I want RBs to get their money, but they get hurt a lot! It's easy for ppl to say what's right when they ain't paying millions..

Week 2 here and Ekeler is out..

More to come as the season goes on..

Week 1, snap number 4, and Rodgers is out for the season.

It happens. Got players hurt who haven't took one snap and they are also not RBs. But, RBs wear & tear quick! Once again, I want them to get their $$, but I have to see it from the other side as well..

The talent pool at RB is also very deep. There's a lot of factors playing against these guys getting paid.


The Quarterback position is the number one factor. How many times is the pay cieling going to be raised for mediocre QBs. The players need to come together and demand some of that money gets spread around. Versus QBs taking up all the extra money every time the cap is increased. Owners need to put their foot down too. If your QB hasnt done half of what Mahomes has,why is he getting more pay just because hes "next man up:mjgrin:"? When DTs wanted more money all everybody can do is say "why he asking for that,he aint Aaron Donald:damn:".


But when it comes to QBs folks act like its normal to pay mid qbs like they the best or even top 3 in their position:mjlol:

Why do some people think that it’s about what one deserves. These are ultra capitalist entertainers making 10s or 100s of millions. You deserve whatever you can negotiate

Its called extortion in most cases more than a negotiation. Its why QBs create this unwritten rule where they are sensitive to handle you drafting a QB in round 1 or 2 behind them. They basically tell owners that drafting a QB at 1 could hurt their confidence and effect their play. And these stupid ass owners actually buy that nonsense:mjlol:


Its alot easier to negotiate when you forbid teams to bring in competetion. My point is smart owners need to put their foot down. If great qbs are rare im collecting qbs in every draft in round 1 or 2. fukk what my underwhelming starting QB talking about:heh:


No other position is coddled in such a way,and now its hurting other players money. Players need to put their foot down too.

With what you having to pay number 1 receivers now, any team with one and a half decent QB about to be paying 100 million for two players

Cowboys about to have Dak, Ceedee, some old dudes on they way out the league, some 5th round picks, and some UDFA's.

The receiver market will crash I think.After none if these teams that pay one win a ship.

His agent needs to go into the HOF. Soon as he signed that contract his knees turned into confetti
He had a bad ACL tear in college, pretty sure the book was out that he wasn't gonna have a long career and he had some arthritis already in that knee during the draft process.

It's crazy that Gurley's only gonna turn 30 during this year's training camp.
