Thats an absolutely awful argument and please dont even make a case for that.
I know its not their fault but money dont lie.
Tyler Thigpen and JaMarcus Russell can have similar production but youd pissed with JaMarcus because hes getting paid millions of dollars. its smple logic. You want a return on your investment. If every rookie got paid the minium for like 3 years, you wont feel as used when the guy is a bust like Ryan Leaf, Akill Smith, Tim Couch etc and walks off with more money than Tom Brady did for his first 5 years.
You cant say that you know its not their fault then claim that the money dont lie. Thats a contradiction.
It might seem like simple logic, but theres no correlation. Just because one players rookie contract is more than another player's does not qualify him as a bust. Thats ridiclous to even think that.
You dont care about the return on your investment because its not your investment. Whether or not you think a player is bust has nothing to do with the money they make. Youre not paying him. (Dont give me this "im a fan, im indirectly paying him" stuff. That doesnt work)
Money is NO factor in determining a rookie bust.
The fact that DMC hasn't shown a glimmer of hope this season is reason enough to draw the conclusion that he is at least on pace to being a bust as of right now.
He is projected to have 260 yds this season.
Yupppppp, this MUST mean he's a bust.
People always want an immediate return with their teams players and are incredibly quick to judge. Its unfair.
Anybody with some sense knows money kinda correlates to if a player is a bust or not. Why dont you see 4-7 rounders in the top 10 bust countdowns? Becausethey you dont expect much from them.
Why do 1st and 2nd rounders get paid so much money ? Because you expect alot from them.
