Dmeade- Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 No teams win games as a whole. That doesn't mean we do not pay our underpaid superstar and only proven playmaker on the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenIsLegend Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 No teams win games as a whole. That doesn't mean we do not pay our underpaid superstar and only proven playmaker on the team. It means we pay him fair market value, not what his inflated ego from a former regime believes.

CMJ Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I don't mind seeing the man become the highest paid RB, but not paid at the playmaker level that he is asking. The Titans won't budge on that. Hell, CJ would still be getting a substantial raise. Nothing to sneeze at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmeade- Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 His fair market value is top RB money, which is between 10-12 million annually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twig Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I dont think any of you read the whole thing. Its saying dont pay him at all. Trade him. Running backs have very little to do withwinning games. He even ends the article with letting cj go and put that money into Oline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 The author fails to recognize CJ's numbers would have been better if we didn't have a bottom tier QB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmeade- Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 He has a lot of numbers amd data to back up his point. You have thats stupid. 1st he is getting paid to write an article while I am not. Second all the stats have been comprised and argued on multiple threads probably reaching the 60+ page mark. 3rd the majority of this board is not arguing that CJ should be not paid, only he shouldn't be paid a ridiculous amount of money.

T-RAC Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 These sorts of statistical analyses are of limited use in a game with so many variables. This is why football results are so unpredictable despite so much money being at stake. CJ produces points and creates mismatches. You'd rather have him than not. The best argument for limiting the investment in CJ is not his production but the limited and highly variable longevity of NFL RBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMJ Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 The article basically assumes CJ won't budge from his "playmaker money" demand, so the Titans should trade him. CJ will compromise and get his $11-12 a year. I'd be fine with that in order to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
