POLL: Is Ekeler Right to Organize RB's For More $? - Ekeler Discussion

[Bolt-O]

Sorry, just realized I spelled Ekeler's name wrong in my post. That's gotta be a turnoff to give me any info.

I fixed it, but there is a chance this thread will be merged, maybe to the Season Discussion thread. If anything, the Chargers tend to take their time on injuries.

We have an Ekeler discussion going. Not a fan of people signing up here just to create a thread about a fantasy player. lol No disrespect.

I don’t believe he’s faking anything. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s thinking that he wants to be near 100% before risking life and limb for this game that in his mind grossly undervalued his role. The incentives aren’t that much in after tax dollars. Ekeler has been the face of RB discontent. He made the media rounds, organized the RB zoom, etc. that shit doesn’t disappear

That is all I was asking. Not accusing but just asking, it would not surprise me either way.

I agree with you. Years ago when the Chargers used precious 1st round picks on Ryan Matthews and then again on Melvin Gordon I posted my grievances with both picks on the SDUT forum.

In both circumstances my argument was a better OL can open lanes for ALL your RB’s versus a shitty OL that can’t.

Chargers had shitty OL’s and the draft picks were busts.

Little Johnny finally figured out trenches matter….at least on OL. He’s got more work to do on DL.

RB’s aren’t being screwed. Their proper relative worth is just a fact in the modern NFL.

I just fell outta my chair.

So? I think you care more than GMs will. Hec he did all that and the team still gave him incentives to make more lol. This is another fans beef than organizations. When he beats his GF then teams will care.

Maybe? Imean I'm not paying him $12 mil guaranteed. Maybe $8 mil plus incentives? Sort of Like Mike Williams...really good when available to play. LOL!

Oh I wasn’t talking about GM’s. I was speculating about Ekeler’s state of mind
