...and every other player that is worth any money on our team...would that be enough money for Mr. JR to throw at Bill Belichick and just say...here's a 10 year contract..and a checkbook full of blank checks.....just build me a team and get me to the Superbowl?

Maybe give him his house too and tell him how the weather is nicer down here.

And what talent would Mr. Belichick work with with all those guys gun?

That is why I said blank checkbook. Let him go out and buy whoever he wants. Besides, aside from Beason...2-3 years from now...none of those guys I listed will be "the talent of the team". If those guys are still the best we have 3 years from now....we will be truly screwed.

You know how I know you fail?

when people are asking for fignewty...

People also have a hard time telling the difference between humor and seriousness.

Speaking of the Patriots....for those of you still holding out hope for this season they are doing a mighty fine job of kicking Atlanta's ass for us.

Just watching them makes me so jealous. Brilliant coach who really can turn mediocre QB's into superstars.....can win with or without his stars....can deal with any obstacles thrown his way year after year and still pull off winning seasons. An O-line that's second to none. Even freaking tapes other teams just to WIN. That's the kind of guy I want playing for me.

    • 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.
