Oh ok. At least you aren't in denial like some coaches I won't name that think our RBBC "as is" will get us anywhere this season.

I dislike all our RBs...I am an equal opportunity hater. Or at least equally disappointed. I was just laughing that some kid who isn't making a star salary is already blowing his wad... nothing to do with his play b/c frankly I know not a dan m thing about his play....

Ok. Let me approach it this way... Unless you have any idea when he purchased that car, you truly have no ground to say he blew his wad. He may have purchased it when he was drafted so I guess if you consider the fact that perhaps he did what many newly anointed thousansaires do when they enter the pro rank as blowing a wad then so be it. You have no idea how that car was acquired. Maybe his parents are rich. Perhaps he has a low level endorsement deal. Perhaps it's leased.....

That was the first thing I thought. He can't be makin enough money to justify the purchase of a Bentley. I seriously hope h bought it on the secondary market at a deeply discounted price. either way, I expect he will be another rag to riches NFL payer story in the near future.

Bentleys don't cost that much, relative to an NFL minimum contract.

I can't help but wonder what his wife had to say when she found out he was in trouble for taking inappropriate pics with a Christine Michael.

Why did this make me chuckle in bed at 11pm? My wife just looked at me like I was crazy.

I wanna know how the cop knew who he was. I follow this team as much as anybody and I couldn't point C Mike out if I had to.

From what I have gathered thus far, he's your standard flamboyant A type personality. Good for the RB position and apparently ok in the personal life too since his nose has remained clean. I'm sure he quickly came up with some crafty way of getting the message across. If he didn't have some sort of personalized license plate, he probably slyly slid his NFL players card to the trooper with his license & registration.

I was too. As soon as I saw it I said that's not going to end good. Cops can't take pics. Kinda crazy if you ask me.. Guess that's why I don't make the rules.

Y'all are funny. His contract is worth 3.4mill and about a mill guaranteed. He makes over 800k a year. A Bentley runs about 180k or whatever and that's brand new. You realize people making way less than him own these same vehicles.

It does when you consider the average NFL career is only 3 years and you were just traded for a conditional 7th round pick. Considering his net worth is only $2mm his annual salary is only $780k before agent fees, accounting fees, and taxes, that really doesn't justify driving a $250k car (that is losing value every day). He is one blown knee in a contract year away from being out of the NFL. I also suspect that if he spent that much on a car, he over spent on his house and spent significant money on other non-investment grade items as well.

He is in year 3 of a 4 year 3.4M contract.

Bentley's start at 180K.

The car is probably a lease anyways. I don't really care what he drives though. Also, quite a few players get loaner cars to drive around in on the house. I don't think CM is at that level, but who knows.

I will say this.....I seriously doubt that he drove it from Seattle :D
