JuanGuzman Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I thought his development last year was going to carry over to this year. Obviously the healthy scratch last week had me worried a lot. Anyway against Jax I saw him swim move into the backfield to break up a running play for a loss, after that I didn't really see him again. But I'm bad at watching line play, what were you guys opinion on his performance yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He got held really well on one play vs. the Jags, other than that I didn't notice him but I tend to not focus on the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 So-so.I think he's in his last year as a Bill. This is super unfortunate as he did show flashes of brilliance last year. He is the posterboy on why rookies should not be signed to large contacts - they should have to earn their big fat contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I remember reading he made two great plays but they weren't game changers. Still they were tackles for losses as I remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 This is super unfortunate as he did show flashes of brilliance last year. He is the posterboy on why rookies should not be signed to large contacts - they should have to earn their big fat contract. His deal is only 5 years, $8.6 million. Outside of the top 10-12, rookie contracts will hardly break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about from a salary cap stand point, I'm talking about a motivational issue. If someone gave you 8.6 million over 5 years, would you just coast through your job? You could quit after 4 or 5 years of collecting your paycheck and would be set for life without any other worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please try to take into account that most people will not sniff $8.6 million dollars in their lifetimes. I can't stop laughing. AHAHAHAHAHA..

Yoho Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Horrible logic. If he is out of the league after this year. 8.6M really isnt that much money Let's see Max. If you make $100,000/year, a nice salary, probably in the 85% percentile, you only have to work 86 years to reach McCargo's contract. Now, of course, you need to take into account the tax considerations..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Horrible logic. If he is out of the league after this year. 8.6M really isnt that much money how many lifetimes will it take you to make $8,600,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
