Not a ground & pound RB - more of your slot receiver type RB. Always on the edges.

Problem with that is each time he comes on the field he will be heavily marked.

Did anyone see this interview? Did he actually say anything worth mentioning

He said that his heart will always be with Parra and if he returns it will only be with us unless we didn't want him.

Not good enough for our resident conspiracy theorist, bartman.

You might think it's shit, (and we don't know if the time is fact or fiction) but supposedly it would have been the 6th faster time at the combine. Must be a dud year of recruits coming through.
6th fastest among running backs at the combine. wish he'd taken part. i am very interested to see how his agility tests would have rated.

ron, did you see the numbers jadaveon clowney put up last year? wish that bloke would get an injury free streak so we could see him in full action in the nfl. he was impressive in college when he actually played.

I'm going to try and get into NFL this year. See what all the fuss is about. I've picked the 49ers as my team.

give it a bit of a chance so that you can get your head around the rules. the ncaa comp is great to watch too (i prefer it to nfl to tell you the truth).

Excellent choice. They are my team. I picked them in primary school because Joe Montana was the man back then.

I'm also more of a fan of the College Football. I'm fascinated by it to be truthful.

You may not put any stock into the original source, but it is a reputable publication, which is more substantial evidence and has more credibility than someone just saying a number with no evidence to back it up.

The original discussion came about because Pou Bear claimed that Parra was going to be paying The Plane $1.5+ million per year and costing around $1million under the salary cap this year. I called absolute garbage and provided information to justify my claim. Pou Bear has provided nothing since to substantiate his claim that his figures are anything but in his fantasy world.

I'd agree with you on the number of third party deals that the top NRL players "should have", but there is still no other credible evidence available that any NRL player had an income equal to $1.28 million in 2014. So if the top NRL players did have those multiple third party deals that you refer to, then that just reinforces my claim of the amount that the top players are costing clubs under the Cap.

My opinion is based on hearsay, including a statement on one of the footy shows that Hayne, Marshall and Thurston were all on a million plus per year back in 2013. Poaching by other codes has guaranteed that the highest profile NRL players are remunerated to keep them in rugby league, and based on your 'reputable publication' $1.28 million (or $1.279999 million if you prefer) is more than conceivable for Hayne.

Therefore a million a year is at the upper end of his cost under the cap (and I'm including guaranteed third party and long service discount) but you have no proof that $800k is any more realistic or even more likely. What is fantasy though is the idea that Hayne would be on only $600k under the cap. Where's your proof of that?

As a 49ers fan I give you my sympathies. Probably not the best time to start following them. We are on a downward spiral.

Anyway, welcome aboard!

"A statement on one of the footy shows"... by whom? based on what information?

That'll just about do me...

You're not going to listen to justification and reason unless you've provided it, so I'm not really going to bother.

Steve Young for me.
It worked out in the long run considering my brother now lives about 2 hours from SF.

It's a good idea to support a team from a nice city, if you ever want to see them play.

Detroit, on the other hand..... Think I'll go to an away game lol.
