Is this the same team that will throw the ball all the way down the field and then try to run it in on 4 consecutive plays from the 3 yard line? 

 

Because Ted Ginn, Steve Smith and Greg Olsen repeatedly proved to us they can't catch TDs.

 

It'll be a couple years before this kid makes an impact. He's extremely undisciplined in his route running (which will drive Rivera nuts), will be hard as hell to tackle when he does have the ball, but maybe he can ****** some of those air-mails Cam has been known to throw.

With the new Sr. offensive assistant or whatever there to help with the offense. A new group of WR's that can catch more sure handedly in at least Avant. And hopefully a better oline, I am hoping we aren't that team that air-mails the whole field and then staggers at the goal line.

So we reached in the first round for a red zone target when it has been proven that we have an offensive coordinator with the imagination of a gold fish.

People like you forget who we hired as a assistant. Shula will have help this year.

Several things.

 

1.  "Defenses cannot play 8 in the box while KB on the field."

This is huge!!  If it resurrects our running game, it will naturally open up the passing game.  Also, his size and blocking is good.

 

2.  "Top player on our board when we picked."

You cannot argue that we reached if this is the case.  Does not matter who we wanted, our guys were not at the top of the Panthers board.

 

3.  "Only one guy in the entire draft had the full repitoire of of routes, and that was OBJ"

So, it looks like we cannot hold this against KB and over and over, Gman/Proehl says he passed muster on football knowledge.

 

Gman does this for a living, we just obssess about it, so I will sit back and just worry about the next pick and trust we are a better team today than yesterday

I but into why the reporters were asking about Lee, he is a better receiver than Benjamin and you cannot help but think the fact he went to a college that's known for bust receivers was a factor no matter how small it may of been!.

The fact is Benjamin is a raw sloppy player and that's why most pulled him out of the first round, the kid has a lot to lean and in my opinion Lee would have been more nfl ready.

When you're as big and talented as this kid, you don't have to wait. 

 

You would have to wait if he was an average sized receiver. 

 

At worst, he can be a TD, possession and bail out receiver to start. Just throw it up to him if he can catch them.

Gettlemen made it sound like he was one of the best route runners next to OBJ.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
