dfsutton Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Really? Does he throw himself the ball, also? Because that's more **** money then I'd want to pay a QB. Where is a link on this? I can't beleive this until I see it in writing by a respectable source. Edited March 14, 2012 by dfsutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roddie close your eyes.If Roddy was younger and had the same skill set I think he'd complain. I'm pretty sure Roddy knows where he stands in the NFL right now, at least according to his Top 5 WR list he gave on NFL Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfsutton Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 When great receivers are averaging 19 million a year on contracts, what will great Qbs be making? 30 mil a season? 40?I imagine Calvin never sees the last year of 2 of this contract. I can't see how you could tie up that much money in a receiver, no matter how good he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
