I totally agree, Sagan frequently makes the Tour, certainly in the last edition. But even it you were to take a hatful of stages his climbing and the fect he gets into breaks, and the fact he goes all in for intermediate sprints when the peloton are together, while the pure sprinters save themselves, just means green is a foregone conclusion. They've tweaked the rules before, when Cav was winning 4-5 stages a Tour but Hushvod was winning the green. And yes, ask Cav if he'd take 4 stage victories over green he'd say stage wins, but he'd also love to win green if he could.
And it's not so much it's boring, it's just that it's given at the start every Tour Sagan will win green if he finishes. Just a contrast to the reaction to the dominance of Froome that no-one seems to be talking about it.

I definitely see where you're coming from, but Sags animates the thing so much that it's hard to begrudge him the 'boring' feat of winning it every year. And I think for the sprinters, stage wins are more of a prize anyway.
