Yeah, that basically sounds like head in sand nonsense. People need negative experiences to learn and grow. It's how you deal with and grow from them that helps you get better. Just refusing to acknowledge anything negative.....that's fuging insane.

That sounds pretty cultish, TBH.

Makes me kind of wonder what impact being in the celebrity world had on him(famous new spouse). I don't recall any egomaniac stories from either of his stops in college.

Yeah, I think he is gonna get a bigger deep dive than most for those reasons.

I think Richardson is going to have to hope UF is glowing when they get asked about him.

McShay isn't quite Kiper level KOD but not too far off.....

I barely survived this game. A parade of booze and rich foods punctuated by a high intensity, frigid, nationally televised gang bang just about ended me.

I have to assume Brown is a DE in a 3-4.

I have no idea why people are still attached to this "hometown discount" thing. That is so rarely ever the actual case.

Likely $3-7 mil.

In today's money that would be about $70 mil. But also consider the exponential rate of NFL TV revenue, which has gone up 623% from 1990 to 2020. So, in reality the cap just matches the insane money they make. Goodell set a goal to have league revenue at $27 billion by 2027.

In fairness, prior to last season you would have a hard time finding many that didn't consider Wilson a top QB. That's a hindsight mistake. It was a mistake in foresight to have paid Murray and Dak that money.

It's gonna be nuts. That reminds me, need to pregame with antacid and Immodium.

I will be having a 30-40 person strong tailgate out there. Going HAM.

That always depends on the results. Plus that $40 mil mark isn't really gonna look like much in a couple of seasons. Still, I don't want to be the team making an investment like that.

fuging...don't bring Caps fans in here. fug that.

Aside from the dirty hit, this is exactly the tune up we needed prior to Saturday.

That will scare more FO's and scouts off than the height.

I think the public/draftniks look at that more than most teams. It really depends on what kind of system you are trying to run. There is a long history of very successful sub-6 foot QB's. Including a couple of HOFers. As many have pointed out, one of the leaders in batted balls was Josh Allen. Batted balls is less about height and more about awareness. But, I sincerely hope the slide to 9 is related to frame and not playing ability. I would be all over that.

It's one of many arguments against drafting and/or paying a RB like CMC. It's actually a shame that the franchise made these idiotic errors because it's a shadow over CMC's legacy here which is very unfair to him. All he did is show up, work hard and give the franchise everything he had. Unfortunately we piled the entire franchise onto his back once Cam's shoulder was shot.

I think you mean Jimmy Buck Squirrel.

He didn't redefine the position, TBH. Faulk and LT existed before him, even today there are backs or hybrid players with great catching ability/production. He might be the best overall package, to be sure but he wasn't some new thing. The trade we made for him was fantastic. WAY more than I ever figured we would get for him given the value. But, again, the results were that we didn't win. That is ultimately what matters. You want painful? Mahomes, Watson, TJ Watt, Ryan Ramczyk, etc....those guys were drafted later in the 1st and would like have had a much bigger impact on wins and losses. Because all those guys play much more valuable positions. Not to mention in that draft Dalvin Cook was a 2nd round pick and Alvin Kamara a 3rd. So you could have gotten another elite RB AND an impact player at an high value position. That will be the problem with taking a 1st round RB for the foreseeable future. You think the Giants would still take Barkley at 3? When they could have drafted Allen or Jackson at QB and probably still have gotten Nick Chubb(a better RB than Barkley)? Probably not.

Yeah, I didn't want to do that at the time and very sadly I was 100% correct in the reasons why we shouldn't have done it. It would have been nice to be very wrong and watch him have a Frank Gore-like career here but the data just showed how rarely that happens. It is what it is. So, no to spending a 1st round pick on Robinson. I love him as a player but I have zero desire to fall into that trap again.

And how did that work once he didn't have a QB in SF? Did he drag them to victory? No he didn't. Because that isn't how winning in the NFL works.

It's not really about his best or not his best. Even at his best, it didn't have a dramatic impact on wins and losses. I posted the article here a few seasons ago(around the time we were talking about extending him) and it was a detailed statistical analysis that specifically resulted in win shares for RB's being one of the lowest positions on any NFL offense. And that has always been the big problem with paying money like that to a RB. This isn't the 70's or 80's or even 90's. It isn't "featured" backs anymore that have 400+ carries a year until they are ground to dust because that is what wins. That's not modern NFL football. RB's are complimentary players and the decline in overall top paid players at the position very much reflects the league recognizing that this has been the trend. That's the problem a lot of the irrational CMC fanboys have with this argument. It literally has NOTHING to do with CMC the player. It's about the position and how it has evolved into something that doesn't need a $8+ mil/year player. Much less one double that cost.
