Mojo holding out

Hah. I can sorta understand players in CJ2K's position last year, guys on their rookie contract (which is usually slotted into a comparably tight window of wiggle room) who far outplay their pay holding out. To me, it's no different than a team cutting a player under contract. But Jones-Drew has already negotiated his second contract. That was his fair opportunity. I understand the RB age wall, and he sees his chance at big money slipping away, but he has his chance. Second contracts are when the money is made, if his agent didn't get him the big money on his second contract that's his fault for using that agent. So no sympathy from me for Jones-Drew.

    • You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out. 
    • So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB. 
    • All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
