 New number who this? That's what it seems like Melvin Gordon is saying My guy changes number and he said you know what I'm changing my ways to and charges y'all got to make some changes right now Anyway, YouTube team keeping clean What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and Just like that stuff is picking up. I guess AFC West. Maybe the charges were a little bit jealous of Everything going on with the chiefs right now Just with all the attention that they're getting and they were like, you know what? Let's spice some things up So Melvin Gordon and his agent mr. Fletcher. They took it upon themselves. They said hey charges We've gotten some offers from you already but That ain't good enough Talks have sort of slowed down and that ain't good enough So with our current stance with the charges That ain't good enough So Melvin Gordon and his agent They have demanded to either they have demanded a new contract Or for the charges To trade him away and he is in the option year. He's in the last year of his deal That fifth year option And I believe he is worth um for his deal is worth 5.6 meal 5.6 mil so it's not like the charges are like Like Super like held down by this guy by his contract. No because he doesn't have a big contract. He's still on his rookie deal And with him being in the last year of it This there's no big financial commitment to him But he wants that big financial commitment He's ready for it And there's some guys that get that big financial commitment before they get to this point But they're other guys and that's why the the whole cba thing that they put that in there and I absolutely love it I think that is one of the best things that um that the nfl and the With the collective bargaining agreement and and just I think that's one of the best things that they have done over the past Has it even been 10 years yet? Who because who is the I always forget who the first quarterback was that guy that was it andrew luck Was it andrew luck and rg? No, I feel like it wasn't them I forgot who the first quarterback because you remember before when like not even just quarterbacks But the first round draft picks they used to get this crazy money Crazy money and not saying that they don't deserve it But when you got a guy that didn't end up deserving it you were stuck because you had these huge 60-something million dollar contracts and whatnot these dudes hadn't played a snap So when these dudes end up Fizzling out then you were stuck to them you were stuck to them because you had paid them so much money But when they changed that and they made the whole new rookie wave scale That was that was great It's one of the best things that they did but anyway, um back to melvin gordon melvin gordon again He changed his number and he said hey What's up charges y'all need to make some moves And according to his agent they said uh, he's not gonna show up for training camp if they don't get something worked out Man, you you got to you got a feel for charges sometimes man You got a feel for charges because they it's like It's like their team is not allowed to have nice things Their team is not allowed to have nice things And and trust me like i'm a ravens fans. I'm not i'm not saying this as a diss at all Because I know some people are gonna gonna try to take it like that I'm not saying this as a diss at all, but it's like man It's always something with the charges and it's like they it's always extremes too Now one there's the um, there's obviously the lack of postseason success We know about that part and I remember I think going into the playoffs Well after after they took care of us in the playoffs, um, and I think it was they didn't even really have to do much They, um, they changed up their game plan, but our offensive coordinator decided hey, you know what? I'm gonna stick with the same thing over and over and over and over and over again But you know what? I'm not gonna change it to like the end of the fourth quarter Anyway, he he he got out of there. Thank you charges for um, exposing him even more and Letting relinquishing him of his duties. Anyway, so I appreciate your charges for that. Thank you, but um They they have a they I picked them after um After they beat us. I wanted them to go get it I wanted them to go get it No, they I wouldn't have had the problem the Saints went in the Super Bowl or even the charges I'm like man charges. They they never been there before Never been there. Hey, they don't have it But they went and got just annihilated by the patrons But the the lack of Super Bowls the lack of postseason success and charges are all the way every single year They start to get decimated with injuries It every year never fails Whether it was it was Hunter Henry. I think it was Perryman. Um, it was uh, is this name for us or lamp? I forgot the offensive linemen's name my apologies, but um It it's all and it's always somebody and now this It's like these dudes just not not allowed to go into a new season with no drama In one way or another and of course every team has their drama and has their issues But charges just this stuff be on another level Every single year you again you feel for them But maybe this is them trying to sort of break that injury curse Because maybe they feel like maybe Melvin Gordon's like, you know what? I'm gonna take it upon myself if I ask for a trade Then that may be the only drama that this team has going into the season Because uh, and nobody will get hurt. So hopefully that is the case with the charges. Um, because These guys every year they they have these good teams They put together a good team But in the end it just ends up falling apart But anyway, um Melvin Gordon He he's been there running back Uh for four years now, but let's let's take a look at some of the numbers and let's see, uh What kind of numbers he's been putting up for these charges? He's not a bad running back. He's not a bad running back at all. He's good. I don't think I don't think he's great And I almost feel like I almost feel like we got we sort of got to to know Melvin Gordon Even though he's a little hurt. Um, but we got to know Melvin Gordon because that's Ravens We I mean, we got to really know these charges not just Melvin Gordon We got to know the charges because I felt like we were in their division last year since we played them twice but anyway, um So Melvin Gordon 2015 He played 14 games. I'm 641 yards, but that's his rookie deal. I mean, that's his rookie year. No big deal Then he had uh 33 catches