He's pretty good at his job, too.

Just the way it has went as some of us predicted. Ja'Marr is such a rare talent with his strength, balance, quicks and deep speed.

He will, no doubt, and deserves to be. My point is being the highest paid early in the off season won't really equate to that much more than it would be the highest paid at the start of this season because no new deals have been done to up the price point. They do need to get him signed early this offseason though before a bunch of other's sign their deals.

Imagine not paying this dude early when you had the chance.

Just insane. What a player.

It is rough no doubt. Oh well, at least in the Offseason we can build up the Defense with new coaches and you couldn't get 2 players better
to build around on Offense. Just sucks they will take up so much money with just 2 players. Should of gave Ja'Marr his guarantees before 
this record breaking season but hey, not my money.

Yep, get the deal done early so we know what we have to spend in Free Agency where we need to build up the trenches on both sides.

What they used to call Asperger's, high functioning and not autistic, but missed the normal social clues that seem so easy to other people. Being "on the spectrum" manifests itself in a myriad of ways. 

My wife, who is a teacher, rather of matter of factly said something about me being on the spectrum and my initial reaction was confusion and then all those "I shouldn't have to tell you...." statements from prior girlfriends flooded my mind.

But he's not elite...and maybe Tee is...

If we had a better OL. His stats would be much better than this. Damn, that guy has speed and smarts. 

Anyone see the ESPN story about Chase and the little boy with cancer?

It's great, isn't it, when all of the puzzle pieces fit together and you can finally see the entire picture?

Signed, someone else likely on the spectrum

Yards are the best chance of being caught, I would think. Man, a triple crown would be pretty nice for him to get.
