I think hogskin brings up a good point about playing time. Sometimes the game situation dictates that certain players won't play. Example you're down 4 TDs you're probably not going to have your back pounding out 3 yards at a time running out the clock. Is that the running back's fault? Maybe
Truth be told even if I didn't agree with hogskin I'm not about to say it. I'd like to think I'm smart enough not to get on the wrong side of the man who owns possibly the coolest game room I've ever seen. His grandkids must feel like Ricky Stratton in Silver Spoons.

Gardner doesn't fit in with what gibb's is trying to accomplish, and that's guy's who are redskin's, which mean's a lot more than just physical talent, I also like the fact that gibb's has my boy Bett's backing up Portis, he obviously has an eye for talent! :biggthump

Smack, thanks for the great plug, LOL. But anyone can disagree with my opinion any time they like, and it will not affect my opinion of them. As you've probably seen, I enjoy a good healthy "discussion" of different points of view, and will argue my points strenuously. I sure hope you make it to Alabama sometime. If so, be sure to stop in to see us in Hartselle. It would be great to have someone here who can talk Redskins!!!

I think incentive based contracts should ONLY be given to those with big questions. Rookies, questionable personallity/injury history. I feel otherwise the owner and coach on certain teams could keep players from being paid too much. Say the RB gets an extra 3 mil if he get's 1700 yards. He's at 1650 for the last game, the team has no chance at the playoffs, the RB gets benched. I could see that problem coming up.
Not to mention, it promotes individual advancement, not team advancement. Only do incentive based contracts for people like Gardner that you're not sure how they'll act. As much as I hate to admit it (just kidding) I agree with Hogskin!

Conversely most players have accelerator clauses for playoff games, Super Bowl games already so that should cover the team advancement. I can't imagine a pro player wanting to get his bonus at a detriment to the overall sucess of the team.
OK, I can, but it seems bassackwards.

LOL, Da-Seal!!! So I CAN get ONE right for a change, eh? You still need to pull a Warpath fantasy league together so you can prove how lame my WR ratings are!! In any case, this offseason has brought me more excitement and anticipation than any for many years.

I never said your WR ratings were lame! I just asked why you thought Chad Johnson and TO would be on top of their game since they have had changes in systems. I think you know more about this than me!
We're definitely gonna have some warpath ff leagues again this year. I'm thinking of a pay league where we all toss in $25, and then we'll have some free leagues as well.

That sounds cool. At where I work there is a guy that runs a suicide pool. It only costs like $5 for the season and each week you only pick one team, but the team you pick can not be picked later in the season. Last year like half of the pool was out in week 1 when the Dolphins lost to Houston. I am ashamed to admit that I was one of them to out. Who ever lasts the longest wins. I think it was over by week 7 or 8 last season.
