It was the new CBA and basically the older vets anger at the rookie deals taking money from their pockets in free agency that was the big changing influence. The NFLPA was just as motivated to get some reasonable structure in place.

I will never forget the people piling on Joe Brady during the Rhule Reign and blaming him for all the issues.

I think unfortunately this is a McVay get even game. Rams 31 Panthers 13 I don't think we will be helped by the later kickoff time and mild weather for a West Coast dome team coming east. Edit: Also, Adams and Lake are back from injury.

That's a valid point because that was during the uncapped draft era. Bradford got $78 mil of his career $130 mil earnings on his rookie contract.

Shout out to Brock Osweiler for collecting almost $42 mil in career earnings for 30 career starts. Osweiler: $1.38 mil/start Bradford: $1.566 mil/start Cousins: $1.925 mil/start

Given that the only real attractive open position is Baltimore, I question whether Harbaugh is likely to take any of the currently open positions. I know people point to the Giants but that isn't a good franchise and it's not built on as solid of a ground with that roster as pundits keep seeming to indicate. I saw a quote on ESPN saying his agent(I know) claimed that 7 NFL teams had called to inquire about him. That means that at least a couple of teams with no position open asked about him. Don't be surprised to see someone like Dallas possibly make a run.

I think his shitty footwork is largely to blame for having such a low percentage of average NFL velocity throws. Sometimes even in ideal situations, it fails him. Plus, he is ultimately most comfortable scrambling and making throws. Well, that is going to lead to a lot of fraught scenarios with a less than ideal base to get full velocity. His comfort level is literally putting himself in scenarios where he is going to be far less successful.

Meh? That 2024 draft is currently tracking towards being one of the worst in franchise history.

This is truly reminiscent of when Matt Rhule was blamed for everything and Fitterer was the guy or vice versa.

Since when did we fix the DL????

Tepper just wants some people his age so they can compare surgery scars in repetitive conversations.

That makes sense. So odd to be attached to such a washed player.

Bro, I would fire Canales tomorrow and hire Harbaugh the same day. That is a no brainer. I'll take Stefanski over DC too.

I mean there were several guys on the team that played significant snaps that were lower or almost as low in catch percentage. I think you just don't like the guy. It's weird to hate a deep, DEEP reserve player this much is all I will say.

I would be surprised if it wasn't at least bottom 20%.

He can do the latter but that is too rare of an occasion. Now, he isn't going to be throwing Cam Newton/Brett Favre finger nuking lasers but he has thrown a bunch of passes with at least average NFL velocity. Like I said, it's such a small minority of the cases that it seems like a fluke.

Dillon Gabriel would like a word. There are weaker arms but being in that discussion at all is automatically a massive red flag.

It's wild. We have David Moore and Chandler Zavala threads.

It's such an odd guy to pick to hate as a good special teams player and 5th or 6th string WR. Especially with some of the scrubs we have all over the roster starting and being terrible.

Yeah, and he continued to be very efficient in New England too. I think had he been with an Andy Reid or Kyle Shanahan type, his career arc would have been so dramatically different.

I would imagine out. I am not sure why they haven't just closed that door completely. It's illogical given the injury suffered to even consider bringing him back.

Yeah, I discarded that theory after seeing that video. It seems he just is unwilling to change what he has always been doing and in his mind works, despite the volumes of evidence that indicates otherwise. Not that I had any real hope he would turn it around but I genuinely think his NFL window could now be over when he is no longer a Panther. I thought perhaps a couple of years kicking around as a backup but I don't think he is capable of doing that.

Yeah, we have already established that Canales really is quite bad at personnel management. He is genuinely not very good at it.
