For sure, and I see everyone’s point of view. It’s just that it’s not as simple as a lot of fans are making it. For an added note, JT could easily use the Shaq Leonard situation. Was he not coming off of an injury but was still paid handsomely? As it is made clear with so many view points, there are just too many variables in this issue. Clearly there is no right answer OTHER than one side or both sides compromise.

The average person cannot speak on someone with a completely different lifestyle. Someone who makes millions of dollars cannot be grouped in the same issues of someone who makes the normal pay scale. Both are in different situations, the easiest example would be let’s say taxes. We can all agree, athletes make much more. Like I mentioned this previous week when I got a little push back, fans turn on these players so quickly regardless of the situation. I will agree both sides are wrong in some areas, but both sides also have an equal amount of reasonings behind their statements. Like Pat said, both sides need to have compromise. P.S. to be fair, put yourself in Taylor’s shoes. Since coming into the league, your GM preached about paying the players that deserve it. When it’s your turn, then the philosophy is changed. There needs to be a little more Empathy for JT on this issue

Training camp day 5 8/1

Would understand even if he had a down day since he is coming off of a surgery on his face. I’m sure he is congested. Plus he haven’t really had a bad day since camp started, so one is expected to come im sure -

Hoping Brent’s and Rush can get out there soon. Almost feels like half of our rookie class has been hurt so far. Been noticing a bunch of injuries around the league this year too. -
Training camp day one 7/26

This was a nice surprise. Would not expect such a mature action from a second year player. Earned some points with me for this one. Relying on Kenny to be more hands on as well throughout camp with this unit -
Lol not sure how my name makes him my idol?? If I was forced to even say an idol that I do have, it would be Barry Sanders. At the end of the day, I want our leaders to be compensated off the production they produce on and off the field. If Taylor continues to do what he needs to do, then yes I would hope Ballard indeed is not stingy with Irsay's money. Time will tell eventually. Anyway I'm just in a wait and see mode at the moment and just enjoying the return of football

I can't group our entire fan base with that one statement, but definitely a select few. I've seen comments on different platforms with very short sighted opinions. One example I usually see is that "Taylor was ok, until Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs had issues with it" and a few that group RBs together saying, "they already get paid millions and should be happy with that"....I just can't agree with how easily the league and it's fanbase are ok with mortgaging the RB position and throwing them away like trash when it's time to pay.

I will support Taylor and all runningbacks on this matter. Especially Taylor, he's done nothing but came in and put his head down and worked with no complaints ever. I don't see it as just paying him as a runningback, but also as one of the leaders of this team. I'm disappointed in all of the fans that have turned on him so easily and said nasty things about him. Gives me that post Andrew Luck retirement vibe.

Like Barkley said, it’s all about respect. We should pay Taylor, because one injury riddled season should not disqualify him for a new contract. We waited too long to find a Franchise RB, can’t take him for granted because of a league technicality. Probably in our best interest to pay him now before any other RB receives a new contract. The price will only get higher the longer we wait. Richardson is in his rookie deal anyways

In a position to be able to focus all of our resources into the line after the draft when you think about it. There are still lots of options out there -

If we can throw money at G or trade for one, this mini "rebuild" may be a lot shorter than we think. Still keeping a level head, but our team as a whole is very deep at each position except IOL
