It's my Country, Flag, Bible, Gun. Don't try it !
So were the Jets then not relevant when they made it to the final 4 teams twice with Sanchez as their starter?
Right now we have no clue what will happen with Talib. 1) The police report does not support what you are saying here. The official police report says that Talib was the victim in a shooting and the shooter is unknown and at large. So if that is the case then Talib only being a victim I can't see how the league can suspend somebody just for getting shot. And also if it is the case that somebody else shot him then this is nowhere near the same case as Plaxico. Beyond that Plaxico shot himself in New York where gun laws are very strict compared to Talib in Texas where they are some of the most relaxed in the country. So very different sitautions.
Next 1) Miller did not turn down the $114 million. He disagreed with the guaranteed money side of the deal not the length or overall value. He has agreed to that part at this time. Mostly the deal is coming down to whether the first 2 years or first 3 years are fully guaranteed for the deal. 2) He is not threatening to sit out a year. Every year we hear that being a threat and nobody has done it. Throw in the two sides have stayed very respectful and from the sound of today's news are actually still meeting today to try and get something done.
Let's move onto the whole big contract destroying the team thing. Couple of differences here. 1) Von Miller is a Super Star compared to Joe Flacco who most don't even believe is a top-10 QB in this league. So average player compared to Super Star. 2) Broncos don't have a huge cap hit coming from the QB position so they can afford plenty. It is why they have the most cap space in the league next year. IF we signed Miller and Osweiler yeah I would agree with you the team would be in trouble down the road cap wise but with Lynch under a very team friendly deal they can afford Miller and still surround the team with talent. So no it is not a double standard. Very different situations with different level of players.
Man you really need to wake up and smell the coffee....Talib has told 2 different stories, the last one being that he shot himself.....
And Miller would not sign the Broncos offer of 114 mil so they took it off the table...Now he can take the tag for 14 mil this yr or sit out the yr....
That's where it's at right now...
And you just lost all credibility with me, if you are so homer infected that you can actually try to defend your big contract statement and try to say Miller is a super star and Joe is not...That's ludicrous in and of itself, but beyond that, it doesn't change the cap effect on the team....
You said it, it was stupid, and you own it !!!!
