It's not that simple IMO. It has a LOT to do with the totally absurd income disparity
which just happens to be pervasive across all spectrums.
Personally I find the salaries in major sports to be an insult
to the "common man" who's support of pro sports is the basis
of the same! One way or another -- the fan base (and general population)
PAY for those salaries via direct means (tickets) and mostly indirect -- paying
the additional margin needed in products SOLD by the sponsors of such enterprises.
It's certainly not a sustainable platform as it is today...
My opinion. Of course.
That's right. It's called high standard. Something the Dolphins do not have.
Enjoy the ignore list.

They looked like strong hands.
So. Just to clarify:
Richard Sherman...after his third year...you DON'T sign him to a contract extension? You let him walk? The best cornerback in the league at the time? Because he had a slower-than-elite 40 yard dash time at the combine?
Dude, it's on NFL.com! His combine performance! If he ran a few weeks later at pro day, and destroyed his combine performance a few weeks later, then update his "some" page so that people know what his athletic ability is.

I do not have a problem with Howard, other than he is not an elite athlete based on his combine performance. If he indeed ran 4.39 and jumped 39", pay him, he is elite!
No. Richard Sherman ran 4.56, but jumped 38" and ran a 3 cone under 7. That is not the same. Sherman is explosive and quick at elite levels.
Howard ran 4.58, jumped 33" and ran a 3 cone 7.18. That is not elite.

Or you can, you know, watch him play? Just a thought.
No. Not interested in eyeballing it.
Okay, so now 40 times are not a deciding factor in your decision making. Good to know.

Oh, so according to you and your combine numbers, Tom Brady, Anquon Boldin, Antonio Brown, Jarvis Landry (to name a few with bad combine numbers) should all be dropped immediately. Keep digging your hole.
Do you not realize how important those 2 1/100ths of a second are?
So you go strictly by combine numbers and box scores? You don't ever judge based off what you see?
They are important, everything is important. But here in Howard we have a guy who is neither fast, nor quick, nor explosive. That's not good.
