Nope I was referring to you but this could apply to many others. Why constantly complain about the past instead of focusing on the present and future?. Hurney and Rivera are gone. If you didn't like what they did why bring it up to complain. You should be glad they are gone and should stop bringing up the negative or even.mentjoning them.. You said we better change our attitude of waiting to sign players and I.pointed out we did better than that. We changed our total staff and have new folks. Instead of looking forward you and plenty others keep bringing up the past and complaining about things that are no longer germaine. Hurney is gone, Why keep getting worked up about something that happened in the past? Move on.. That is the point.

The problem with picking and choosing players and then showing all the average amounts per contract is that the way contracts are structured and spaced out they can all be fit under the cap if done correctly. For example Moton will be done this year and will be cheaper no matter the contract in 2022 and likely 2023. Darnold is signed through 2022 and with a new contract in 2023 he will be relatively cheap given the signing bonus serves as the primary salary. And so forth with each guy. As the Saints showed the cap can be manipulated in a number of ways and isn't the problem it is made out out to be.

Darnold has a great deep ball and with both DJ and Robby as deep threats I predict a really explosive offense as long as our line gives him time. That should also open up the underneath routes for CMC or Arnold.

Fitterer just got here. He is doing what he supposed to be doing and will lock him up. He has shown he is surely not a Hurney devotee. You guys have to get over the PTSD and move into the present. This is a whole new regime in place.

It is easy to pay a guy whatever he wants as long as you control the guaranteed money. The first year every contract is cap friendly and often year 2 averages under the average for the contract. It isn't until year 3 you have to pay a lot and that gives you until 2024 before his contract is a big drag. By then the cap will have really soared and his contract won't look that bad. Let's say we give him a huge 5 year 100 million contract. We guarantee 60 million of which 30 million is a signing bonus. Of the remaining guaranteed money we guarantee his salary his first 2 years using up most of it. Then the big salary years aren't guaranteed and we can cut him without huge dead money. It could go like this. Year 1 (2022) his salary 8 million guaranteed and with a 6 million hit for the signing bonus his cap hit for 2022 is 14 million. In 2023 we pay him 12 million salary guaranteed and with his 6 million from the signing bonus his cap hit is 18 million. That pays him 50 million of the 60 million guaranteed leaving 10 left and he still has 3 years on his contract. In 2025 you give him a guaranteed roster bonus of 10 million if he is still here in March and a salary of 8 million unguaranteed with 6 million from the signing bonus for a cap hit of 24 million. That gets rid of the guaranteed money and his dead cap goes down to 10 million and 5 his last 2 years. You have paid him a total of 68 million and have 32 million plus the signing bonus left over of 10 million for a combined cap hit of 42 million or 22 million for his last 2 years with nothing guaranteed. Doesn't seem that absurd and if I can figure this out I am sure Suleiman can do a much better job. I hope my.math is correct but if not I am sure huddlers will pile in to correct it. LoL

I have said that I am going to be positive and look to the future and not focus on the past. It is too depressing. All I will say is that you aren't wrong and the scheme was awful. I have faith that since Snow has experience in the NFL as a DC now and has seen some great defensive units and has had time to make changes to better utilize the talent that he has, he will have a more aggressive scheme and put more pressure on opposing offenses. I surely hope he has retired the 3-5-3 prevent defense and will mix up the rushes and scheme to be more deceptive and harder to scheme against. He is going to see a traditionally very aggressive defense when we scrimmage Baltimore. I hope he is taking notes during the scrimmages. That is the kind of defense I hope we can grow into.

So it seems the effect difference ignoring age and including it was pretty small. Then distilling a players value over 4 seasons into a single value or number for comparison seems somewhat unsound given the different ways to evaluate value. Finally using regressive analysis to show causality is like using rankings to compare individuals. Without comparing apples to apples and using absolute numbers the result is hardly conclusive or that useful. Just my opinion.

Tackling production will go down hopefully. You don't want your safety leading the team in tackles. But production for interceptions and passes defended should go way up. I am not worried because he played run first and coverage second so it wasn't his focus. This year it will be more about the pass and he has a year of experience. He himself said he played safety all through college so this is a change to his old and familiar position not a new one. He should flourish in his role.

