But should we really applaud consistently sucking? Really?

Well I DO like our coaching staff

what does he lose for missing the preseason opener?. That doesn't count as a game check I'm assuming?

I'm going!

Just so I get this straight. You can get upset that we haven't paid him more, which is in itself irrelevant. But when people get annoyed that he isn't at work, you tell them to calm down? Employ some consistency. Does he deserve more money? Sure. Is he at work? No. One thing is certain, fans are excited about this team now and as such are more likely yo side with the FO because they dont want anyone screwing up the season. bad time for a holdout. I wonder how much his jersey sales will decline?

Thanks SDS, I love it!

I was thinking about the olden days and I remembered that some of our guys got fined for wearing Spiderman long sleeves under their uniform, violating league rules. Anyone know where they got them? I can remember Talley and Biscuit did it, but I thought there were a few more. Anyone else remember this?

Aren't there rules against crusades on this board? This is at LEAST to 20th post I've seen you try and get people to join with you in ripping the front office. You bore me.

Top 5, I agree. But he has THREE YEARS LEFT on his contract. What kind of leverage does he think he has? I won't play for you? It's not like he's going to become an UFA. Plus, if he doesn't report he's stuck here for an extra year or 2. The FO doesn't HAVE to trade him OR extend him. At least if he came to camp he would garner good will, which would make the FO WANT him around.

Andre ALL DAY

The point is that the only 3 big name players holding out all happen to be his clients, I could give a fig about his rookie signing.

I'm tired of hearing players are underpaid. When players like Kelsay get big contracts and then underperform management doesn't get to renegotiate and recoup the money they overspent. Similarly, if every player on the team were paid exactly what they were worth, every team in the NFL would be way over the salary cap or else mediocre. This is a free market and players get paid according to their perceived value and the contracts they sign. Jason could have waited another year to renegotiate after securing a starting position and then cashed in on his pro bowl card. But no, he renegotiated when he held less value. Tough schitt. He wants a new contract, fine. But go do your damn job and ask for the new deal quietly.

Our family is so proud that John is is really coming into his own now that Sean Salisbury is no longer there to berate and belittle him. Sincerely, The Crypt Keeper

Correction noted. I defer to the kind bud.

I saw this post and just KNEW it had to be a joke. When I saw this joker was serious, my head almost exploded! :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

Ju-ju? My gf says that and it's from Grey's Anatomy. Are you kidding me?

how did this thread get hijacked? Why did he retire?

So........ 3-13?

That's it, pay the man. Nevermind the fact he is coming off surgery and NO one has seen him on the field after the surgery. Let's pay him eleventy billion dollars a season, cause it's not us paying his salary. I wouldn't waste a cent on Peters until he shows 1- he is healthy and can play at the same level and 2- he's not an ingrate like Willis. Why do I compare the 2? Because we took a huge chance on Willis, giving him good money, let him sit out a year and he turns around and takes a dump on the city. Peters signed as an UDFA TE, was taught how to play tackle and developed into a good player, then EXTENDED to reward him when he performed well. I have nothing against a new contract for him, but he should show some class and show up to camp for the team that turned him into what he is. And don't bother to tell me he would have done the same anywhere else, cause there's not another team in the league who had a good O-Line coach to teach him technique AND would have bothered to give him more than a look at playing LT.

Well I mean he has the physical ability to walk and raise his arms. Two VERY clutch attributes for a DT, so that was a big compliment.

<1.5? are you drunk? He's 10x the player Kelsay is and they gave Kelsay the moon. They'll re-sign him for just under 3ish

Could JP put on enough weight to fill in? That way he could at least get on the field.

Senator's remarks are most likely shared by a number of posters on this board, though their POV was terribly represented in his sophomoric post. Fact is, Peters is inviting criticism and losing fans for the way he is handling this situation. He was signed as an UFA, taught a position that he knew nothing about and trusted enough to be put in a situation where he could play. When he played well, he was rewarded with an extension. Now, instead of participating in mandatory activities as required by his contract he is huffing and puffing about a new contract, yet the FO claims they were blindsided by this. He seems to be getting some bad advice from his agent. I don't care how good you are, if the fans dislike you, you're going to lose in the end. TO is arguably the best WR in the league, yet he makes virtually no money in endorsements. Why? Because people can't stand the sight of him. Peters would be well advised to report to camp and negotiate instead of whining and pouting in the corner.

I am ready for the season to start so that posts like Ish's above can actually be made with some kind of basis rather than flagrant bias and ignorance.

Agreed. You don't want your best player to get injured in a meaningless preseason game. We should just let JP play all 4 quarters of every game
