Why do people hate on these rookies with big pay days?

These guys come into the league and get paid millions. I don't agree with it. But is it their fault? Why bag on the player and not the people paying them? Hopefully this is the last year a rookie can come into the league having proved nothing and get paid more than a 5 year vet.

I just don't understand why commentators and press drill these guys so bad when it isn't there fault. And as for holding out until the contract is negotiated I don't see an issue with that. If I was going to build a house for a guy I would discuss a price before I even invested anything in the project. That being said the NFL is supposedly a business these days so the players are acting like it.

    I agree. Don't hate the player...hate the game. If I were in their situation, you can bet I would be looking out for number 1 first.

    It's not hate, I just think teams are spending too much on their rookies. Sam Bradford is getting $50 mil. for sure and we don't know what he'll do in his career. They NFL needs to have a rookie salary cap to prevent these things
