Number crunching is an unavoidable part of the offseason. After all, these are professional athletes, and we do need to pay them. In case you hadn't realized it, Jacquizz Rodgers' salary will more than double in 2014.

The first half of Quizz's 2013 was better than the latter half. He graded out positively in 6 of his first 8 games. His only negative grade came in week 9, and that was due to his mistakes as a pass blocker (he allowed 2 quarterback hurries). But he did log 441 offensive snaps, and [spoiler alert] that's a lot.
The great thing about Quizz is his versatility. Even when he's not getting it done in the running game, he's still a receiving threat. You just can't understate the value in that.
