Kind of where I'm falling on this.  If he continues to be the 1000/1000 type guy and receiving while staying healthy, no problem with this deal.  If he's "just" a RB, we're going to regret it. 

When has he ever been “just a RB?”

Without McCaffrey, there isn’t a single player on the roster this team can promote and market. Tepper’s gotta sell tickets.

Ticket sales are a miniscule portion of the revenue and him playing well didn't help put asses in the seats last season.

David Johnson is 28 and Gurley is 25.  Age for a running back amplifies especially with the way we give him the ball.  This was so stupid and so unnecessary in todays NFL.  We held all of the cards.

And LT played until he was 32 and Emmit until he was 35. Both in a much less pass happy NFL.

"We held all the cards" is just a terrible way of negotiating. Proper negotiations should be win/win for both sides and there is no reason for them to be combative.

Unfortunately with our current PSL system, the ticket sales are practically guaranteed. What's our current "sellout" streak? We all know there's been games that were nowhere near full capacity, even with half the PSL owners selling their tickets to opposing fans.

He had 2 years left on a deal that the Players Association agreed upon.   We didnt have to do this.  Hurney gave up trump card that is the rookie deal.  Thats the entire point of it.

Then we're paying the highest running back salary every to a guy whose most productive season is behind him. Not ideal.

You must not understand how productivity is measured.  
 

why can’t his YPC or YAC go up tremendously under Rhule and Brady?  There’s a way to be more productive with less touches, you know?

Yeah, that is my point. Continuing to lose will cause people to drop PSL's. Having a great RB on a losing team isn't going to sell a lot of tickets. 

Having a great RB on a good team will.

Look at Chris Johnsons stats after his record season.  RB's fall off the cliff fast.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
