Do you think Mike Mitchell leaving was a good thing in the end?

Ehhhh. I'm glad Norman has stepped up and kind of taken Mitchell's role as the vocal guy in the secondary. If he didn't I'd probably still want Mitchell. At this point his loss isn't as bad as it looked 2 months ago.

the meanness in the secondary is being brought more by Boston then Norman. Norman chats but Boston hits tugging hard. Hell I've even seen Bene lay harder hits then Norman.

I can't tell you how many times I have typed the following sentence on this forum:

 

"If we had re-singed Ginn, Captain and Mitchell to their over-sized contracts, it would have reflected NO change at all from the Marty Hurney era of overpaying average players and dooming us to future cap hell."

 

 

so fug yes it was, Mitchell would have had to had a top 5 safety season - the likes of Earl Thomas, Weddle, etc. to warrant that deal. He has been below average with the Steelers to make it an even more brilliant move. 

 

And this isn't a bash Mike Mitchell post, I really liked the guy for us and I'm really happy he got paid.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
