exactly if they refused that IMO they are GONE.. they arent even worth it regardless of how you think YOU SEE it or how it works..MARKET is not set for players OUTSIDE THE TOP 10 AT THEOIR PSOTION, THAT IS RESERVED FOR ELITE TOP 5 PLAYERS AND IF THEY TURNED DOWN TOSE ALREADY HIGH OFFERS..
I say let them ride , better start drafting because Zeke is the ONLY ONE that deserves top pay, he earned it and will continue to earn it, the others have bloated egos on how they fall just because of postion market but once again MARKET set is for NOW ELITE top 5 players, if you are outside that and get a top 5 pay offer , what the flip is the issue? its player agent issue is what it is and Id rather use them all up then and restock NOW..
If you think Dak just because hes starting QB in this league is worth MARKET top pay ie over 30 with the big boys , you are mistaken..very delusional because all dak has done is been solid above average QB and Amari played 9 games with us and got 2nd chance here but still is so far from top 5 hes also delusional like you that are being brainwashed by the term MARKET.. no not all starters get top 5 market money and deserve to be new market setters just because some teams made that mistake already.. in my eyes you earn it on the field, not by postential and no way no how does dak and Amari deserve more then 30 and 17 SORRY its not how it works or all 32 starting qbs and all 2nd tier WRs outside the top 10 would get new market setting money and the Cap would be like the MLB and NBA and thats not how it works..
i dont care about +YOUR totem pole but if you cant see the facts and stats in front of you is this repeated over and over ZEKE has been #1 in all categories since 2016 except rushing tds and hes 2 has 2 rushing titles could have had 3 in row, is not a receiving threat, and is not injury prone plays nearly every down and is YOUNG 25 even for a RB ..
therefore hes the exception to the RB rule given you pay him NOW its why the blinded fans upset about 2yrs left and hes already paid enough and hes RB doesnt apply.. pay him now, thats 4 years at 14.7 and guarantee 3, he has every chance to play at the same level for 3-4 more years as he has now..So YES hes earned being a market setter regardless of Position and current contract terms ..If im running business my star employee performing at high level and arguable best in the entire corporation will be the highest paid give what he can offer for 3-4 years and basically earn the past and future money hes demanding..Im not paying my 2nd tier , very good employees MORE just because they look around other corporations who are paying more to their employees..
the issue is with Dak and Amari and hen those wake u and realize how rediculous it is that they would not accept the current offers at near 30 and 17 it means they have bloated unrealistic views of who they are right at the moment..i get it but i dont agree i realize we will be stuck choosing between Amari and Dak limited with FT rules and if both are not signed before march 2020 they are RFAs or FAs and then we might be in pickle but that cant be Zekes problem..
Sory you wont convince me that we have to sign Dak and Amari to their ridiculous demands as they want to be paid way more then they are actually worth..Id rather roll with Zeke plus them 2 for one full year and choose to let Amari Go and Keep Dak/Amari under brand new shiny contract if they earned it , if niether does let one walk FT the other and at least you only have to replace one..
Im done debating i have my opionion and thats where we are at, ive seen teams win SBs with great d great RB and average QBs , it can work either way..not buying into a great RB never wins SBs when ive seen it just because they didnt have the RT or the Money they were still great, i mean Rothelsburger wasnt the reason they won that first SB, it was Jerome Bettis, I saw Lagerette Blount on 2 SB teams?, Marshawn Lynch, Barber with the NYG, Sproles? didnt Fournette and great D cover up Bortles 2 yrs ago to get very close to a SB?...reality's , we are more like that team with Dak and Amari , set up with Zeke as the center piece, we are not NE with TB or the Saints, who got ronbbed ,but they have 2 really good Rbs both could be like zeke if they used them like Zeke but umm they have a HOF QB and a better coach but RB not important and not needed for SB appearences or wins is bad narrative.
the real statement is this,
Teams low ball really good to great RBs monetarily and use RBBC at times but they still have to have very productive Rb1 and some accents to make it work, TEAMSNEED GREAT RBS BUT ON THE CHEAP, NOT AVERAGE RBS TO WIN..Issues are QB sare taking some huge chunk most teams are forced to low ball RBs but they are not devalued as far as their importance on team, they are simply being used up and cut and Zekes putting his Elite FOOT down..hes not havig that happen to him, i dont blame him..
