that's just a matter of opinion or perspective. Therefore, I didn't see a difference. You do. Which kinda opens up a whole nother discussion on who, what, or how decides if salaries are too high? Is that a local question or a global one?

One crazy villager demanded TWO bowls of gruel versus the standard one bowl a day. Oh, I got a good laugh over that one, let me tell you. 2 days on the rack staring at a bowl of gruel stopped the protests in their tracks. Its all very simple to me. PS The Kingdom will enjoy the TV rights. But they better solve the stadium problem. Do you know the revenue I make on live fans in the stands ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! No fans allowed ?!?!?!?!?!?! What sadistic doctor came up with THAT crap ? $$$$$$ A little Black Plague in the villages and everyone starts tripping out again. Plague's not new. Sheesh. Its not like we stopped the Lion's Arena last time....................................

Here's a couple of Charger-related tidbits from my news cycle-
"The COVID-19 pandemic will make rookies’ transitions more difficult, and quarterbacks will face a tough learning curve. As a result, Tyrod Taylor is expected to open the season as the Chargers‘ starting quarterback", Daniel Popper of The Athletic writes. That arrangement may continue for a while. No. 6 overall pick Justin Herbert will likely sit at least eight games, Popper predicts, noting that the Bolts are preaching patience with their first Round 1 quarterback pick in 16 years. Anthony Lynn said in early April that Taylor was the Bolts’ starter “for now.” Taylor is undoubtedly a bridge quarterback again, but this bridge may be longer than the one the Browns used to get to Baker Mayfield two years ago.
Defensive lineman Damion Square and the Chargers have expressed mutual interest about another contract, Popper notes. The Bolts originally picked up Square in 2014 and re-signed him in 2017 and ’19. The former UDFA would provide a veteran presence on a defensive line housing Pro Bowlers Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram and Linval Joseph up front but little experience behind them. Square, now 31, has seen time at defensive tackle and D-end with the Bolts. He started 11 games for the 2018 Chargers, registering three sacks that season.
The CMB is divided on whether Herbert starts sooner than later but I think the first paragraph explains the likelihood of him sitting for no other reason than the lack of a legitimate offseason/training camp cements Tyrod as the starter until an injury.
As to the second paragraph, I'm torn on adding Square. He was a decent backup player and I have no complaints about his role. But would we rather keep some of the younger D-linemen to develop instead? (Maybe they are cheaper and offer more potential?)

Huh ? What happens if he is never injured ? His ass goes around 0-4 and you'll see who's starting like real fast. Popper just has a prediction of 8 games. He knows nothing for sure. 8 is just a safe number, that's why he picked it. Halfwayish point. If its sooner, eh, he was close. Later, meh, he was close. He picked a number he can't be criticized for later. -----------NEVER doubt my exploring biases. Never. I like bold. Playing it safe is not bold. Show me something. There's only one Emperor. Love.

A lot remains. If practices start and things are relatively normal, herbert could start day one. Who knows maybe Stick starts cause Tyrod gets sick.
I have no problem with Square. I think the veteran back up is better than another UDFA or inexperienced one .

(Game 7) If the Bolts are at 4-2, we ride with Taylor. If 3-3 then there is significant pressure to play Herbert.

The difference is being paid too much equates to earning large amount because of the system, while being overpaid equates to receiving large amounts that many feel you did not earn. You are trying to be even more mental than "I think the big money should go to the executives." Its a great great effort. Close. But you are not going to top it. Well, unless I give you a week or so. Why do you feel the 'big' money should not go to the executives?

But would we rather keep some of the younger D-linemen to develop instead? (Maybe they are cheaper and offer more potential?) The timing aspect is off for all players, and to be fair, it isn't as if Taylor was getting the starter reps. So for Herbert, learning the plays can be done, and is being done as we speak. Once they are allowed on the practice field, it should be interesting to see just how quickly Herbert's talent catches up to Taylor's experience in the system. My guess is not very long......week, maybe two. Square will be all about cost and value for that cost.

I think the veteran back up is better than another UDFA or inexperienced one . every team has Squares. Solid, average, anchors a spot. They are not going Pro Bowl, just average with team scheme knowledge. They hang around for years because of it. Nothing wrong with them at all. Don't break the bank, solid enough snaps.

But would we rather keep some of the younger D-linemen to develop instead? (Maybe they are cheaper and offer more potential?) I watched Square closely in a couple of practices last training camp as he worked patiently for about 15 pre-practice minutes with Jerry Tillery going over hand placement and movement off of the snap. He's the type of vet who helps develop young guys who are learning the ropes (both on and off the field), and IMO he'll be a welcome addition to the rotation as he can fill multiple positions on the d-line.
