    I think the closest comparison to Demski is Begelton, both are tough, elusive and good at accumulating YAC.

    We just came through a season where our highest paid receiver was (by and large) not a factor in our 16-2 record. And he had a lingering hip injury. And his salary was comparable to the guy we got for him.
    Makes sense from our perspective. With Ceresna in, I suppose this means that either or both of Oakman or Hendrix won't be back.
    I wish KGJ a prosperous reunion with MBT.

    Jets weren’t awful. The second period was but 1st and 3rd were good. That Philly goalie made multiple ridiculous saves. Props to him. Honestly I think most nights we win that game. Errson was that much of a difference  and it was apparent tho that the jets need a break. 9 games in 15 nights. 8-1 in that stretch. I’ll take it.

    Not sustainable if the QB is garbage yes.  And you can’t draft and develop linemen.  And you overpay a bunch of free agents without being able to backfill your roster.  Yes.
     
    Collaros deal is fine.  The SMS limit is higher and he’s making over 100k less than those guys were.
    The only way you do anything with his deal is if you’re willing to trade or release him.

    I have family in that line of work.  Many try it due to the $$, and many can't hack it.

    Trust me, even just doing wellsite stuff in Alberta with the ability to go home every few weeks is soul crushing. I wasn't even on the rig floor,  I did the white collar stuff. Yeah the money is good (or at least was) but it's a pretty awful existence. I am much happier earning less doing what I do now knowing I get to go home every night.

    Same, the mental aspect of that kind of isolated, dangerous work can be just as taxing as the physicality. 
     
    Back to topic, yeah the amount of time spent working out, dealing with nutrition, training, film study.
    Todays players probably get as much or less legit time off as any of us who have been at our jobs most of our adult lives.

    It's not 6 months work when you factor in that they have to work out every single day, 12 months of the year to be in football shape. Hasn't been a part time job in many many years. Factor in that your career can be over in a heartbeat in this rough sport, and they should be getting every penny they can.

    As the years go by and the average fan is more tech savy,   more people will just use the already easy to use streams that people post online.

    It's the one position where you can't cheap out.  You can slide lesser talent in here and there at other positions, but not at QB
