I think you are kinda comparing apples to oranges there. I like Sellers a lot, but for some reason the image of him fumbling at the 1-yd line in that game against Cincinnati keeps popping in my mind. I know it's unfair to say that, but that was just a terrible moment for the Skins last year.
There were plenty of bad moments for the Skins last year and it wasn't just Sellers making them. What would we look like without him? Give him some money!

I'm not disagreeing (and like I said, it was unfair for me to bring this up), but I just remember going insane when it happened.

Well I did too Ruh, but I thought the ball crossed the goaline or at least the whistle should have been blown. Anyway, he makes Portis and the rest of this offense better and he's worth more than he's making compared to some of the other FB's. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it, but with all the players in the league whose effort is less than stellar, I think Mike deserves this and I think we're better when he's on the field.

On a personal level, it's only fair to give him what he deserves: within the top 5 of fullback salaries.
On a business level, it can be justified and leveraged by 2 major things- his recent past production/performance consistently for years and potential to continue to produce. Lorenzo Neal is 38 years old. Mike Sellers is 34. I think it's comparible to use Neal's age, durability, and longevity in football to predict Sellers's. At least 4 more years for Sellers at this level may be likely.

And 2 seasons from now, when his contract is up- I would not want to see him in a giants uniform blocking for Brandon Jacobs. Could you or would you want to imagine that? That's what you would call a power run game.

The Caveman is a monster. I really would not want to sit across from him and tell him that he didn't deserve a raise. He might hurdle the table and administer one of the patented "Curl up in the fetal position like Zach Thomas" hits.

Unfortunately for Sellers, contracts are based on the future -- not the past. From a business perspective, it really just doesn't make sense. Sorry Mike.

When the guy doesn't fumble on the 1 and decides to not half-ass warm-ups, then we can talk. He's under contract and not in his final year, STFU and play.

Did you mention that to him at TC today ;)
Seriously though, all the quotes look like a lot of good stuff today, did you have a good time there?
Same question to you Daseal!
