So Greg wants a big fat not just a no, but a hell no?
He is pretty dense, but I thought even he would be able to read between the lines.
Giving him a raise, right now, as he demands, is sight unseen. He has yet to play a down of football. This is minicamp. He cannot prove he has recovered yet. Thus, no discussion. He is under contract and he is still rehabbing.
If you cared to read anything I've said, I said I'd be against giving him a pay increase "sight unseen". It's been clearly stated in a previous post. But bumble on if you wish...
You assume that a promise was made. I won't make that kind of guess, especially since Ellis has done nothing but imply through innuendo that it has. Come out and say it. Get some courage. If you believe that strongly about it, say it. Don't mince words. Stop mumbling like a coward.
I think one of the biggest cowards I've ever seen is Simon Cowell, who happens to be your idol, apprantly. A man with no talent, who criticizes other's.
I think that Jerry actually made a comment last year in regards to meeting with Greg. However, I openly admit I could be wrong about that. Regardless, I don't think Ellis would lie about this in public - to the media.
From an owner's standpoint, wouldn't that be grounds for termination - lying to the media?
It seems you don't get the bigger picture, which is my problem with your line of thinking. You think in small details and don't care to gather all of the facts.
He will start out of merit, experience and the "respect" you claim we don't have for him. And I believe he will eventually prove to be ineffective. As I have stated several times, despite your pathetic attempts to convince everyone otherwise.
Well, someone must think highly of Greg. We just drafted a talented OLB, and you're still saying that Ellis is going to start.
I only hope that he is as "ineffective" as he was last year.
And, again, Mr. Know-it-all. No one knows until we actually see what happens.
And that's what I'm for, and incentive-laden contract that pays Greg if Greg plays well.
No, that is your asinine spin on a comment I never made. You have a very active imagination. I will give you that credit.
Asinine is saying that Greg will recover, but he won't recover. Which is basically what you said.
Is that all you have? We are not the 49ers and it is exactly two years later.
:laugh2:
So we have an infinitely better medical staff?
Again, these things you claim to know are mind-boggling.
Dually noted, I'm baffled as to what anything the 9ers do have to do with us. And the doctors in Dallas must be idiots.
Would you agree?
A broken leg. A ruptured Achilles. Different. Mongo confused? It sure sounds like it.
It's called a medical miracle. They happen. Not that Greg's recovery would be a miracle. Let's not forget, he already came back from a broken leg. And the Dallas MEDICAL STAFF is saying he'll make a COMPLETE recovery.
Again, do your research. These injuries are unique to each player; career ending to some, others not even phased after recovery period.
Who said the competition was open? It sounds to me Phillips already has his mind made up. But it is still mini-camp. And this player is already borderline hysterical because he isn't getting his head patted as he wants.
Wow, it sounds like Phillips is skeptical about this injury. I wonder why he's not concerned with names of players who have made recoveries.
Perhaps he has faith in the Dallas Medical Staff?
The reason is simple.
You cannot name a single player that fits the question I asked.
You would much rather speak in generalities, muttering on and on about general medical advances that do not apply and cite players who didn't even recover from the same sort of injury, produce and merit a new contract.
Not at all, I'd rather listen to the experts.... AKA, the Dallas Medical Staff, not some chump who thinks he is Simon Cowell from American freakin' Idol.
Give me a break - you're better suited judging the Brittany Spears' of the world.
Someone gets the difference between a raise, and a meeting.