for 192 yards. Cool So he was being uh eased into the system So then uh second year 2016 He played 13 games And he had 997 yards and 10 touchdowns. So he burst on the scene his second year. He said hey, I'm taking over So he did this thing. That was that was cool. That was good. Um, then he had 41 catches 419 yards So he upped his rushing uh his rushes and he upped his catches as well Uh, then 2017 boom. He played all 16 games for the first time and he had 1100 yards eight touchdowns. So still pretty good And then he had 50 58 catches and 476. Wow And four touchdowns through the air to that. I'm not through the air. He caught four touchdowns. But yeah, that's pretty good, man So you kept seeing this improvement year by year by year Um, and then last year, no, he got hurt for a little bit and missed four games. Um, so he had 885 yards Had 10 touchdowns this year Um, so his yards went down, but his touchdowns went up And he had wow 50 catches for 490 yards. Wow. That is pretty good. Um So and and again, I know numbers don't tell the the whole story Numbers never tell the whole story But honestly And i'm sure some charges fans will tell you this too, but honestly There is nothing eye-popping about these There's nothing that screams. Oh my gosh, if we lose melvin gordon, then that's it. And like I said, he's good, but Is he worth like a levy on bail money? Well, some that might not be a good example. Some people don't even think levy on bail is worth the levy on bail money. Um Is he really Worth like a Todd girly money Is he worth what ezekiel elliott is gonna get soon enough money? Is he To me no But to somebody maybe I just I don't think he's all that and then again, i'm not saying he's bad But I just don't I honestly don't think charges should even budge I think charges should stick to what what they offer them And not even budge Because if if this guy is really trying to break the bank If charges they they set they they put their limit What it sounds like they put their limit on what they offer them so far They haven't raised anything. It still is what it is. Um, I just he's not that Not that he's not a game change, but he's I just don't feel like he's a game-breaking running back Like that running back where it's like, I mean you respect melvin golden as a running back but He's just Different from if you're lining up if your your team is going against like an ezekiel elliott If your team is going up against, you know avan kamara If your team is going to go up against a Todd girly Um Well guys like adrian peterson in their prime Definitely not the adrian peterson now even though adrian peterson at least it wasn't bad but he just Like a kareem hunt before everything Like how he was for the chiefs last year before everything So it's I just don't feel like like He would really be worth breaking the bank for So I think chargers should stay and put stay right where they at Don't budge and and if if he feels he wants to be traded, I would say start taking calls Start taking calls While yeah, he has been your guy He's only played 16 games once That's pretty big He's played 16 games once and with running backs like I mean extra ravens They're not that hard to find But the thing with running backs too, which you could ask the ravens um Is consistency So that that that plays a big a big part in the running back because while the ravens they they can find a running back anywhere They can find a running back anywhere Undrafted guy a cast off from another team And somebody a veteran whatever They'll plug somebody in and boom They'll do that thing But ever since Ray Rice, uh ever since Ray Rice The ravens have known that um and realizing we've seen it year in year out with the ravens while they they found all these other guys and stuff That's just been a lack of consistency So that would be the thing that you would run the risk of if you did get rid of a Melvin Gordon Would be the consistency Because again, he's not bad Not a bad running back Not a bad player It's good I just I don't think he's great And I don't think um, he's a player That's Worth getting a headache over As far as contract demands So again I think they should just start taking office Start taking office See what's out there And then in the end if you don't want to break the bank for him Just let him write out that last year And what he'll show up He'll show up He'll show up sometime during preseason if he don't show up in training camp. He'll show up sometime during preseason and he may be a little rusty, but He'll show up They about nine times out of 10 they always do No matter the player no matter the position And I did say nine times out of 10 because that 10 time out of 10 is Levy on bail And we know he stuck to his word He said nope ain't doing it Ain't doing it But levy on bail is another running back my Ravens is super familiar with And he boy he he was a beast Levy on bail. Yeah, he's nice man He is nice Now having been a year removed from football We'll see if he will still be as nice as he once was. I'm sure he'll still be fine though Because it could go either way because it could be oh, yeah, he's a year removed from football So he hasn't taken a football hit. He won't be in football shape But then it could be he's a year removed from football. He hasn't taken any hits. So he's He's football fresh So it can go either way Or it could be a combination of both So we'll see how that goes with him and the Jets But as far as melvin gordon Yeah, I think he'll be back if they don't up the offer And charges might be like, hey, you know what? Let's get them talks going again. Let's really push this thing Let's try to see what we can come up with because we want you to be happy. We want to be happy We want you on this team And they may decide, you know what? Yeah, let's get it man We're gonna make this thing work And then they they they could tweet out and shout out to charges social media team Charges have one of the best social media teams Shout out to them But They may uh be just ready To tweet out that picture. Oh melvin gordon has signed a new uh four-year deal worth blah blah blah And they they they tweet out that picture that the player was smiling and with the pen in their hand sign the contract So We'll see how it goes I'm gonna keep an eye on it Anyway, team keep it clean. I appreciate you all Team keep it clean. I love you all And team keep it clean Like melvin gordon and his agent said If you don't give me a new contract Then just like engraving viz with this video I'm out