Here we go again bitching about the past. Let's get through the PTSD so we can focus on the future instead of always dwelling on the past. It wasn't great the first time, why keep bringing it up over and over. Unless you just like to bitch and complain or just like to be miserable.

The extension is for the next 5 years and they restructured the 2021 salary hit to lower the amount. The saints always kick things down the road which seems to work for them.

It means what I have said all along. Great tackles get paid well whether they are a left or right tackle. Moton will get paid here or he will play under the tag this year and be gone next. But he will make top money and will be worth every cent.

You jumped right in I see. Wouldnt be so harsh and call you bottom of the barrel. No need to self-debase.

Rotary International's mission is to wipeout polio worldwide. There were only 17 cases reported in 2017. The vaccine is awesome there as well. The polio vaccine of course.

Agree it was heavily biased but unfortunately these days many folks listen and believe every word of these kind of articles

After all the work they have done to.upgrade BOA for soccer suggests it is going to be the soccer venue for the foreseeable future. The football stadium is another matter. But spending tons on stadiums doesn't seem real popular right now unless there is a real threat to relocate which doesn't seem to be likely. And he said he wouldn't be doing it by himself.

At this point building a stadium anywhere seems a long shot. So honestly what you and I think is irrelevant. Frankly I think it should stay at BOA which makes my PSL potentially valuable again. I can say if they moved to Rock Hill I won't be buying season tickets or PSLs instead supporting soccer in BOA where I bought lower level seats for next year. I would buy suite seats for a few games and have fun at the new stadium but every other Sunday during the Fall? Not interested. I doubt I am alone.

I wouldn't at all. One great season and a Superbowl win would be awesome but that would just raise expectations. Then to have losing seasons for the next decade. That would be awful. Honestly I would rather have winning seasons every year and lose in the playoffs and at least be in the hunt. Of course I want it all with winning seasons and a Superbowl but if I have to choose give me the consistent winner.

I use Waze and it is good for pointing our traffic accidents and speed traps etc. But it estimates time as you used it assuming no obstacles, stop lights or stops and then readjusts based on traffic conditions. So no it is only accurate as you used it until you are actually driving. I had a business in Rock Hill for years driving from Shelby. I have gone 5, ,85, 161, 77 and every road in between. And Fort Mills area is a traffic nightmare and there isn't anywhere to go that isn't. And any stadium would be likely built near their practice facility off of Cherry Road near the practice facility as much or more than near Carowinds. And that is 21 miles from the current stadium or 25 minutes unobstructed. In other words 45 minutes most days and longer on game days. Why? Funneling 62 thousand folks into a stadium jams up anywhere including Charlotte. And that includes Sunday morning. A far cry from a few thousand fans coming to Carowinds a few hours after rush hour. You can shine a turd all day and it s still a turd. So is your argument. Since it won't happen I won't waste more time arguing about something that won't be happening. Why don't you acknowledge reality from people who drive that road all the time instead of trying to make an argument everyone is telling you is wrong.

It was a pain in the butt to even go to a knights game and that was only a few thousand fans. Other than 77 which is terrible from the border to 485 most anytime there aren't many arteries to exit the area without stoplights or other issues. And seriously, you use a Wazes app as an accurate judge of traffic while 60 thousand fans are all converging to one area within a two hour span of time?? Those apps always underestimate your time especially to venues which always have traffic and congestion. A stadium in Rock Hill would be a terrible idea.

Anyone who drove down to Clemson in the day knew that 60000 people all heading to the stadium around the same time was a disaster coming and going. It would double the normal time to drive because there were limited ways in and out.

If you drive from Fort Mill to central Charlotte you know that your 14 minute drive can take more than an hour depending in time of day. 77 has terrible traffic and daily accidents. Maybe it is 14 minutes by helicopter but not in a car.

Are any running backs ranked higher? If so them he might be low. If not it just goes to show how the running back position has been devalued over the past few years.

My 5 bold predictions. Darnold will put up career highs in TDs and yards and his interceptions will be a career low. Brown will make the probowl. DJ not Anderson will emerge as our biggest downfield threat. The defense will go from the bottom ten in pressures, sacks, and opposing QB rating to the top 10 in all three categories. The offense is going to start slow but will bail out the defense in the last quarter of the season. (Includes Tampa twice)
