Thats the deal the dolphins reached with Brandon Marshall via ESPN FIRST TAKE. 24 mil guaranteed http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/14/marshall-gets-24-million-guaranteed/
Hopefully, all this money will prevent him from punting the football during training camp! Seriously, the guy deserves to be paid as a top-5 WR. Aint my money!
get what you pay for proven WR's are a good investment elite WR's are money in the bank somethings require investment
I don't have any issues with that contract. Marshall is arguably the best WR in the entire league... IN TUNA WE TRUST!!!...
I dont know about the best i would still give that to A. Johnson and L. Fitzgerald i think he is the third best in the NFL
Not our money. Just get us to the superbowl so I can shell my 2k for a chance to see my team in a superbowl.
i cant wait to watch the phins + see the placed packed this year. i dont want to see other teams fans in the stadium
It's really not much more than Dansby got. Marshall's a bigger character risk for sure. But he's also a better player.
I dont care about the money, as a Yankee fan, hate all you want, but I am glad the ownership actually is investing in the players to help this team win a championship, instead of pocketing it....It is Ross's problem, not ours, I want playmakers on this team, and you have to pay for playmakers.....
It is ours. The fans are going to pay those salaries. And if there's not enough money, that's when you'll see ticket prices rise, etc.
Great investment... You know Ross may have had some say on this as well. He talked about how he wanted some star power on the field as well as in the stands... WIN-WIN situation!
To be fair, it's also about being wise with your money... not just spending it. *cough*Redskins*cough* *cough*2001 Ravens*cough* *cough*Florida Marlins*cough* *cough*The Spurs*cough*
Uh, no. Moss was off and running from the very get go. More yards, more TDs, higher YPC throughout their first years, even if you throw away Marshalls rookie season. Plus, moss was that Deep threat. Marshall is that big play threat, but not necessarily a deep threat.
No im not saying he was better when moss was his age i must have wrote that wrong but i mean right now he is better then Moss mainly because of moss's age
Until Randy Moss actually shows his age, he's still the better player unfortunately. 1200yds, 13 tds. Marshall - 1100 yds 10 tds. But Marshall with Chad Henne? 1700yds 25 tds. No doubt.
If you want to drive a Ferrari you gotta pay up. It's funny how the Jets fans all have buyer's remorse now and are saying, "Couldn't Tanny have waited a couple more days and gone after Marshall instead." The Jets got the busted up Yugo and we got the Bentley. They were running a poll on Gang Green about who had the best receivers in the AFC East (they only mentioned the Jets and Pats). Now we just moved ahead of both of them. Revis is going to be watching Marshall fly by him for some huge TD's/
i still think he is better player then moss right now. and no doubt with 25 TDs and 1700 yards thats a little bit of a reach i am thinking more around 1400 and 15 TDs
I'm listening to the Dan Patrick show and they said Marshall's first four years were better then Jerry Rice's (if you just look at the numbers). Warren Sapp said he doesn't know what the Broncos are doing, and why would the Broncos be inviting Dez Bryant in and letting Marshall go. Good point.
Marshall, Bess and Camirillo vs. Edwards, Holmes and Cotchery lol. Fasano vs. Keller lol. Brown and Williams vs. Washington and LT lol. I see the Dolphins have more receiving threats than the Jets. Good to know.
Lets look at the numbers for the first 4 years of both TOUCHDOWNS Rice...49 Marshall..25...Rice by almost double the tds Yards receiving Rice...4881 yards receiving Marshall...4019...Rice by 862 yards Touchdown rushing Rice....4 Marshall..0........Rice by 4-0 Yards rushing Rice...253 Marshall...104...Rice again Don't believe everything you hear as Rice was clearly the better at 4 years With that said I am thrilled to have Marshall as well as Dansby on this team
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dRz9WCgXRU"]YouTube- Ted Ginn Burs Revis[/ame] how can a jets fan not respect Ted Ginn? You're the only team to get beat by him.
Ok, first, I'm ecstatic that we got Marshall. Now there are no excuses on offense. We have a play maker, we have good #2, 3, 4, and 5 WRs (assuming one of them is gone soon). We have an adequate, but not spectacular TE. We have a solid run game with three decent backs and a pretty good OL. There should be no reason we don't win against the Colts and Saints given the same circumstances now. However, to compare Marshall to Rice is a little unfair. First, Rice had the advantage of an exploding offense for at least his first 10 seasons with arguably one of the top 5-7 QBs of all time, solid but spectacular at times run games, and very good complementary receivers to go along with him. All that said, if you want to look at Marshall in 10 yrs, then you can compare his numbers to Rice... It's like comparing Chad Henne to Dan Marino. Henne may or may not turn out to be one of the greatest of all time, but we know that Marino did turn out to be one of the greatest QBs of all time. So, comparing them now is very, very unfair....
Not true. Ask the Seahawks and Chiefs. (didn't want to offend them by mentioning them in the same sentence as the Jests)
It's certainly close. The WRs are slightly in their favor although not by nearly as much as the Jets may think. Bess and Hartline are consistent. Edwards is not. At TE they've got the pass-catching threat who can't block, while Miami has the excellent blocking, decent receiving Anthony Fasano. At RB don't even start, unless injuries come into play. That's just stupid.
Whats crazy is a lot of that production came in the strike shortened year, including the 22 touchdowns... he could have had even more!

I'm not sure but in his first 4 years Moss may have had the greatest start to a WR's career ever, he was simply amazing. Ah man, I've just re-read your comment and you are talking about right now instead of at the same point in their career. Ah, well I'm not deleting that now.
Sorry, I thought you were saying the Spurs have been careless with spending money. When you first mentioned the Redskins, I assumed the worst
