155 yards to root against today

[tonyseahawk]

That's what Puka needs to get to knock JSN from the Kings seat of receiving yards today. Doing my best to send them bad vibes

Man eff that guy.

He’s good but I don’t care for him one bit, and it nothing to with his skills or the team he plays for.

 

[tonyseahawk]

I used to think he was a pretty good dude. His success has turned him into a prick. I woke up today to root against that arrogant doof. My only goal today

meh a record that nobody will care about. Gotta figure now that seasons 18 games long those records that seems like freak things are now fairly easily attainable. Especially when your ALMOST the only target.


Whats more important.. JSN plays for and is part of a TEAM. PUKA only cares about PUKA. JSN cares and plays for his TEAM. He's even stated the numbers dont matter to him, we just gotta get the W

Yea the flip side of winning a title like that is, it can go to some guys head, then create a “I’m the best” attitude. In turn that can cause a situation where the dude wants a huge “highest paid” contract.

I truly dislike that aspect of sports. It can actually be a cancer that slowly eats away at a “team”.
I don’t foresee it happening with JSN, but I do worry in the back of my mind about stuff like that.
We see it in the NFL fairly often.

JSN deserves every penny he wants and will probably get it, regardless.

Not my point at all.

 

[Kamcussionator]

JSN’s season ranks 8th All-Time. If Puka catches him, JSN will have to beat him next year.

To be fair yards per game is the better legacy comparison though.

...what? I didn't say it was your point, and wasn't arguing.

And I’m not arguing. We’re good.

I just don’t want to be misunderstood.
I believe that JSN deserves everything he can get.
I’ll support him getting everything he can.

My point was, and I stated I didn’t expect it from him, I don’t like when a player places themselves above the team while looking for their “bag”.
Personal awards can, and many times do go to a player’s head, this can lead to a slow deterioration of relationships (become a cancer).

Hell, we’ve seen it with our own team before, let alone numerous times throughout the NFL.

AGAIN, don’t expect this scenario with JSN even for a minute.
Was simple commentary about the potential award.

Your statement made me think maybe folks didn’t understand what I was getting at.

All good.

Oh, I wasn't misunderstanding what you were saying, more so just adding on.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but I also understand that this is a profession that takes a high toll on players. I fully support guys trying to get their payday while they can, though I do appreciate when players don't try to break a team's bank doing it.

Nah, we are on the same page. I think JSN is the type of player you reward for his performance and locker room presence. You pay those guys top dollar to show other players that if you put the team first AND perform at a high level you will be taken care of. That's how you build trust and get guys to buy in to the team.

There's a fine line between the two ideologies, for sure.

 

[CouchLogic]

That team is imploding, wouldn't be shocked if they dropped another game.

 

[hawker84]

Means nothing.

 

[tonyseahawk]

Means a lot to me. Like when Alexander got mvp......Means nothing in life. Literally nothing. But for Hawks fans..it meant a lot. In that regard, I want him to get this, he earned it.
