Grave Digger, comment?

Or the Iowa fans.

Hard to believe but his contract would rank 70th in MLB, the guarantee part that is.

Finally Wisconsin fans have something to brag about!  JJwattSD must be so proud, the love of his life having so much success!

 

Maybe the people of Houston will make JJ the grand marshal of the gay pride parade instead of just a participant...

Really glad he and Clowney are not in the NFC or our division. As I'm sure is too.

The one thing I wonder is when teams lock players up to these long 6+ year contracts at age 23-25, how soon before they start whining that they have already outplayed it?

 

I don't recall who the OL was in Dallas but he just signed a ridiculously long contract in the offseason thanks to Jerruh who locked him up something like 8-9 years. Who the hell in their right mind would sign that?

 

TT and Russ Ball are pretty savy about these deals. At 25, they usually do 4 year deals and allow the player to cash in again at age 29. I fully realize JJ Watt is a unique player but I wonder how soon before his deal is up will it be undervalued and players far less superior to him will sign contracts that make his look like a bargain.

Run from it all you want, but this is easily your dummest take ever.  Your second dummest take was how Russell Favre/Seneca Wilson would be a stiff, but we'll save that for another day.

Iowacheese thinks you should stop being such a Sconnie leg-humper.

NOT A FIT FOR THE 3-4!!!

I think we need to define "leg-humper" before we can continue this conversation. 

It's the chamomile tea?!??! You wanna take a nap?!?!?!?

Think of Jaymo, the ultimate leg humper.  He's the prototype.  

There it is. Too easy to get a rise out of Sconnie fans. The most sensitive fans in college football. And for the record, I think believing Levi Brown was a better pick that Joe Thomas was my dumbest take ever. I maintained that I thought JJ Watt was a very good player, I just thought he was better suited for 4-3 than the 3-4...I think I even compared him to Julius Peppers. Not sure why that's an insult. It's okay though, I understand your Badger blood won't allow you to not be offended if someone doesn't worship your players. 

No rise, just pointing out your utter stupidity with that take.  Nice strawman, though.  You must be in really good shape from moving those goalposts around so quickly and easily.  

 

My dummest take ever was that Ryan Grant reminded me of Emmitt Smith in the hours after he ran for 200+ against Seattle in the playoffs, but I blame beer and temporary insanity for that.

 

Regardless, that looks like the theory of relativity compared to the Watt idiocy.  Just own your dumbass take and move on.  

 

Until then, your new name from me is GraveDiggermo.  

I think what is most impressive is his ability to elevate the play of those around him just look at the record of the Texans last year and since he has been there a true difference maker

The Church of the Holy Watt strikes again. JJ will smite me if I insult him with compliments again! 

Oh no you didn't.

 

Typical Carimi classic pose. Sitting on the Jamal Reynolds memorial bench. Note the body lean:

 

This guy elevated a whole lot of his teammates. After watching him play they all thought they were worth JJ Watt money.

 

Yep, I said that.  I was an idiot.  I also thought Carimi would be a good pro, but that was also a dum take.  Just not as dum as the Ryan Grant take.  

 

We all have them - some more often than others.  

 

It only makes it worse when you  though.

Watt is one of the 5 best defensive players in football. (Sherman, Earl Thomas, Quinn, Willis, Watt) Can make an argument Luke Kuechly is better than Willis.

 

Still, that's too much scratch to pay a defensive player. 

 

If Clowney actually amounts to a a talent, Watt will be 28 and they will have a bit of a problem on their hands when it's time to extend Clowney, and an even bigger problem if they ever manage to develop a QB worth a crap. 

This is another reason why I have no takes.

Exactly.  Watt is one of the best defensive players in the NFL but even when he's at his best, he cannot affect a game like a QB.  I'm convinced the only players in the NFL worth more than $10m a year are QB's.  

 

Great player, probably best non-QB in football.  But he's not worth $16m a year.  No non-QB is.  

Spoken like a true Blair Kiel Shoeless

 

Good for JJ to get paid so handsomely.

 

There's more Watt's in the Wisconsin pipeline. Wouldn't mind seeing one of JJ's brothers in Green and Gold.

Yeah, most fans are pretty clueless.

Well, your no take stinks.

That's my feet you smell, I am shoeless after all.

Yeah, I remember a time when Goalline refused to believe my argument that Kendrell Bell(who?) should win Rookie of the year over LaDainian Tomlinson.

Yeah, that made you essentially a perfect sage of football knowledge until you decided the offense should run through Dropsy Finley. Then you became as dumb as the rest of us dum dums.

Never understood NFL guys doing long term deals.  The money isn't guaranteed like it is in the MLB.   

 

A smart player is looking to collect big signing bonuses several times throughout his career. 

 

At his best he is disrupting what a QB is doing, no?

 

That said, I don't think any of these players are worth what they make... entertainment, that's all it is.

 

Though Kate Upton may be worth whatever she is getting paid.  

 

Give Kate a raise.

Kate always gets a raise! 

I'm "at attention" when someone says Kate's name

Nice post, fedya. 

She's a singer not a movie star dumass.

Sorry I generalized, She's black and white. 

When the moon comes over the mountain!
