  1. Business as usual in the NFL. There's a reason why ERFAs never sign big long-term contracts. It's because there's no pressing need. The team controls their rights for the next two seasons as long as they tender them. Don't commit long-term until you have to. It sucks for the player but it's just rhe business of the NFL. Even if you're totally sold on the player anyone can suffer a career ending or altering injury at any time so until you have to commit long-term you're better off not.
  2. Highly doubt it's going to happen. For whatever reason, the Panthers seem hesitant to commit to Coker. There's been whispers about his conditioning leading to questions about how much work he's putting in and he should've leap frogged XL on the depth chart long before he did. That's not a guy you want to make a serious commitment to long-term. We're in a great situation right now with him. We can tender him at a pretty high level for not a ton of money and then he's an RFA after next season. We essentially control his rights for two more years with no need to make a serious commitment right now.
  3. In no way, shape, or form is having a good young player a "problem". Especially when the good young player is an ERFA.
  4. Browns hire Ravens OC Todd Monken for their HC. A 60 year old with only three years of HC experience and that was over a decade ago at Southern Miss where he went 13-25 over three seasons. The Ravens' offense fell off a cliff this year from being a top 5 unit the previous two seasons to middle of the pack #16 this year getting Harbaugh fired. In other words, classic Browns move. LOL But like Tepper has found put, these are the types of hires you're left to make when everyone with other options is going to choose other options.
  5. They're gonna just have to start signing these kids to binding contracts with negotiated buyouts. That's where this is all headed.
  6. No, it's a QB vs. QB thing. Klubnik was surrounded by a ton of talent and a proven elite coach and just didn't get it done. There's a reason why the entire Clemson fanbase is rejoicing in him running out of eligibility. If you can't get it done with all those competitive advantages it's unlikely to happen at a higher level of competitor without them.
  7. He threw at a higher percentage his first year of starting than any QB in the league with no OL, no defense, and an OC who was just trying to audition for HC roles. Meanwhile, Cade Klubnik lost ad many games at Clemson as they'd lost the entire decade leading up to him taking a snap. THAT is cheeks.
  8. A guy talking poo about Sam Howell lusting after Cade Klubnik? LOL I'd give Klubnik a shot as a UDFA but I wouldn't spend a pick.
  9. I think the jobs good candidates want are gone. Browns, Cards, or Raiders? Oof. Taking a year off and waiting for better opportunities to arise seems like the right call. Either the Raiders set to take Mendoza #1 overall an offensive minded coach seems like the logical move there anyway.
  10. Kinda head scratching unless McD was handcuffing the offense, but their top 5 offensive ranking doesn't scream that. I guess we'll see. Meanwhile...
  11. Pavia's actually measurement was 5'9 7/8s. Bryce measured in at 5'10 1/8. They're probably the same height. Bryce's mini 'fro probably added at least 1/4".
  12. He was pretty highly touted that year by all the draftniks. But he's one of those small school guys who you do have to pay attention to his workout numbers since he was playing against lower level competition. All his draft hype was about his great athleticism and potential, then he went to the Combine and posted very pedestrian measurable. 5.33 40 time, 29.5" vertical, 26 reps on the bench. Overall he had the 19th ranked athleticism score among DTs that year. No one would've been complaining in hindsight about drafting a DT had we drafted Chris Jones who was picked 8 spots after we drafted Butler.
  13. Like putting 38s under a 1988 Toyota truck with stock gears and that clapped out little 22RE can just barely even roll them over.
  14. Yeah, it's time to just get rid of this farce. When a 5th round rookie who threw for 7 TDs and 10 INTs is going to the Pro Bowl it's over. It's a complete joke.
