Chicken Boo

I'm not convinced that this team is better than KC or Cincinnati, but I believe they can beat them and agree with the analogy.

I know a guy who was a resident of Northern VA. His tag read "F DAN". Right above it on his tailgate was Washington's old logo placed upside down. He had it for 7 years before he received a letter in the mail from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles stating that the tag was inappropriate and had to be changed. He always suspected that Dan or someone from his camp made a few calls.

As a car guy, I won't throw stones. Especially at his age.

NFL pension after 5 years includes health insurance and can cost up to $35,000 a year annually in premiums. Keep in mind that you have yet to buy a home, paid for your kids schooling or helped out mom and dad. No doubt, you can live comfortably being frugal, but it is extremely likely that you're going to be working still. In this scenario, you'd be 28 with a lot of life left to live.

For example, I'd rather pay Saquon $12-$15 million than Gabe Davis. That's fine if you want to tear it all down to find the right QB, but it isn't a justification for NOT paying the skill position player most responsible for your team's success.

Take a look at the last 15 Super Bowl winners and tell me how many of them have middling QBs.

It's definitely YOU that doesn't understand the difference between net and gross pay.

I clearly said after taxes and all expenses, especially if you have children. Taxes lop that $15 mill into almost half right off the top *and in this hypothetical, you'd be a former NFL RB. You're going to have former NFL RB knee, joint and back problems for the rest of your life. Heaven forbid you, your spouse or children get cancer or some other debilitating disease... You have to account for worst case scenarios. Cool. Now let's do QBs who make 2-4 times as much.

You don't understand, especially if you think $15 million after taxes, lawyer/agent fees, insurance and whatever other expenses your have or may come up, are guaranteed to float you and your family for life.

If you're a team that relies heavily on your star RB, then pay them. It's that simple. It disgusts me the way RBs are being treated when they take the worst beating of anyone on the field. What are the Titans, Giants, Raiders, Colts without their stud RBs, you know.. the guys that are directly tied to their success? Herbert is another whose flaws are exposed without Ekeler on the field. It's hard to win when you pay scrub QBs $40 + million per season, is more like it. Tell that to Henry, Taylor, Jacobs, Ekeler, Barkley, McCaffrey...all of whom are the key to their team's success.

You're not wrong, but it still doesn't compute for me. Josh Jacobs is 25, had 340 carries last year, 1653 yards at 4.9 a clip, and 53 receptions for another 400 yards. Add into that all that he does in pass protection. These teams want premium production for minimal wages. It's bs. Meanwhile the Tannehills and Daniel Joneses of the world are making 3-4 times their salary. Lunacy!

Gotta be hard to see Daniel Jones pocket $45 million per year on back of your hard work. I hope Saquon and Jacobs stick to their guns and hold out for as long as possible. Neither team is equipped to win without them.

It definitely did, just not more than $15 million per season. Cash is king, always.

All the way back to Vick with "DVD" (Dunn, Vick, Duckett), running QBs aid the run game. With proper play calling and design, it should make running the ball easier.

Your concerns aren't without merit. Stick to your guns. What I find funny is that every one of these guys had a 3 down, all purpose back that the offense should have ran through to ease the burden (Tomlinson being the exception). The coaching staff saw/see things differently and insisted on having these QBs attempt to carry them to the promise land and all have failed/are failing. LA should lean on Ekeler. Instead they don't want to pay him what he's worth. It's lunacy.

10th isnt bad, in my opinion. He may be a couple of positions higher, as this list is subjective. Waller can't stay healthy, so I don't put much stock in him being on the list at all. There will be a few risers this year as well. I talked about it in another thread, but keep your eye on Chigoziem Okonkwo in Tennessee. He is crazy talented!

In about every way imaginable. He was the better QB. Retired 5th all time in passing yards and TDs.

They're threatened by the language.

Phillip Rivers, who *may not get in, has more claim than Luck.

Burks is good. Okwonko is a burgeoning tight end. He is a weapon!

Burks showed flashes last year. Sum bish cost me about $60k on Draft Kings vs the Packers on the final play of the TNF game. And Chigoziem Okonkwo is for real! Yet again, the Titans are a QB away...

Haven't had CPR "training" since high school. I keep telling myself I'm going to get certified. This is good motivation to get off my ass.

The disrespect... Where on God's green Earth did you get the impression that Ray Lewis was poor in coverage? He is 6th all time in interceptions by a LB, arguably the greatest linebacker in history and I'd argue, one of the highest football IQs in league history. He also ran the 40 in 4.58. Urlacher ran a 4.57. Both are first ballot Hall of Famers. Ray was the general of the defense, but it wasn't comprised of just him. At different times, Peter Boulware, Jamie Sharper, Adalius Thomas, Suggs, Ed Reed, Chris Mccallister, the d-line...no QB is killing them at any time. Part of the reason he has 2 Super Bowl rings and was the leader of the greatest defense, statistically, in history.

His scrambling isn't the problem. He just needs to slide or get out of bounds more often. Russell Wilson is the best ever at not taking hits when scrambling. That's what I'd like to see from Josh. Save the beast mode heroics for those pivotal moments or big games.

The 2005 AFC Championship. Patriots DBs mugged Colts WRs off the line all game long, disrupting their timing. Today, there would have been flags for illegal contact, holding or outright interference if you played like that.
