How Darrelle Revis became the NFL's savviest negotiator

[Originalman]

He walks alone

He marches to his own beat

He doesn't value "popularity"

He is resolute and a tough negotiator

He is a master of his craft

He's a smart money manager and financial planner

He's dignified and doesn't bojangle like that fukk nikka Warren Sapp

So many levels to his greatness

A great example

And that is why the brotha is dangerous to the system.

Did this guy really compare the intricacies of building a franchise on Madden to building a real NFL team. You actually feel that franchise mode "brainwashes" people into not caring? Thats some silly ass shyt.

Where did I say Madden brainwashed you into not caring for players?

What I said is that if fans understand the intricacies of the salary cap they have some understanding of the business side in terms of player personel and how it affects the team financially within the confine of the salary cap rules.They see the players value from the owners point of view bc ultimately they want their teams to be competitive within the confines of said salary cap so the players financial situation is of little value to them as long as it does not impact the team. Therefore to argue that the fans are dense if patently false bc they have some understanding of the business aspect of player and team salary situation. Franshise mode in Madden is a reflection of fans comprehension of said process hence why it's there. My argument is pretty logical breh.

@ Revis Island.

once again, at the NFLPA, allowing this travesty to unfold. They bargained for less practice time in pads and lighter training camps while the owners approved, laughing all the way to the bank in the process.

this is what happens when you do most of your negotiations with the Jets.

First Bolded. Thats the thing most fans don't know the intricacies of the salary cap. On franchise mode can you back load contracts? Can you provide an incentive laced contract. Can you create a no franchise tag clause? In fact the salary cap in Madden is basic as hell. Saying you someone has an understanding of the salary cap because of Madden is like saying someone has a knowledge of volcanic activity because someone builds a mock volcano and make it "erupt" using vinegar and baking soda. The shyt is just asinine.

Second Bolded. Um yeah, all fans want there teams to be successful and most understand that bad contracts will hamper their team. Did you see how Dan Snyder gave all those big money contracts when he first took over the Redskins and how it worked out? Bad contracts can hamper a team but most fans dont give a fukk if a player is getting paid his worth. This past offseason when Dez was holding out, who was getting most of the shyt? JERRY fukkING JONES. If fans really truely cared how much money a player makes then why didn't any of the Miami Dolphin fans create an uprising when they gave Suh that big ass contract? Big money extensions/contracts get are given everyday B. And most fans are happy that their player is locked up long term. It also depends how a player handles his contract situation. Refer to yourself as a slave and prepare to be roasted, handle yourself in a childish manner, prepare to be roasted, pull the same bullshyt T.O. pulled with the Eagles and prepare to be roasted.

And the last part of your arguement is laughable. Franchise mode is not a comprehension of a fans understanding of the salary cap. It is a feature created by EA Sports to make playing the game more in depth. "If its in the game. Its in the game." Most fans will look at somebody like an idiot if they suggest their franchise should do what a fan does in Madden. Naw bruh, you're point ain't logical.

I never fukking said that, you making up your own argument, what I said is that Madden sees that the fans have in interest in how the salary cap works and provided a feature in the game that reflects said interest. Second having a basic understanding on how cap work is still having a basic understanding on the business side.

You making my point for me , they care how much players make if they feel it will hamper team success is the point I have been arguing the whole time hence why they look at it from the owners perspective. You either purposely being obtuse or an idiot.

Its crazy how much of a personal person he is people look at me crazy when I hit places by myself but I feel the same way he does. Stick to your guns people whether its job relationship or family. Big ups to revis for being a great athlete and businessman which is lacking from most players

Who are you?

 

[K-Apps]

Revis sounds the type of guy I want to be, quiet, reserved, and rather enjoy his own company and has the money and mental solitude to do it.

 

[Maluma]

In other words, Revis > Sherman in all aspects of life

Why can't both of them be Black Excellence my brother?

 

[Darealtwo1]

I only got one question and its not bout revis

Should a fan have the right to be angry if a player signs a contract 5 or 6 year contract one or 2 years ago and performs well. Should he have the right to hold out when he just signed a long term deal a year ago.
