Lol if we drafted him you'd kiss his ass for doing such a nice gesture for his mother.  I don't see anything wrong with it. 

As a regular guy though I would never purchase a new car. There is no value in it. But I also don't have 25 mill.

Don't get me wrong, I'd buy my mom, dad, sister, brother, etc etc etc nice and expensive gifts too... but I won't be purchasing expensive items for me, going on luxurious trips to Vegas, the Maldives, or Dubai, spending it on 'premium' women, buying a vacation pad, placing investments, etc until I get a contract extension with loads of guaranteed money and possess a good second career afterwards.

I'd get a a decent/ nice house in a great location paid in full. Start a business or invest in several. Whatever that could provide me multiple incomes post NFL. Don't get me wrong I'd have nice poo too but you can't be illogical. I'd only get a mansion if I could get a bargain on land out in the country somewhere. But you also have to have the career that warrants it. If I made less than 10 million professionally I'd still be extremely conservative with my money.

I'd probably spend most of my time traveling and volunteering once I retired from a pro sport. Given I set my self up for the rest of my life.

Carolina Huddle starting this poo early this year, I see.

Buying his mom some expensive things is fine, every athlete does that. It's when he starts buying expensive thing for his aunts, uncles, cousins, and "friends" that this will become an issue.

Cam drives a dodge truck and could out spend Fournette 20 times over. Some people know how to save and some blow everything. He could have bought her a any brand of car and not had to spend 100k. Also most RBs in this league are lucky to get one payday out of there short careers.

Former LSU star running back Leonard Fournette was taken fourth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. His contract is projected to be worth $27,165,687, including a signing bonus of $17,887,563.

I think he can handle it.

yep.  Overall the people who overspend do so whether they make 30k or 3mill.  Frugal people generally are that way regardless of income to.  Obviously a frugal rich person will buy some crazy expensive stuff but big picture the element is still there.

Cam is so cheap his Christmas present to his OL is the same thing every year.  He gives them earphones he gets for free.  Kalil started a collection of unopened ones I think

Cam may drive a old truck, but I bet if his mom wanted something newer during his  rookie contract, she got it.  IMO, mom's are the exception to conservative spending.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By TN05 · Posted

      The fact you're having to rely on "rushing yards per game" (he is averaging 18, Bryce is averaging 10) here is really telling lmao. I already gave the clear advanced differences. Shough is playing worse than Bryce. You are literally gassing up a worse, 2-4 QB for a rival team and I find that incredibly funny.

      Okay so I took a look at this across a WIDE variety of overall metrics and statistical groups that should give an idea about overall play and some potential aggravating factors associated with their play.  Overall, I would say this indicates by the categories that I have detailed out that Tua and Geno are clearly the guys that are having worse seasons than Bryce. I would add that I am still of the opinion that they are better overall QB's given both capability and past performances. I will definitely concede there is not a solid statistical argument for them having a better year than Bryce, to date.  Here is the data I gathered and I have shaded the cells according to "better than" or "worse than" Bryce. In a couple of the categories, this is an inverse because I am indicating these were less aggravating situations than Bryce has had and therefore less excusable reasoning for sucking.  Let me know if there are any questions on the data/categories/etc.

      Which is why you can't ignore the 1st 2 seasons because the Saints and 9ers looked exactly like Bryce in the 1st 2 seasons.
