Bobby, bobby, bobby, Digi, Digi, Digi.....

I think it is high time I weighed in on the Bobby Engram situation. Most of you are tired of hearing the same old song and dance from WR's in this league. Well this situation is unlike most of the other situations you have seen in the past. This is not a matter of whether or not Engram is good enough to deserve a raise in pay. Bobby is good enough to merit a pay increase. The thing that separates Engram's situation from the rest is that Engram is not a cocky flash receiver who is whining because he doesn't get the ball enough. He is not crying about the team losing. He also is not on bad terms with the coaching staff. These are all common factors of the situations around the league in which most of you are comparing Engrams current situation with. I want all of you to answer one question. Who has been the most solid player in the last six years (excluding the thyroid condition). If you don't answer Bobby Engram then you are watching a different team. Now I said the most solid player period but obviously we are not comparing Engram to Hasselbeck. Engram is a first down machine. He is the most consistent receiver in the whole NFC west if you ask me and I would have to make an argument that he could be one of the all time greats. He has proven his worth and I think Ruskell should look at the scenario as if Bobby was going to lead this team to a Superbowl, because he is the only veteran WR on this team who has the most to offer to the younger guys in terms of knowledge. This guy could even go on to be a WR coach in this league after his playing career is over. Cut the guy some slack and try to remember what he has done for this team. Keeping the lead vet receiver happy is now a priority, or at least it should be. End...
