Jaguars.com LIVE this week is worth a watch

Quote:So did he reveal which of those teams were offering him more money than he signed for here? You know, since it was about the coach and the energy and not how much money he was getting paid.
 

 

Quote:I don't have time to watch it.

 

I've heard a lot of players talk about a lot of reasons for signing in a lot of places, I've never seen one say what it really was - how much they got paid.

 

I don't have a problem with Gerheart or how much the Jaguars signed him for. I just don't believe for a second coach Gus had anything to do with him choosing to sign here.
 

 

Quote:The journalist is just doing a fluff piece. They're the proxy for fans that would listen to an interview like that and come away believing they were just listening to something of substance.

 

I don't blame a journalist for doing their job just like I don't blame Gerhart for answering dishonestly. It's just a dance.
 

Once again.  It's not always about the money.  I personally have been offered jobs throughout my career that would have given me a higher salary, but I turned them down because I'm perfectly happy and content with earning what I do and doing what I do.

 

You on the other hand seem to be obsessed with how much money he's getting paid and how much he was offered.  Perhaps he and other players aren't concerned as much about the salary and would rather play for a team that they actually want to be a part of.  That doesn't make them dishonest.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.
