Manning and Brady, that's it.

This is an EASY call.

GO TO HELL CARL.

Law and Gonzalez together don't make what LJ wants......we can out of that Law contract at any time that LJ one would strap us forever.....likely long after he's productive.

James had a shitload of miles on him and a knee injury in his past. He wasn't worth it.

LJ is...

Go ahead and talk out your ass. You don't even know how it's structured.

I "might" consider Peppers because an elite defensive end to me is highly valuable but it would be borderline after the 2 QB's.

yeah, possibly...but still, it's just QBs....in 5 years it will seem reasonable for other positions...but now, not for a RB

Mecca 04-26-2007 06:36 AM

I consider RB the most expendable and easiest replaceable position in the league.

No reason to pay this sorta contract to any RB.

I do agree but that kind of money is not far off for other positions in a few years. Hell the #1 pick is starting to get huge signing bonuses. But for right now I couldn't agree more.

but the draft is an artificial market...no one would get that as a FA...

Mecca 04-26-2007 06:43 AM

He also has the giant red flag 400 carry year.........NO RB is worth what he wants.

There's just far to many good RB's to over pay one.

I don't think its quite that easy to find a RB and plug him in. I think it's more the life span of RB's that makes huge long term contracts for them a risk that doesn't need to be taken.

You guys are friggin morons. I guess you can't remember back to the days of Donnell Bennett and Running back by committee. We now have an elite back that we actually drafted ourselves. For the next five years he will be one of the top three backs in the league every year. Anybody that doesn't want LJ as a Chief, at any price, needs to go root for another team. If we don't have LJ next year then Croyle is gonna get killed and his future will go to hell. Pay the man! It's not money from my pocket! Pay the man!
