maybe little faith in the team?

maybe little faith in the coach?

maybe he just didn't want to be here anymore?

maybe he wanted some attention?

maybe he just wanted a change of scenery?

doesn't matter. he's here and getting $1mil/game and we got to deal with it.

Yea, but they didn't predate Jakes choke in Seattle in the NFC champ game. Other than that 3 game start he had last year before getting hurt, he really hasn't been worth a crap since that game. I knew we were screwed in that game when they showed Delhomme on Fox before the game and he looked like a deer in headlights.

jake choked in that game?

i'm not a jake supporter...and not really a hater, but even i know that that game wasn't jake's fault...and it started with having a 4th string RB as your main ball carrier, then no receiving threat whatsoever outside of steve smith.

it's easy to lose a game when your only option is to throw the ball and hope someone on your team catches it.

Jake's "choke" in the championship game in Seattle came after dominating performances on the road in New York and Chicago, and when our starting running back, who was our third string back, got knocked out early in the game. Only a hardcore hater would pin any blame on Jake for that game, much less judge the season by it.

Peppers issues don't have anything to do with Jake, that's just a stupid idea. You people need to go outside stop thinking about football for a while.

    • People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.
    • Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year 
    • I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.
