re: All the talk about JR's salary killing his motivation.........

Jamarcus is definitley an outlier, and blaming the money, Raiders org, etc on his failures is plain stupidity.

I actually wasn't blaming the money. But it's a statement that has been made over and over again. I'm just saying if that contributed at all to his seemingly poor work ethic since going to the NFL, that won't be an excuse much longer.

After couple of houses, a few cars, clothes, jewelry, trips, not just for yourself but friends, family, entourage, plus still paying an agent, I'd be shocked if JR has anywhere near 10 million in his bank accounts at this point, and say it's probably less than 5.

After 3 years of thinking you're made of money, and seeing all of a sudden you've got a few million left at 25 years old with more money pouring out every day, that will not be an excuse that anyone can fall back on in his second stint with an NFL team at league minimum type numbers.
