pretty shitty for a coach to single out one player on a team full of underachievers.

His modus operandi of calling out the better players on the team baffles me. I get what he's saying that KB cannot be dropping those balls but he's a rookie and we can't put that much pressure on him. Where are the vets to step up?

Some of you are so blinded by your hate for some and love for others it's sickening. Benjamin played mostly well. But his easy drop in the endzone was a HUGE, HUGE, Kelvin Benjamin-sized mistake that very well could have cost us the game.

If you're a coach and you believe that a game came down to one play then you are a bad coach. It is as simple as that. Games don't ride on one play. They don't ride on 5 plays. You' can, however, pin a loss on perpetually poor coaching and personnel decisions. Wonder whose shoulders get that portion of the blame.

You know, it's almost like Benji is a rookie and was being defended by the best CB of the last five years, while getting the ball slapped out of his hands.

But sure, let's blame the guy who did the most right on offense.

So you are saying he didn't drop the pass and it wasn't a huge play?

I'm saying that he was defended against. If that's the one play that sticks out in your mind the most about the game, then you obviously have no recollection of what actually happened in the game yesterday.

      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.
