Washington messed up royally with how they handled his contract.

He's guaranteed $34 mill (franchise tag)next year as per CBA rules he's due a 44% raise. If they transition tag him it knocks it back to $28 mil. He's not signing with any team for anything less than $28 mil per year with brinks trucks full of signing bonuses.

And he's nowhere close to worth that.

Cool so that means he's a bad running back right?

From your standpoint of giving me the top 10 running backs from your stat category that means David Johnson's is not in there and Dalvin cook

I guess those guys aren't top 10 running backs right

As of now no they're not.

You have to be able to play in order to be in the top 10.

If you're injured other guys pass you by.

This is a what have you done for me lately league.

You're better than this kid.

I don't disagree but that's the position those knuckleheads in Washington have done with this.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard so just because David Johnson's injured he's not a top 10 running back

So just because he's having a bad year he's not a top 10 running back? I remember someone on this board telling me Todd Gurley was not a top 10 running back

Oh how things change

- GERBE!!!75PTS

I wouldn't call him top 10, at all.

He's had about 3 great games, and a bunch of games that were that of an average 2-down back

Sabres are 3rd to last in the league having played 2 more games than the Oilers (2nd to last)

It's been rough. There's times where they look like they know what's going on so I have faith that they'll figure it out. Just sucks in the meantime.

Not sure what's going on in Edmonton. They were a lot of people's pick to make it to the SCF in the West.

So we don't count it because he was a 4th stringer and played in 9 of 16 games.......

Got it.

- GERBE!!!75PTS

The guy had almost 700 og his 1,272 yards last year in 3 games

He put up like 650 yards in the 9 other games he started

Edit- and he played 15 games. So around 650 in 12 games with 9 starts

Is he playing right now?

NO


Then he's not doing squat.

You have to play in order to make claims. Can't do that from the sidelines with a limp wrist.

He's worth what the market will pay him.

Ok, I can't say that with a straight face. Osweiler contract 2.0

Gerbe's NFL trade deadline philosophy ("Give me established pros over draft picks") is 180 degree opposite of his NHL trade deadline philosophy ("Give me picks picks more picks").

Sure is it's a league where you can draft pro bowl running backs in the 4th and 5th round.

Been that way for a long time now too.

You are making a point that is frivolous.

A top 10 RB in the league right now is a player that is producing on the field. That's how stats work.

It seems like you're talking about a consensus pick for top 10 RBs in the league.

That doesn't matter.
