A little trouble in paradise (Seattle)? RW contract talks

The NFL and GMs created this beast. They made the Quarterback position essential to winning with rules changes that favor the passing game. And then all these GMs have offered massive contracts because they realize without a star QB their job is not for long. 

 

But spending 1/7th of your cap space on one player who isn't even considered "great" at his position is breaking the cap. Russel Wilson is a pretty good QB, no doubt about it. But average QBs like Andy Dalton, Kaepernick, Flacco, and even Alex Smith are making silly money.

 

At some point a GM just has to throw his hands up and say "I'm not making you the highest paid QB just because your contract is up". Really that is where we are, a QB gets in the final year of their deal and they expect max money even if their 12th best in the league.

Things like this is what will end up ruining football for me.

Why? The guy wants to get paid. We all do. He is an idiot because he isn't worth what he is asking for but you can't blame him. This is a capitalist country after all.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      Yeah looks good on paper, but the proof is in the pudding
