CLCougar Intervention Needed

yes 100% "Barry Sanders did not contribute as much to winning as he could have given other circumstances."

You've gotta explain what more he could have done for those of us who feel it wasn't the most obvious thing in the world...

Waiting...

You have to love Taysom, how many players are 34 years old, and run for TDs of 38 and 75, and not just run, but outrun

Does he call it quits after his contract is up?

He can find a job if he wants one. So it is a matter of if he wants one. He won't be making what he was under the old

I think I would retire, take the $60+ million in career earnings and

Not a bad idea.

Taysom is unique for sure. I'm not sure it has translated to winning as much as it

It clearly takes a sharper mind than Allen had. He was very traditional about how the offense ran, and I think he

By your reasoning, I guess Barry Sanders wasn't a winner either?

Where did I say Taysom wasn't a winner? Man you guys are so weird.

Talented people with the wrong coaching or in the wrong system or not having adequate talent around

you mean guys like McCaffrey at Carolina, who are lucky enough to get out before their career is wrecked

ChinaFan

Exactly....or the multiple ex-Jet QB's being successful elsewhere. Accusing Sanders of not contributing enough to the

So did McCaffrey contribute more to winning in San Francisco or Carolina?

kimdaddy35

12:46pm

I'd argue that he contributed more, or that his contribution mattered more since Carolina basically relied on him for

ChinaFan

That would be an odd argument. That you contribute more to winning when your team doesn't win

kimdaddy35

Perfect example of a guy who was given the chance contributed more to winning.

Imagine is some coach like Reid decided to pull him in and use him. Mahomes wouldn't like it, Kelce probably would not

100%. On a team like that he would be an impossible weapon to stop!

and with his contract, I can see NO putting him on the wire next year, and a team like KC picking him up for $5 mil

What is your point? Did I say Taysom is the reason the Saints aren't winning? No I said the opposite.

OK, if he were on a better team that had more talent he would have contributed more to winning.

If you can't see a poor choice of words in your earlier posts, and what they implied, that's on you. The fact you

Dude, deep breaths, if being called weird was the worst thing ever happended to me, I'd be divorced. My wife calls us

it's not a bad comparison, the Lions never really won very many games despite Sanders' brilliance
