No RB will ever get paid again

[J12B]

Thanks to Zeke.

And by paid, I mean get a massive 2nd contract after his rookie deal.

He's proven that all that truly matters in an effective running attack is that a top offensive line is needed.

What an overreaction of a thread.

They said the same thing after Gurly signed his deal.....

 

[Cas2800]

Don't forget Gurley too.

 

[DallasDomination]

I actually agree.. if another rb holds out the team will just let them.

Zeke is proving that a bell cow rb even a young 24 year old can get broken down before the 2nd contract.

 

[JoeKing]

I couldn't agree more with the OP.

 

[ksadler1]

Well, at least the Jones' hopefully learned their lesson...

Analytics data already told NFL front office folks all they needed to know. Backs age fast, burn out with heavy loads, and are typically poor investments beyond their rookie contracts. Good running backs are also easier to find than other positions.

But the Rams and then the Cowboys caved and gave out big contracts to Zeke and Gurley. The narrative of these two contracts should put the exclamation point next to the previously known data. DON'T PAY BIG MONEY to a running back.

I agree. Teams will take the Chargers/Gordon route in the future.

You have a disgruntled RB wanting to hold out for a big payday?

Cool. Let him sit. And once he's at risk of losing credit of playing the season, he'll come crawling back to the team - without that big payday.

Even the best RBs are replaceable. No need to give them $90 million. Too bad nobody told Jerry that.

Who didn’t see this coming?

How did we learn NOTHING from what happened to DeMarco Murray after Philly paid him?

 

[Aviano90]

Gurley, Zeke, and Bell have pretty much shown why you don't pay big money to RBs.

 

[jwooten15]

The idea that RBs don't get paid is not novel or new. It's been established for going on 20 years.

If you want to get that big contract $$$, young players should try to become WR or obviously QB.

LOL

Wait till CMC, Cook, Kamara and Saquon all sit out or get deals this offseason.

When it comes to sound football decisions, Jerry is often at the back of the pack.

Typical troll thread.

None of those 3 RB's are top 5 in any major stat (TD, YPC, Rushing yards).

Will be interesting too see what happens with CMC or Barkley (will they get big money deals and perform, will the teams give them the franchise tag run around, will they get paid then drop in performance).

Exactly

Like the panthers can go without CMC and the Giants without Saquon wouldn’t resemble a professional offense

2018 first 10 games 194 att 953 yards
2019 first 10 games 191 att 833 yards

He is a couple big games away from being where he was last year.

When it comes to trolling, you are the resident expert. I think you only come here to insult other members and offer next to no logical insight. It gets so old.

Like, why post what you just did? It makes no sense. If you don't agree with it, give constructive reasoning for your opinion. That, or just ignore it and move on.

RB’s will get paid
Right or wrong they will in the future
If not by their team then by another
You can make a good case for not paying them but they will get paid when they are elite backs
Just wait to a giants RB is up for a deal
The idea that he won’t get paid elite money and more than zeke is just a fantasy
Some team will pay him
