Now, is it fair to RBs to be "used up" for cheap by the NFL?  Likely not.  However, he's shown no durability issues, and should warrant a second, more lucrative deal.  What I have issue with is taking it public by putting out threats of a "holdout", if he's not given an extension.  There are diplomatic and dignified ways of doing business, like having one's agent speak with the team privately;  And then there's trying to use public perception to elicit a response from those in control.  When you ask about "view of the world" and such, which of those negotiating tactics would you think to be the more "grown up" way to go about it? 

Sorry, but it says way more about you than him.  A guy wants to earn what he considers fair compensation for the job he's doing.  If he gets injured this year his career that he worked his entire life for could be over.  I don't judge people for wanting what's best for them and their families.  So I will just agree to disagree and walk away from this conversation
