It's not a difficult concept: you should play to the level of your salary, especially on your 2nd or 3rd contract. If you're paid as if you're a top tier CB and you don't perform to that level then either A. You are underachieving or B. Your coaches are misusing you. From what I saw of Tampa this year it seemed like a bit of both. But yes, because of his salary he is held to a higher standard and bears more responsiblity for the team.
And obviously the same is true with Manning. He is the most important player on the Broncos. That's just a fact. He was awful last night and bears a great deal of the responsibility for the loss. Is the only one? Of course not! But he's probably #1 on the list.
And look back at his career. He just hasn't played well in enough big games and save the last few years in Indy he's always had stacked rosters at the skill positions. The o-lines have been more up and down, but overall they've been good enough.
