I get that. It doesn't take long for a RB to get in FB shape. CJ was not in shape at all. He was completely not ready to be on a FB field.

I would lock him down to a favorable 3 yr deal or try to trade him.

Interesting. I would love to hear why some guys decided not to show.

I wouldn't compare RR and and CJ. Chris proved that he has a lazy streak in him. RR is a gym rat and always stays in great shape.

And that has what to do with him being in good health during the season? Also what does that have to do with him being pushed around on the field.

He was not good last yr. He was getting pushed around last yr. During his rookie yr he could stone an OL with 1 arm.

He left about 15 mil on the table by not going to FA. Tajada was all happy when he first got here and finally wanted out because the losing got to him.

So he is healthy. What time is it. He could be hurt in an hr.

This was done with baling wire and duct tape. I wonder if Jones will regret signing by next yr.

That is what bankrupcy is for.

I was just waiting for the to start.

Same info Max had. He lost weight and wa spushed around. Now he is putting on mussle mass. Time will tell if he can be successful.

45 lbs in 3 yrs is not unreasonable. Also I would wager roid use in the NFL is at least 20% and that is conservative.

Yep.

No doubt. He has wasted so much cash. Unless he has other income he is done.

They aren't always in the know. I do remember a guy from a few yrs ago that they didn't know had issues. It was known by everyone on campus but the Bengals didn't have anyone to ask. Also this is from something that happened when he was 18. According to the team he has not been in trouble since then. IF it is a youthful screwup and he is on the street in about 7 months they have him for 2013.

I am not going right or wrong just looking at the business of the game.

So again the bengals still do not have the scouts to perform the due diligence required. Also he is an udfa so he doesn't cost anything.

Pretty amazing.

It is something like 80% are broke in 5 yrs. I thought Jamal was smarter. It looked like he was getting ready for post playing.

That is the reasoning I have with the young wr's the ravens have. Many fans want discard them already.

The NL owners can't can't give hitters long term deals because they can't play the field when they get older like Barry Bonds. So the AL where they don't have to play the field when they get old can go long term. So the NL can ge the farm system for the AL. The NL owners can always let hometown heros leave and make their fan bases unhappy.
