  1. Bruce Smith may have been a "me first" kind of guy, BUT, having said he was the best and should be paid like the best, HE BACKED IT UP AND EARNED EVERY PENNY ON SUNDAYS.

    Bruce Smith didn't quit mid-contract, he continued to perform and subsequently was paid.

     

    Jason Peters stopped working, allowing his body and attunement with the offense to deteriorate, thus reducing his value to the team. The team watched substandard performances for half a season, (he couldn't even crack the line up in the early season if I recall) culminating in a game-ending play against the Jets where he wiffed on a defensive back that he should have destroyed allowing a sack/fumble/6 on his QB turning a win into a loss. Having not self-evaluated his play for 2008 and recognizing a problem, he again held out, compounding his deterioration for the 2009 season upcoming. Buffalo saw 2008 again and fortunately traded him while the iron was still hot from outstanding performances in 2006-07. Buffalo reaped decent picks from a dead weight who made the choice not to continue bettering himself and maintaining his value.

     

    If any of us quit performing at our jobs instead of proving our value to the organization (even though we may be underpaid) guess what would happen? It's the same in the NFL for the most part and most times players ARE rewarded for becoming outstanding unlike real life, unfortunately. Jason Peters made the choice to quit, the Bills, having intimate knowledge of the guy and the situation, made the right call.

  2. The defense should be exciting as well! If they can get Mario off the field on passing downs and get Justin Rogers out there the speed will be ridiculous.

    Mario OFF the field on passing downs? Am I missing something??
  3. If CJ leads the league in rushing, Fred Jackson won't be doing anything, especially not comeback player of the year. Oh, they usually give that award out to GOOD players. Like Peterson, Manning, Brees.

    Freddy was 40% of one of the highest producing offenses in the NFL and was leading in yards from scrimmage before he got hurt two years ago.............but I guess he isn't any good : /
