Adams and Robby should never be mentioned in the same breath. And if Robby was even average, you might have a point. But he pouted, got an extension, and mailed it in.. Then had the 3rd worst catch % in the NFL. Worst Y/TGt for a WR. Nothing another team or WR does makes any of his extension less ill-advised. Aaron Rodgers got 50M. Does that make giving Darnold 19M guaranteed any better? And Kirk got 4/72 at 3 years younger. Not the 21/yr reported at first.

15M/yr for solid? At his best. And just because some random guy on Twitter says there is interest, doesn’t make it so. There was never a logical reason for NE to be interested in him. Who else was? And if any team was mildly interested, this restructuring was a horrible idea. Just because JAX is ignorant, doesn’t make RAs deal better. Other teams making mistakes doesn’t mean the ones this team has made are suddenly justified.

It’s still terrible. There was no reason to give it to him in the first place, and then he went out and avg. 4.7 yds/target and dropped a ton of passes. Just because others got paid, doesn’t make his deal less of a mistake.

Rhule had total control and made the decision to try and be competitive instead of logical. There’s plenty to blame Hurney for, but none of this mess is his. Rhule made it clear when Andrew Berry(and then no other candidates) would interview because they knew it was all Rhule’s decisions. Giving Rhule’s project QB 34M guaranteed, changed the direction immediately. Then CMCs deal, and you know the rest all too well. Hurney was here to take the blame for anything that went wrong year one. Then many of the same things happened when he was gone.

But it’s not. And won’t be. So why would they not want their money early and alll at once. And the NFL has the best system. There are no loopholes. The rules are the same for every team. Paying 53 players is just much more complicated than 12.

Why would the players want to stop it. They get their salary right now instead of 17 checks during the season. Everyone has the same rules.

Yep. It limits options on players that don’t play well or stay healthy. Now if a WR desperate team was willing to take Anderson, he would be an immediate 21.5M dead cap on this year because they took his base salary and kicked half down the road. Just like CMC. Trading him would actually cost 5M more on this year’s cap. People love to say the cap doesn’t matter but when was the last time the Saints made the SB? Following this “spend it all” model? With a HOF QB the whole time.

Rhule’s squeezing every ounce of blood out of this rock to try and save his job. No trade possible now with RA.

And worst case you get a solid backup at 1M/yr who has started 20 games already.

So go ahead and explain how Mariota, at 3.5M, and no draft picks was a worse option than Darnold at 24M and 2nd, 4th, and 6th round picks. Mariota had played at a higher level than Darnold ever did. So why Darnold? How is Darnold not dumb but Mariota is?

Mariota as well.

Almost Whitehead bad. And I had high hopes before last year as well. Just slow to react and speed is gone. Extremely blockable.

You really don’t want to do that.

That’s the remainder of his signing bonus. 16.2M at 5.4M per year. It doesn’t affect the 35M guaranteed base salary that he will be paid by any team that acquires him. Or the 37M he is guaranteed next year.

False

Exactly. They can’t trade hardly anyone good. It’s the same for all the better ones.

When you’re still one of the best… play til ya drop. I gave him until June, but I guess he had to tell TB not to tear it down.

Here we go again. What exactly did Hurney do? What desires did he not carry out. The answer is none. Rhule didn’t want a real GM, because he made the all the decisions. And the cap guru who you said wasn’t there in 2020 actually was. So if anyone takes blame for the wasted money it’s him. What magical things did Fitterer do to make things better? Darnold trade/option, Signing two of the worst OL in the NFL(if they happen to be healthy) day one of FA, instead of taking the 14.5M guaranteed and got one good OL. Flexible on this OL just means the player can suck at multiple positions. That’s if Fitterer did anything at all. You don’t overpay one WR just because you think another might play well enough to have to pay. Especially after drafting a WR in the 2nd round. That’s ignorant. Maybe try saving it for the one that is actually good. Now they can’t give RA away. And a TE like Thomas can be signed anytime this summer. With no worry about comp pick formula. Not that his 5.5/yr would be around a 7th anyhow. The fact that you can’t see how bad that was is just par for the course. They burned a 3rd round pick on a TE last year but still felt the need to give Thomas double(or more) what he’s worth. All 5 win teams make mostly good decisions. What level of incompetence is required to say things might not be working out with the current coaching staff and front office.

Rhule had total control in year one and last year. The cap guru was hired 2 weeks after Rhule was hired. Hurney’s last decision was Shaq’s contract before Rhule was hired. The cap guru was here for Teddy, CMC, Boston, Okung,KK, Weatherly, Roberts, and all of the first year mistakes. Plus Robby’s awful extension, Erving, Henderson hasn’t done a thing yet, Elflein, on top of the Darnold option. Teams don’t get in the position this team is in because they make a lot of good decisions. Results just say the opposite of the sunny scenario you always present. And giving a backup TE 5.5M/yr doesn’t seem to say they learned anything.

Then how about the simple fact that it would make Indy a likely SB contender. And those 1st-2nd rounders are at the bottom of the rounds. Not possible top 10 picks. Huge difference in value right off the top. And teams don’t trade good QBs to division opponents. That is a very valid reason as well.

Hey dork. I grew up in Pittsburgh in the 1970s. I didn’t switch to them. I’ve always been with them. Just followed CAR with Cam because I’m an Auburn alum. Hopefully your next alt will get it.
