NateDawg Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 How have I missed Russell Wilson social media during his whole tenure up until the past two weeks? I have missed out on really disliking him all this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totaling about 1/10 of 1% of what he got but it's the thought that counts... TBF, I wouldn't give several of my friends/coworkers 1/10th of a percent of what I get. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is exceptionally good at avoiding big hits when scrambling. Unfortunately, when you're the most sacked QB in the league for years and years because your OL is the epitome of garbage, that just starts to add up over time - coupled with age. Wilson has still never missed a game or practice, which is just hella impressive for a mobile QB. 11 hours ago, Thomas5737 said: Russell gave each of his 13 offensive linemen 12k in Amazon stock to thank them for their part in him being able to support his family.

Yeah let's shame the guy who gave 12k to each of his offensive lineman as a thank you because it was only 1/10 of his new contract. What a really horrible person! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! Seriously?

He may get them Christmas gifts every year or yearly gifts at some time like a lot of QBs do, or used to anyway, I just don't think it should have been newsworthy when it is like someone who makes 50k give $5 to someone. Or $5 for 13 guys to split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except $12,000 in stock isn't $5 (not even relatively), and $12,000 in stock for a lot of those guys on the OL who don't make a lot of money (sans Duane Brown maybe) is a considerable amount. So yes, it is news and no matter how you spin it it's a good thing to do. Crap on how corny he is on social media all you want (because he is, it's cringy AF), but this was still a nice thing to do regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilflamingo Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 If only there was a word to describe 1/10th of a percent... Hint: there is; one per mille, or ‰ if you want the fancy symbols. Reading up on it, apparently it isn't commonly used in the US (why?). In Sweden and many other EU countries we use it quite frequently.

Can anyone foresee a time if these numbers keep getting bigger and the cap rises slower that we will have a rule whereby 1 player can't make more than X% of the cap?

Not anytime that i could reasonably see. Football is different from basketball in that even the most influential person on the field is still only 1 of 22 (as opposed to 1/10). And out of a total of 53 guys on the roster, instead of 12 or w/e number basketball teams keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It essentially is what creates the super team problem in the NBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
