And please stop comparing him to Owens...because it's not even close. He's a good kid getting bad advice...it has nothing to do with his attitude.
You clearly dont know what your talking about.
You get pushed around by one 1st round rookie, you will get pushed around by all of them.
Can you support your baseless claim ?
Has a team ever paid anyone higher then what they were slotted for ?
Cleveland and Brady Quinn.
QBs are the exception.
What positions do Barry Sanders, Darrelle Revis and Larry Fitzgerald play? There are a lot of examples of non-QB's who were paid outside the slot.
And because there have been SOME irregularities in the slotting system over time that means that WE should be the ones to break it again?
Sorry, but I have to disagree.
I'd do just what the front office is doing, and stand pat. If Crabs is the man like I'm sure he thinks he is, then he should show it ON THE FIELD. Not whine about where he thinks he should have been drafted (because that doesn't make any damn sense). And come time he's a free agent, he'll get the big payday that's he's looking for now.
Fact is, Crabs is NOT being low balled here, so anyone trying to paint the 9ers offer as unfair is absurd. I say call his bluff. Let him sit the season out if we can't trade him first, and cry to some other team about where he "should have been drafted" next year (where he'll be lucky to go top 15).
